North East Counselling Services is a mental health support organisation whose philosophy is to get people the right help as quickly as possible and to make it as affordable as possible.

Since its foundation, North East Counselling Services has provided counselling and therapy to over 10,000 clients in and around Gateshead and South Tyneside. It has worked to help with a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety and stress related disorders. Clients have included carers, ex-service personnel and other hard to reach groups such as children and young people.
