This paper gives information about people attending a counselling centre and a psychiatric out-patient clinic in London. Data were collected in order to clarify the extent to which the counselling centre deals with people with significant psychiatric morbidity, rather than people with distress and life problems not amounting to illness; and also to define groups in society currently using the counselling services, by systematically recording socio-demographic information about them.
