Wellbeing Service
CliniQ’s Wellbeing service provides wellbeing and therapy in joined up all-round support!
CliniQ is dedicated to being a holistic sexual health service. We are aware that the sexual health of our clients can have an impact on mental health and wellbeing; and that sexual health can be highly influenced by mental health and wellbeing as well. CliniQ therefore provides a Wellbeing Service, which incorporates counselling and mentoring.
Please email: mentoring@cliniq.org.uk for more information and to register.
Once you register with these services at CliniQ the first steps will be to have Support and Mentoring assessment and sessions. These sessions will identify your wellbeing needs.
You may be supported by a CliniQ mentor or your mentor may refer you on for counselling services where it is identified that therapeutic counselling sessions would be most appropriate. You would then be referred to one of our counselling assessors before being put forward for either short or longer-term sessions.
CliniQ can offer support and advice on…
- Sex, Sexual Health & Relationships

- Alcohol & Substance use
- Housing
- Employment
- Discrimination & hate crime
