Dorset Children's Foundation has kindly offered access to counselling support for parents/carers in need of emotional support.

Sessions will be with a student counsellor, Genevieve Smith.

Genevieve is currently studying for her Level 5 qualification in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Bournemouth University.

Genevieve is governed by the National Counselling Board and BACP and works to both these ethical frameworks, including ethics, values, confidentiality and general data protection recommendations.

Counselling Support will be free of charge and become part of Genevieve's accredited training hours. Each session is for 50 minutes.

We will be offering appointments at Linwood Campus and in the future, Springwood Campus.

If you would like more information, please contact Hayley Cheshire (hayley@thedcf.org) or Shan Evans (contact details above).
