Coronavirus

In-Person & Remote Counselling

The legal requirement to wear face coverings in shops, hospitality venues and on public transport in Scotland ended in April 2022.  We therefore no longer require the wearing of face coverings, but we continue to recommend using them for the protection of yourself and others. This will particularly be the case when there are high levels of covid-19 infections across the city.

We have changed our guidance and will no longer ask all clients, counsellors and visitors to wear face coverings in the Waiting Area and corridors.

We are very pleased that throughout the pandemic, the PF has never having been cited as the cause of any covid-19 cross-infection.  We thank everyone for your help in achieving this, and hope that continued vigilance will preserve that record.

We no longer advise clients and counsellors to take a Lateral Flow Test before travelling to the premises.  However, if a client or a counsellor has symptoms which may imply a risk of Covid-19 infection, remote sessions continue to be available to avoid the risk of transmission.  Please contact the Office if you need to arrange for your next session to be remote.

The considerations for everyone attending in-person sessions, which are aimed at keeping everyone safe from coronavirus, continue to provide a background context for achieving this. These can be viewed here.

Client Cancellations

If you have an an appointment set up for a remote session, please continue to notify us by email if you need to cancel. You can also telephone if necessary as our office is staffed during our normal opening hours. There is a voicemail service where you can leave a message outside these times.
