How to Refer Children

Most children and young people are referred to the Laura centre by a parent or carer.  You can make contact with us by telephone, letter or e-mail.  Usually one of our receptionists, Jakki, Madeleine or Wendy, will speak to you on the phone and take some basic information about the death and the child/ren.  We aim to offer an initial appointment with a counsellor when we first speak to you, occasionally an appointment may not be available and we will call back as soon as one becomes available.  This initial appointment will give you the opportunity to discuss the needs of the children, any concerns you may have and decide the best way forward. 

Young Person

Sometimes teenagers and older children want to arrange things themselves, without involving other members of their family.  If this is the case, you are welcome to contact us yourself, by telephone, e-mail or letter, and we will arrange an appointment directly with you.  When you contact us you can let us know what times are convenient and also whether you prefer to see a male or female counsellor.
