The clinic is now operating in-person sessions with new measures in place to ensure Welsh Government guidelines are followed. Our aim is to keep you and the clinic team safe during your visit.
We've always offered online therapy as an option, and this will continue should you prefer not to visit us for your appointment.
Enhanced health and safety procedures have been put in place throughout the whole building. They Include shielded areas in reception, and several hand-sanitising stations in the common areas, and private waiting room. A full-time staff of cleaners use anti-bacterial spray on frequent touch points, such as door-handles, banister rails, seating, and of course in the toilets. All visitors are asked to follow the 2 metre social distancing guidelines.
More information on these procedures will be sent to you with your appointment confirmation.
Best wishes,
Andy
