Welcome to our Community Support Services
We became a Community Interest Company (CIC) in May 2024. This means we are able to support those in our local community who are struggling with their mental health.
Supporting You
The UK is in the midst of a mental health crisis. Over 2 million people in the UK are accessing mental health services (Mind, March 2024). Demand is so high, therefore people are waiting months for mental health support and this can be at a significant cost. NE1 Counselling CIC believe that mental health support should be available to all those who require it.
We offer:
1:1 Counselling Sessions
Group Support Sessions

OUR PREVIOUS PROJECT
MARCH - DECEMBER 2024
South Tyneside
Funded by Firstport​

Thanks to the £5,000 Boost Fund and the £5,000 Growth Fund we received from Firstport, we were able to provide 156 fully-subsidised counselling sessions to residents of South Tyneside. We also ran a support group with 1:1 mental health check-ins for ten weeks. Our project was based at Bilton Hall Community Trust in Jarrow. The feedback we received from both service users and Bilton Hall members of staff and trustees was exceptional.
"My time with my counsellor has proved very beneficial as I've had a breakthrough with my mental health." - South Tyneside Client A
"Thank you so much for helping me open up old wounds to then be able to finally heal properly." - South Tyneside Client B
"It has been a privilege having your support at Bilton Hall Community Trust. Feedback from your clients has been outstanding." - Bilton Hall Staff Member
We are so grateful for the support given to us by the staff and trustees at Bilton Hall. It was a rewarding project and we hope to be back supporting residents of South Tyneside in the future.
