Why questionaire? this questionnaire removes the need to ask these questions in the form in the first session. This means you can start your counselling assessment or self-paid counselling talking about yourself rather than answering questions about your EDS.

All information you put into this questionnaire is private and confidential, it will only be shared with your specialist counsellor. If you have been asked to complete this for NHS funding application the information will form part of the NHS application for free funding & be shared with the NHS funding panel.

This questionnaire should take no more than 4 minutes to complete.
