22/1/21    "open" and taking referrals. Of course, if you choose not to have face to face , I can offer you videocalls.  I can practise safely  under the recommendations and guidelines set by the UK and Scottish  governments , as Tier 4 allows counselling for "essential therapy". I am a trained and registered nurse so am aware of infection control measures and disease spread . My room allows a 2 meter distancing. There is low footfall (perhaps 3- 4 clients a day) which will allow me to clean in between. I will provide hand sanitiser which you can use frequently and before/after the session. If you require water, can I ask you that you bring your own bottle? Any paperwork required for each session will be sent online, where possible,  and payments made by bank transfer. There are toilet facilities at the office, but you may not wish to use these (to reduce your potential to exposure ). The same as the small waiting room ( so perhaps try and come on time for the appointment, rather than early , where you may need to use it).   Please inform me if-  You have tested positive or had treatment for COVID-19? You have, or has anyone you are in close contact with, had any of the signs or symptoms associated with coronavirus Have you been strictly following the social distancing measures outlined by the government during COVID-19? You are at high risk/shielding . And, by agreeing to face to face appoints, you agree to me passing your details on to Trace and Protect-and you need to do this with my details too.  Thankyou-please ask me any questions relating to the above
