Report
Extraordinarily disappointed. After second appointment I registered my concern with a misdiagnosis. This was acknowledged and dropped. No correspondence after this. My only conclusion is they just don't care. Go elsewhere.

Report
Have enjoyed my counseling here, except the receptionists are ruining it. At my last appointment I was told I had another one booked for 2 weeks. Well 2 weeks passed and I didnt get any kind of reminder so I sent an email to check, got no response, so I rang up, found out that apparently there was no appointments booked for me at all in the future. May not sound like a big deal, but for someone dealing with mental health issues/crisises this is a really dangerous mistake for them to make, and they weren't apologetic at all. Really let down.
