No. You can contact The Tuesday Chapter directly. You do not need a referral or a diagnosis to enquire.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) explores how thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and actions influence each other. It combines conversation with practical work, such as testing predictions or building helpful routines, agreed together.
Counselling is a broad term for talking therapy. CBT is a structured approach within it: we talk through your experience and also agree practical steps to try between sessions.
It depends on your needs and goals. We agree a plan early on and review it as therapy progresses, so you always know where the work is heading.
You may choose a small task between sessions, such as noticing a pattern or trying a manageable step. Tasks are agreed together and should fit your circumstances and energy.
The Tuesday Chapter offers trauma-informed therapy. We begin by discussing your current difficulties and the support you need. Some difficulties, including PTSD, may need assessment and specialist treatment, and we will talk openly about the best next step for you.
