The six of us

Six people, not a pool

You are told on the 15-minute call which of us would hold your work and why, and the wait for that person before you agree to anything. The waits below are counted on a Monday and are the real ones, including the long one. You can change counsellor at any point, and your band and your place travel with you.

Ask for the 15 minutesWhat we work with

A high-backed upholstered armchair against a dark timber wall, with a fringed standard lamp and a small round side table
Room one. Marlene's chair, and the lamp that has outlasted three sets of curtains.
Shortest wait this week

Who is here

In their own words, with the wait

Each of us wrote our own paragraph. The training is listed because people ask and it is a fair question, and because the three words counsellor, psychologist and psychiatrist get used as if they were one job.

Who holds what

Matched to the thing you came with

The same list from the other direction. Where two names are against one thing, either of us can take it, and the call decides on the wait and on who sounds right to you rather than on a rota.
