Professional Referral Terms

Please read before filling out the referral form:

ARCH Teesside Counselling Service provides therapeutic support for anyone in Middlesbrough, Stockton and Hartlepool who has experienced rape or any form of sexual abuse and is struggling to cope with their feelings and emotions in relation to these experiences. We also offer support to Men and Boys from Redcar and Cleveland. We work in partnership to support the needs of children and young people. We are a victim focused organisation and as such we do not work with anyone who has been accused of convicted of sexual violence.

Therapy can be hard work and extremely challenging, especially in the early days. It is therefore important that you consider the appropriateness of ARCH for the client’s needs before making a referral. For example, we are unable provide emergency crisis support or work with complex or severe mental health issues.

In the best interests of the client, consideration should be given to specialist services for anyone who is struggling with issues relating to substance misuse.

Please note: We reserve the right to refuse referrals with respect to all criteria referred to above. All relevant risk and need information should be sent with the referral, contact 01642 822335 for more information.
