COVID-19 AND COUNSELLING AVAILABILITY
We are still here for you and are now offering counselling online
(videoconferencing using Zoom) or by telephone. Please do not worry if
you have never used Zoom before, as we can help you get started with it.
Due to the flexibility of working online, our waiting times are quite
short at the moment and you can expect to be allocated a counsellor
within 2-3 weeks.
Normally our standard fee is £40 per session, but we are keen to make
counselling affordable for everybody at this time and so we can offer
time limited counselling from as little as £10 per session, depending on
your circumstances.
The first step is to meet (online or via telephone) with one of our
counsellors for an initial assessment session. This involves taking some
details from you and exploring what you are looking for and how we can
help. There is a £10 fee for this. For further information or to book an
assessment, please call (01252) 860499 or email us here.

What about money?
What happens when you approach Cornerstone?
When you first make contact you will be invited to meet one of the counsellors who will explore with you what you want from the service and explain what we can offer.
At this meeting you will also be asked for some information about yourself and invited to ask questions about our service or counselling in general.
What will happen next?
If you wish to proceed and counselling is considered the right kind of support for you at this time, then you will be assigned a counsellor who will be able to see you on a regular basis, for as long as is necessary for your particular needs.
You will be offered weekly counselling sessions of 50 minutes, ideally at the same time and day each week. We normally offer and agree six sessions in the first instance.
Where are we?
Our counselling rooms are situated at Chaddisbrook House, beside St. Peter’s church in Yateley. You will find our postal address at the foot of this page.
