Counselling
Axis Counselling have been providing specialist counselling & support to people affected by abuse for 30 years.
We will provide a safe, secure and confidential space where you will be listened to and supported in a respectful, empathic and non-judgemental way.
We understand how difficult it can be taking that first step and asking for help. Axis counsellors will work with you on a one-to-one basis tailoring our support to meet your needs, helping you to understand more about your own situation, how and why this is impacting on your life, and give you the tools to be better able to cope and recover.
Accessing counselling support
You are able to self-refer into our services by telephone of email:
Telford: 01952 278000
Shropshire: 01743 357777
Email: counselling@axiscounselling.org.uk
Please note: if you are aged 5-17 please ask a parent or guardian to make the referral on your behalf
You are also able to ask a professional such as a GP / Support Worker to refer you to Axis Counselling. Referrals from other agencies must be made by letter / email and the referrer must have your permission to make the referral.
When we receive a referral or a self-referral, Axis Counselling Support staff will contact you to arrange an Initial Assessment.
Part of our eligibility criteria for trauma focused counselling is to consider the impact of potential stress in processing trauma memories where you may be undergoing other significant or difficult life experiences. Where this has been assessed, and with your agreement, we may offer alternative help to better support you or refer and/or signpost you to other sources of support to address your wider needs.
Where we cannot presently offer trauma focused counselling, you are invited to re-refer in the future.
