Cool.
So, do people get referred to you then?

I've knocked it on the head this year as I haven't really felt up to taking on other people's shit, but I'm determined to get it underway again this next few months, particularly in the spring when the weather improves.
Self-referral mostly, when it's fully established I'll get some proper accreditation and insurance and hopefully get referrals from elsewhere.

I'm just looking throughthe website now.
It looks like a very good idea. Have you thought about applying for lottery funding?

I have, I spent last year proving the concept
but as an unqualified counsellor - I'm a listener, in fact - I don't feel hugely comfortable setting it up as a funded service until I'm more experienced and at least partially qualified. That'll come eventually, the base running costs are quite low but I'd like a little funding to allow me to promote more, broaden my range a bit and increase my access to courses and qualifications.

Try talking to other established depression charities
They might be able to give you some advice.

They may well, and I already have quite a few contacts locally that've been very helpful, so I'll lean on them again when the time is right.
Appreciated, lady, cheers.

Oh wow, I've heard you talk about this idea but never realised you've implimented it.
What's the website? I know it's not really a thing someone says to mates, but I'm actually really proud with you on this idea.
