Acorns
We provide a counselling service for children and young people aged 4 - 18 who have been impacted by domestic abuse but who are currently safe and stable. We provide a safe, non-judgmental and nurturing space for children throughout Northumberland to express and process difficult experiences and emotions through play and/or talking therapy.
We offer 8 - 10 sessions per child and our service is suitable for those with mild to moderate difficulties, who are not currently receiving therapeutic support elsewhere. Please note we do have a waiting list.
