Information regarding COVID-19
Genesis strives to provide a safe environment for both our staff and clients in Genesis during these difficult times. We are continuing to provide a face-to-face service alongside online and telephone support. The standard therapy rooms in Genesis are big enough to allow the recommended social distancing space of 2 metres between therapist and client as long as there are no more than 2 clients in the room so this allows us to provide both individual and couples therapy in these rooms. We also have a bigger room which allows us to provide therapy to families of more than 2 people.
A regular cleaning regime has been implemented on our premises and we have made hand sanitiser available at different locations in the building. We ask both our staff and our clients to sanitise their hands on both entering and leaving the building and to continue to follow social distancing guidelines while on the premises.
ATTENDING GENESIS FOR FACE-TO-FACE THERAPY
- Please follow the government social distancing guidelines while on the premises
- Please sanitise your hands when entering and leaving the premises.
- We would ask clients who have a face-to-face appointment to strictly adhere to their appointment times. Clients who arrive early may be asked to wait outside and clients who arrive late will have to stick to their appointment end time regardless of the appointment duration.
- We also ask anybody accompanying a client who is attending our service to please wait outside the premises for the duration of the appointment and not to wait in our waiting area.
- Some of our therapists may ask you to wear a visor for the duration of the appointment. We have visors available for clients who don’t have one on arrival.
- We still accept cash payments but also have a facility to pay by card on the premises or to pay by card through a weblink.
