Notice: Temporary Phone Line Issues

We are currently experiencing technical issues with our phone lines during our closing hours. Instead of redirecting to voicemail, calls made outside of our operating hours may receive an “incorrect number” message.

Please note that calls made during our open hours are unaffected, so feel free to reach us at those times.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please feel free to contact us via email or through our website’s contact form.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Contact Us

For more information about any of our services please contact the main office by telephone, email or post.
Our office is open between 9.30am and 3.00pm Monday to Friday. At other times telephone messages can be left on the answer phone and your call will be returned as soon as possible.
Counselling is available Monday to Friday between 8.00am and 9.00pm (venue dependent).
