Predictors of Client Non-return to Post-intake Counselling

##article.abstract##

This study investigated how an analysis of intake information, including psychological symptom status, would discriminate between male and female returners and non-returners to post-intake counselling. The sample consisted of 261 clients (180 women, 81 men) at a university counselling centre. The results revealed distinct psychological symptom statuses and demographic profiles of female and male non-returners to counselling. Implications of these results and directions for future research are discussed.
