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.
