New Online Counselling Service for Adults

South East London CCG and Integrated Care System has just commissioned Qwell, a free, anonymous online counselling and emotional wellbeing service for adults. The site is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and offers early preventative care and support without any prior thresholds to meet. Adults aged 26 years of age can receive counselling sessions from qualified counsellors via an online chat-based platform.

Chats can either be accessed through a drop-in service, or pre-booked sessions from
any connected device. The site is open 24 hours a day; one-to-one counselling sessions with a qualified counsellor are available from 12-noon until 10pm on weekdays, and from 6pm until 10pm on weekends.
