Counselling & psychological services
Get your mind an M.O.T.
A thoughtful place to pause, make sense of what’s happening, and find a way forward that feels like yours.
For children, young people, adults, couples, and families. Support is available in person, online, or by telephone.
A steady place to start
Mental health support and counselling that meets you where you are.
We are a professional family-run practice offering mental health support, counselling, private talking therapies, and psychological services face-to-face in the North East of England, including Sunderland and Newcastle, and face-to-face in Liverpool in the North West of England. Online or telephone support is available across the UK when that is the right fit.
Our work is warm, collaborative, and grounded in experience. You don’t need to arrive with the right words. We can begin with where you are today.
01
Human first
A safe, confidential relationship shaped around the person, not a template.
02
Experienced care
Qualified psychological professionals who bring clarity, skill, and kindness.
03
Flexible access
Choose face-to-face, video, telephone, or a rhythm that works for you.
04
Practical progress
Space to understand what’s happening and build tools for what comes next.
Ways we can help
Care for the whole picture.
Our approach
There is no one-size-fits-all way to feel better.
We combine professional expertise with a genuine understanding that every person, relationship, and workplace carries a different story. Our role is to listen carefully, make things clearer, and work alongside you.
