Simple, thoughtful and ready when they are

How it works

FOR YOU makes it easy to give someone time and space that’s just for them. Choose the number of counselling conversations you’d like to gift, add the optional FOR YOU gift box if you wish, and we’ll take care of the rest.

The recipient can use their gift when they feel ready, with 12 months from the date of issue to activate it and take that first step.

The FOR YOU gifting process

From choosing their gift to their first conversation

Choose their gift

Choose from 1, 3 or 6 confidential online counselling conversations.

You can also add the optional FOR YOU gift box to make their gift feel even more personal.

Add their details

Provide the recipient’s details and, if you wish, include a personal message with the gift.

If a physical gift box is ordered, it will be sent directly to the named recipient.

They receive their FOR YOU gift

For physical gift boxes, the recipient’s unique FOR YOU gift code will be included on the counselling gift card inside the box.

For digital-only gifts, we will create the recipient’s unique gift code and send their digital FOR YOU gift within one working day, together with their personal message and instructions.

Ready when they are

The recipient uses the QR code or digital gift link to claim their gift with their name, email address and unique FOR YOU gift code.

They’ll then be contacted to arrange their first conversation. If the gift is activated within 14 days of purchase, the appointment will simply be arranged for after the cancellation period ends.

No rush. Their gift, their time.

There’s no expectation to use a FOR YOU gift immediately.

Each FOR YOU gift must be activated within 12 months of the date of issue, giving the recipient plenty of time to decide when they would like to begin.

For 3 and 6 Conversation gifts, the recipient only needs to activate and begin using their gift within that 12-month period. Once counselling has started, any remaining conversations can be arranged at an appropriate pace.

Once the gift has been activated or the recipient has attended their first counselling conversation, it becomes personal to them and cannot then be transferred to or shared with somebody else.

No pressure.

Just take the first step when it feels right.

What happens in the conversation?

Your conversation, your pace

Each conversation takes place online with a qualified counsellor and is confidential, subject to the usual professional and safeguarding limits.

There’s nothing the recipient needs to prepare beforehand and no expectation that they arrive knowing exactly what they want to talk about.

The conversation is their space. They choose what matters to them, what they want to explore and where the conversation goes.

Continue your conversations

Want to keep talking?

A FOR YOU gift may be somebody’s first experience of counselling. If they reach the end of their gifted conversations and would like to continue, they can choose to arrange further sessions themselves.

There is absolutely no expectation to do so. The decision belongs entirely to the recipient.

Additional self-funded counselling conversations are available at £35 per conversation and are purchased directly by the counselling client, independently of the person who originally bought the gift.

No pressure. It’s completely up to you.
