Make a Referral

We are able to accept referrals for our Therapy service in BUXTON & HIGH PEAKS– We will also consider referrals from those able to travel to Buxton to access support on a weekly basis. This is for both Children’s & Adults Therapy.

As from 1st November 2024 we will also be able to accept referrals for remote adult therapy across the county, this does not include remote therapy for people under 18yrs of age. 

Unfortunately, we are not yet able to accept referrals for face-to-face therapy other than in the Buxton and High Peaks area as mentioned above.

Please check the resource library on our website for help, you can also contact your GP or call Rape Crisis helpline on 0808 500 22 22 which is open 24 hours.
