A little bit about us.
Find out more about what we do.
Professional counselling services, based in Newcastle.
We, Louise and Marilyn, are co-founders of NE1 Counselling. Our ethos is that we want to support anyone who wishes to access counselling, when they need it, within the NE1 community and beyond. To allow for greater accessibility, we can offer face-to-face sessions in our city centre counselling space as well as online and telephone sessions. We strongly believe that a lack of financial means should not be a barrier to accessing counselling.

What is counselling?Counselling is a collaborative relationship between counsellor and client. Professional counsellors help clients identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional distress; improve communication and coping skills; strengthen self-esteem; and promote behaviour change and optimal mental health.
-
What is the pluralistic approach?Each client is unique and therefore may need different things from counselling. Working with a pluralistic approach allows us to use different approaches and tools to best suit the individual. Pluralistic counselling allows counsellors and clients to work together to find the best way to address clients' conerns. You can find out more about the pluralistic approach here.
-
How long is a session?Our sessions generally last 50 minutes, however different timings can be discussed on an individual basis.
-
How many sessions will I need?This differs from person to person. Generally, we would start with six sessions and will carry out a review after your sixth session. There is no limit to the number of counselling sessions you can receive. These decisions will be made mutually.
-
Do we meet in person or online?We can offer our clients the choice of face to face, online or telephone appointments – whichever suits you best. We can even offer a mixture of the three methods to fit in with your lifestyle and preferences.
-
Do I get to meet my counsellor before the first session?Yes. We offer a free, 15 minute consultation online or by telephone. This allows you, the client, to discuss areas you wish to focus on in counselling. As the relationship between client and counsellor is fundamental, this initial consultation helps both parties to see whether they can work together going forward.
