Access counselling has been a life saver for me. From the minute I walked in the door I felt welcome and understood. Andy my counsellor had his work cut out with me but my life has been improved so much and I appreciate everything. Still continue to see him when I need. The athmosphere when you walk in is friendly and I felt so comfortable with the whole process. Would highly recommend to everyone.
