Counselling & Psychotherapy Near Sunderland
Compassionate, Local Support for Your Mental Health in Sunderland and Surrounding Areas

Counselling for Sunderland
Although my practice is based in Lanchester, County Durham, many clients choose to travel from Sunderland for counselling and therapy. I regularly support people from Sunderland and the wider Tyne and Wear area who are seeking professional, confidential help with stress, anxiety, relationships, and other challenges.
Lanchester is within easy reach of Sunderland by car or public transport, making it a convenient option if you’re looking for counselling outside the city. Some clients also prefer travelling a little further for therapy, as it offers privacy and a change of environment away from day-to-day routines.
Whether you’re based in Sunderland itself, Washington, or nearby areas, I’m here to provide a supportive space where you can work through difficulties and move towards lasting wellbeing.
