Rainbow of Hope Low Cost Virtual Counselling Clinic
Rainbow of Hope (ROH) Virtual Counselling Clinic, brought to you by OCD & Anxiety Support Hong Kong, is a transformative initiative aimed at providing comprehensive mental health support to adults aged 18-65 who are struggling with anxiety, high levels of stress and mild depression.
From April 204, Rainbow of Hope will move from providing free counselling to a low cost counselling service for those in genuine need. Our decision to introduce a low cost fee for our service is a result of clients who didn’t show up to their counselling appointments without informing their counsellors beforehand and from clients who gave the impression that they couldn’t afford counselling when they actually could. The cost of each counselling session will now be $300HKD and will need to be paid before the session.
We understand that financial difficulties can be a barrier to accessing counselling, which is why we strive to offer support to those who do not have the means to afford or access traditional counselling. We trust that individuals who access our services will honor the spirit of this initiative and only seek counselling if they truly require the support.
Please sign up for counselling with Rainbow of Counselling by clicking here. You will be contacted once your application has been submitted and be informed if you are eligible for counselling with us by our coordinator.
While our counselling services are low cost, it is essential to respect the resources and efforts involved in providing this service. We kindly ask that individuals who avail themselves of the low counselling sessions do so with genuine intentions and a commitment to actively engage in the therapeutic process.We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in making this initiative a success and reaching as many individuals as possible.
Currently, we do not provide counselling through the Rainbow of Hope Service for OCD as it requires more specialised training. If you or your loved one requires counselling for OCD, please contact our CEO, Minal Mahtani who specialises in the treatment of OCD through her own private practice and she will provide you treatment options. In addition, you can learn more about Minal Mahtani below.
