We continuously try to improve our service and often ask our clients for their comments by using questionnaires and service evaluation form. If you are dissatisfied in any way please let us know. You can speak to your counsellor, the office receptionist or the Director. You may prefer to telephone or put your dissatisfaction in writing. We will investigate all complaints, no matter how small and whether they are made formally or informally. We will do our best to put things right and improve our Service in the process. We also appreciate positive feedback as this also helps us to maintain and improve our service.
