How to get an appointment

Every clinic appointment is made by a Citizens Advice Bureau volunteer, so they can check a clinic is the right help for you.

  1. Contact your local CAB

    Visit, phone or message your nearest Citizens Advice Bureau and tell them what's happening.

  2. Talk it through with a volunteer

    If a clinic can help, the volunteer books you in. You'll get a text to confirm the time.

  3. Meet a practitioner

    Bring any letters or documents. You'll get up to 30 minutes of free advice on your next steps.

You can't book a clinic directly with us. Please start with your local CAB.
