Counselling Referral Form

At TRC we want to be able to provide the right help for you, and unfortunately and under some circumstances this will not be our counselling service. Before completing the form please go through the following checks. 

If you are currently experiencing a mental health or emotional crisis and in need of urgent help, counselling is not the right kind of support. Please call the 24-hour Mental Health Matters Helpline on 0800 107 0160 and a trained advisor will help you.  

We cannot offer counselling while you are seeing another counsellor or psychological therapist. You will need to end or suspend other therapy, or if it is time-limited we may be able to hold a place for you until your therapy has ended.

We ask counselling clients to attend regular weekly sessions in person at TRC’s centre in the Trafford area. We are now able to offer counselling via telephone or online.  Most sessions are held on weekdays, however there are a limited number of evening slots available, for which there may be a longer waiting list.

Our service relies solely on external funding and as such voluntary donations at the end of therapy are readily accepted.

There is a very high demand for our service and unfortunately this can mean a waiting list of up to 6 months. The TRC helpline is open Tuesdays and Thursdays between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. and on Sunday between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Our BAME helpline for Black & Ethnically marginalised women is open on Fridays between 10 a.m and 1 p.m.

Helpline Service – Trafford Rape Crisis for additional interim support.

Our Live Chat service is open on Tuesday between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. and on Friday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Please note we can only offer counselling to women aged over 18.
