If sessions are face to face, in the interests of client and staff safety we will be encouraging everybody, unless medically exempt, to continue to wear face coverings, maintain social distancing and to use the hand sanitisers we have available. We appreciate for some this may be frustrating but to help ensure the wellbeing of all, we feel it is beneficial to continue to use these precautions for the current time.

Counselling services are informed by a person centred philosophy where clients set the agenda and pace of the counselling intervention. Key to counselling are the qualities of empathy, acceptance and congruence. We inform you of the benefits, side effects and potential hazards of any treatment you receive.
At Sunderland Counselling Service we are an independent local charity that has been established for over 30 years. We are funded by the Sunderland Clinical Commissioning Group to provide counselling to anyone living in Sunderland who needs support with a common mental health issue. We are proud to be a British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Accredited Counselling Service.
In Sunderland the IAPT services are integrated with the Primary Care Mental Health teams and offer a wider range of services than IAPT. Sunderland Counselling Service are fully committed in supporting the clients in our community and North East region. Our staff, volunteers and partners are dedicated to achieving our vision.
Trusteeship as being responsible to all staff, volunteers and users of our services, which is, managing their health, safety and welfare; ensuring the managing of resources by understanding the financial implication of every decision we make. And for the Trustees to work collectively as a group. Having qualified as a Registered General Nurse then as a Midwife, I have spent my working life caring for people of all ages and with all kinds of needs.
