Sunderland Counselling Service

About Sunderland Counselling Service

Sunderland Counselling Service is a registered charity (number 1159057) based on John Street in the city centre. It works closely with NHS Talking Therapies services across the North East, providing counselling and psychological therapies, and also runs its own services in Sunderland.

These include a bereavement support group, counselling for children and young people (including in schools), specialist counselling for adult survivors of sexual violence and abuse, and link work within local community mental health teams. The charity's website and main phone line are the starting point for enquiries. It is not an emergency service: in a crisis, call NHS 111 and choose option 2, call Samaritans on 116 123, or call 999 in an emergency. The John Street base is a short walk from Sunderland station.
