Reopening Safety Protocols

The Ford Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre will resume face to face counselling work once it is safe to do so. We are currently providing video counselling, telephone check-ins and telephone counselling due to risk and restrictions.

The Board of Directors and Management has developed safety protocols to deal with the on-going threat presented by Covid-19 when the centre opens up for face to face work again.

Our aim is to allow staff and clients safe access to our buildings and services in Enniscorthy, Gorey and Wexford.

These protocols are guided by the Government, Health and Safety Authority and the HSE
