What is Available?
We are working hard to reduce our waiting times for counselling. We understand that waiting for your counselling is extremely challenging so we offer a range of other services to support you in the meantime. Accessing any of our other services is completely optional.
>> Single Session Therapy
Once you have had the initial assessment you can request a Single Session Therapy (SST). This session offers a focused opportunity to explore a specific concern with a qualified counsellor. The session lasts 90 minutes and is usually delivered online or by phone, with face-to-face appointments available by arrangement.
This is a solution-focused approach, designed to help you make sense of a particular issue and identify practical ways forward within a single session. It works best when you have one clear area you’d like support with, offering space to reflect and develop strategies you can take away and use.
Single Session Therapy is not intended for trauma processing, but can be a helpful form of support when you need to address something specific.
>>One-to-One Coaching Support Sessions
Coaching focuses on the present and future; helping you build confidence, strengthen skills, and move toward goals you choose for yourself. Coaching support is completely separate from counselling and will not affect your place on the waiting list. If you choose to take part, you will still receive your full counselling sessions once they become available.

>> Emotional Support Calls
Regular one-to-one support calls are available on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis, depending on your needs. These sessions offer a confidential, compassionate space to talk, reflect, and feel heard, helping you stay connected and supported while you wait for counselling. If you are interested in calls please email us at help@quetzal.org.uk
>> Group Sessions (Counsellor-Led)
Our small, counsellor-led group sessions (typically 4–6 women) provide a safe, welcoming environment to explore your experiences. These sessions gently support you in understanding your responses to trauma, while connecting with others who may share similar journeys. Many women find comfort, validation, and strength in this shared space. Counsellor-Led Group Sessions – Quetzal
>> Weekly Drop-In Sessions

>> Themed Workshops
We regularly host workshops focused on topics that matter to you, such as menopause, body literacy and more. These sessions combine education with gentle exploration, empowering you with knowledge and practical tools while supporting your personal growth and wellbeing.
