Suite A, Business Development Centre, Stafford Park 4, Telford, Shropshire, TF3 3BA · Service area: Telford

The McGilligan Practice in short

The McGilligan Practice is a counselling and psychotherapy practice at the Business Development Centre on Stafford Park, also offering ADHD and autism support [1]. Our verdict is that its breadth is real but its paperwork is the thinnest in the round: no practitioner qualifications, accreditations, fees or session terms are published anywhere we looked [1]. Weekday hours run half past eight in the morning to half past eight at night, Monday to Friday [2].

Customer reviews of The McGilligan Practice amount to a single five-star Google review, with no other public rating source found [3]. Contact looks straightforward, with landline, mobile and an enquiry form answered within a day, plus long weekday hours [1] [2]. The site gives service headlines but little detail beyond the address, phones and enquiry form [1] [2].

Our verdict

Our judgement: The McGilligan Practice suits you if you want a Telford-based practice covering both counselling and ADHD or autism support, with long weekday hours [1] [2]. The lack of published qualifications, fees and insurance detail counts against it, and review evidence is minimal [1] [3].

Questions about The McGilligan Practice

Is The McGilligan Practice any good?

The honest answer is that the evidence is too thin to say: it pairs counselling with ADHD and autism support from Stafford Park, but publishes no qualifications, fees or terms, and holds a single Google review [1] [3]. That kept it outside our top ten. Read the full review, then ask for the missing detail directly.

Is The McGilligan Practice registered with a professional body?

No registration can be sourced: industry qualifications cannot be found on the registers, the website or the platforms checked [1]. That is a genuine gap rather than a failing on its own. Ask the practice what registration its practitioners hold and check the answer on the register.

What does The McGilligan Practice charge?

No fees, session lengths or VAT position are published; the site invites visitors to arrange an initial consultation instead [1] [2]. That makes the first contact essential. Ask for the full fee list, session format and cancellation terms in writing before you commit.

Where does The McGilligan Practice work?

The practice sits in Suite A of the Business Development Centre on Stafford Park in Telford, working weekday hours from half past eight in the morning to half past eight at night [1] [2]. Contact runs by landline, mobile and enquiry form. Send your needs with your first message.

How is The McGilligan Practice ranked?

It sits outside our top ten in the September round: the missing qualifications, fees and cover detail kept it out of the table despite the ADHD and autism breadth. It can send that detail for the next round. Read the full review, then ask for the missing paperwork.
