What is it?
"[I'd] never considered careers advice until someone put me in touch with Bridge the Gap. The help and advice given to me has been literally life changing."  
- Michelle, on Google

When you contact us we will listen and ask clear and relevant questions to identify exactly what issues or challenges you are setting out to resolve.

We will identify the most appropriate facilitator to work with you towards resolution. Ultimately, your Bridge The Gap Facilitator will achieve one of the following:

  • Enable you to reach resolution; or

  • Work with you to construct a clear action plan for you to engage with other agencies, organisations, or individuals to achieve the best outcomes you can.

  • Exploring options

  • Researching and identifying crucial information

  • Writing emails/letters and completing forms

  • Contacting people on your behalf 

  • Advocating for you

ABOUT

Our business is founded on our Code of Culture - Bridge The Gap Facilitators has always been radical in the way we work. We are truly flexible in our delivery, considering the needs of our clients and our facilitators.

Our practice is neurodivergent designed and truly disability accessible. What we deliver and how we deliver it is pro-LGBTQIA+ and anti-racist. We will always consider the socio-political impact on our clients and encourage them to do the same.

"My issues were listened to with so much care... I felt very comfortable and happy during the discussion... This service helped me realise I needed a bigger challenge and more responsibility, I am now much happier with my job choice which has made me happier in general."

"[This] was my first experience with a counsellor… her calm and non-judgemental manner gently introduced ways of looking at my own thought processes and… helped me to think more objectively about things that had preyed on my mind for years, and would now lose their power to make me unhappy."

How It Works

HOW IT WORKS

Assessment

  • Your triage assessment will be completed or a time arranged to do so.

  • This first assessment up to 30 mins is FREE.

  • If you plan to continue with BTG, or need time to decide, you will be asked to sign our Service Relationship Agreement, including our privacy statement.

  • If you plan to go elsewhere for support we will not store your information. We will destroy any contact details we have for you.

  • We do not work with children aged 10 or under. We work with children aged 11-15 with parental consent.

  • For anyone aged 16 or over our standard policies apply.

Service

  • According to your assessment you will be assigned a facilitator. This may be your assessor or another facilitator depending on your needs.

  • All sessions will be delivered according to our Service Relationship Agreement, and Health & Safety, Equality & Diversity, and Privacy Policies.

  • Each hour of facilitation, up to 8 hours (negotiable), costs £25, payable 48hrs in advance. After 8 hours facilitation, price can be adjusted. Travel costs are charged at cost or 50p/mile.

  • The content, duration, and number of sessions is entirely flexible and arranged between you and your facilitator.

  • Should you need a long term service this can be arranged and the cost reassessed.

  • Sometimes your case might need input from another facilitator. In this case your point of contact will still be your facilitator who will act as a liaison between you both.

​​

  • Your final sessions will be agreed through discussion between you and your facilitator. They will consider your initial needs and any factors arising through the course of your sessions.

"Thank you so much for what you done it’s amazing! I’ve learnt a lot by the way you have rephrased and moved things around, I also find the colour coding incredibly helpful."
