Our Holistic Support Service & Counselling

What is Our Holistic Support Service?

Our Holistic Support Service is something new and fresh we are able to offer parent carers of Sunderland and surrounding areas. 

​

This service focuses as an entirely solution focused model of support for individuals who have received a diagnosis or on the pathway of receiving a diagnosis for their child. We do not hold any specific criteria, and aim to support those families who would possibly not know where to start in seeking support. 

​

We offer our services in a holistic way, meaning we try to encompass all things we possibly can into our sessions together. 

​

Our service is currently offered as a opt out service with Sunderland Royal Hospital working in partnership to break the stigma of asking for support and acknowledging support is needed even without request. 

​

Within our sessions together you will get:

​

  • Allocated a wellbeing practitioner who will be your point of support

  • Opportunity to specify how often and how long we see one another

  • Be offered mental health support while navigating the new "SEND" world

  • Signposted to other services, playgroups, support hubs, and opportunities

  • Offered appointments with a financial advisor to ensure correct benefits are being claimed

  • Access to different agencies we work with by direct referral 

  • Be able to set realistic achievable goals for yourself

​

Counselling is a talking therapy offered over six sessions to parent carers in the Sunderland area. Our therapists use a person centred model of counselling, but can also offer a solution focused and CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) approach where necessary. 

​

Our service is offered within a safe, comfortable, and confidential environment, with a member of our team of counsellors, who will offer you an empathetic and therapeutic helping relationship.

​

Within this helping relationship, you will be able to set a therapeutic aim or goal, exploring avenues of support, and experiences. 

​

  • Experiencing low mood or depression

  • Feelings of anxiety

  • Bereavement, grief or feelings of loss

  • Self-esteem issues

  • Feelings of loss of identity

  • Understanding big changes in life

  • Anger and frustration
