Emotional First Aid is an exciting new service that offers people instant support with an issue that they are experiencing in that moment. It is a single session designed to help tackle a problem or gain perspective immediately, at the end of the session the client will hopefully be able to cope with whatever was causing them anxiety and continue on with their day. If a client wants to continue into full time therapy with you, this is something that you can discuss between yourselves. Therapy Finders will not have any further involvement passed the Emotional First Aid session. Emotional First Aid is not designed for people suffering from a long-term mental health issues or if the issue that is causing anxiety is deep rooted. In these cases, we would recommend sign-posting them through our matching service to find a specialist therapist who can support them through longer term therapy or arranging further sessions between the two of you.

If you become part of the Emotional First Aid team you will get paid for all of your completed sessions at the end of each week.  You will be able to see a record of all of your sessions in your private member portal.

The Emotional First Aid service is fully automated. When you log on to the service you will be asked to select how many hours you are available for, you will then be given access to a "waiting room" where you can select clients on a first come-first serve basis. Each person who buys a session will be put in the "waiting room" and you can see as many clients as you wish until the "waiting room" is empty. Due to the service being aimed at issues people are experiencing in the here-and-now i.e. anxiety and not long-term issues all qualified therapists should be able to run any session. If a client brings an issue that cannot be covered in one session you should make them aware of the limitations of the service, support them for the session and suggest they consider longer term therapy if necessary.
