How can I be referred for employment support?
You can ask your therapist to refer you for Employment Support at any point of your treatment journey, including while you are on a waiting list for your therapy.

Feedback for our Employment Support
“The cv is fantastic thank you so much!”
“Thank you very much for your support and advice as it did help my mindset in returning to work and once I had returned to work. It also gave me the confidence to meet my manager to discuss some of the issues without being too fearful. The support was very much appreciated.”
“Just to let you know I have had some great news over the weekend, and I have been offered a job!”
