PF Online Sessions

PF Online Sessions

Welcome to the PF Counselling online meeting area.  Please read the notes below if you are new to the Attend Anywhere online meeting platform.

Click this button to enter your Online Session and wait for your counsellor:
(You should just enter your First Name and Initial of your surname, when prompted. You should not enter your date of birth or phone number.) 


PF and Attend Anywhere

The PF Online meeting area is provided free of charge with the support of the NHS.  However, it is an independent platform and does not mean that the sessions are linked to NHS services in any other way.  It uses the same technology as Near Me, and you may find some features that reflect this.

Download and Read our Client Leaflet

AA Client Leaflet

Our Client Leaflet describes how to attend your counselling appointment via video using Attend Anywhere.  Click here or on the image to the left to download the PDF leaflet.

We also have Client Guidelines which you should read if you have not attended a professional confidential session (such as a therapist or doctor’s appointment) before.

If you use your phone to connect to Attend Anywhere, you might want to put it in ‘do not disturb’ mode (or flight mode as long as you are using wifi) as incoming calls can disrupt the session.

If in doubt, please call the PF Office for advice.
