Counselling Sessions for members of the Turner Syndrome Support Society UK

The Turner Syndrome Support Society UK [TSSS] is delighted to offer members of the society the opportunity to benefit from counselling with Moya Fletcher. These sessions will be one-to-one with Moya via zoom and in confidence. We have now lost our funding for this programme. However, we are seeking future funding. We can continue to fund eight sessions per member, for a small number of members on a first come first served basis. We are very pleased to be able to offer a service that will directly benefit many members of the TSSS.
Here are a few quotes from our evaluation forms: "I just wanted to say how positive L has become since having her session with Moya. She has started to make more positive statements."
"Mum and I both agreed how nice it was speaking to Moya during our sessions we both learnt meditation exercises that we will be able to use both now and, in the future."
"I felt Moya had a better understanding of me and how my mind is due to her knowledge of TS which is unique to any other counsellor."
