Thetford Centre
Do you live in South Norfolk? If you do, why not visit our Connexions Centre in Thetford. You could use the computers there, look through our information library or talk to a Personal Adviser.
Talk to someone
If you need someone to talk to about addressing or resolving a particular problem, making an important decision, coping with a crisis, working through a conflict or improving your relationships with others, seeking out a trained counsellor can help.
Counsellors work to a code of professional conduct that means that they do not discriminate against any person, and offer the highest levels of confidentiality in order to respect people's privacy and create the trust necessary for counselling.
Find out more about counselling – including free counselling services where you live – by going to the Counselling page.
