Receiving a neuro diagnosis is life changing. Many people feel isolated or depressed, or struggle to adapt to a new way of life or process traumatic experiences, like a stroke. Family carers may feel overwhelmed as they adjust to caring for their loved one. Despite this, many people with a neuro disability struggle to access mental health services: a Neurological Alliance survey revealed that 61% of UK adults with a neuro condition would like to receive counselling, but haven’t been offered any.
Our free counselling service, with face-to-face, phone or online sessions, offers people a confidential, empathetic, safe and non-judgemental space to talk about their feelings with a qualified or student counsellor with special understanding of neuro conditions. We treat people as individuals, so our counsellors are carefully matched by specialty to service users' conditions and needs, and our flexible approach means that we can often accept people who have been turned down by other services.
