    Counsellors disconnecting quickly?

    Sun Nov 15, 2020 2:17 am

    Is the service really busy? The support really has dropped off. I hope management is supporting Counsellors. I value the service and am grateful for it but I’m starting to feel uncomfortable using it. Not sure whether it’s aimed to not create dependency on the service but please just be transparent because it’s a horrid feeling.
    Also some counsellors will only let you type one comment at a time, it feels so controlling! Other counsellor let you just have a regular conversation.
    This is an important service. If your counsellors are burnt out please support them. It’s very valuable.!

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your feedback.
    I am sad to hear that you are starting to have a negative experience and that is starting to make you feel uncomfortable.

    You can and should reach out for support anytime you need, and you should be supported a 100% .

    I will pass your feedback to the right person.
