Whether you are seeking support for yourself, a veteran, a family member, or someone you support professionally, Pathfinder will help you find the right next step.
Your route into support
The Pathfinder Journey
You do not need to have everything figured out before making contact. The first step is simply to find a safe starting point.
Find Your Bearings
We arrange an initial conversation where appropriate, listen carefully and help you understand your options.
Choose the Route
Together, we identify the most appropriate pathway, whether that is therapy, low-cost support, veteran-specific support or signposting.
The Journey Begins
If therapy feels right, we agree a plan and begin at a pace that feels safe, collaborative and manageable.
Reaching out does not commit you to therapy. It simply opens a conversation about what support may be appropriate.
Professional standards
Pathfinder Therapy CIC is an NCPS Recognised Counselling Service, membership number RCS6035.
Our assessment, safeguarding and clinical governance procedures support safe and appropriate access to therapy.
Assessment and triage
We will check whether Pathfinder is the right service.
Before therapy begins, we will consider suitability, presenting needs, risk, availability, professional boundaries and whether another service may be more appropriate.
1. Initial enquiry
We review basic contact information, enquiry type and the reason support is being sought.
2. Suitability check
We consider whether Pathfinder can offer appropriate support within our current service model.
3. Risk and safeguarding
Where risk or safeguarding concerns are indicated, we may advise urgent, statutory or specialist routes.
4. Contracting
If Pathfinder is appropriate, clear therapy arrangements, boundaries, fees/funding and confidentiality are agreed before work begins.
