CF Ireland offers a counselling referral service to members who wish to speak with a professional outside of the hospital environment to work through their concerns and difficulties.

How do I apply?

There is no formal application process in place for members to avail of this service. CFI should be contacted directly, or a family member could contact us on your behalf. CFI will approve eight sessions initially with a counsellor – additional sessions will be subject to approval by CFI. All referrals are treated in the strictest of confidence.

When can I apply?

Members can avail of these services at any time.

Can I apply again?

This is not an ongoing service for members; however, if after the initial eight sessions you feel that additional counselling would be greatly beneficial; please get in touch with us to discuss the possibility of extending this service further.
