NEW! Online Counselling Service at ARCH.

We’re going digital!

ARCH North East are very excited to now be able to offer our specialist counselling service online!

Like our regular sessions, online sessions are carried out face-to-face with one of our specially trained counsellors, using a secure video conferencing platform.

 Using a simple online booking system this is a new addition to our service and opens up support for people who may not otherwise be able to engage.

Following an assessment for suitability, sessions will be arranged around your availability and delivered by a fully trained counsellor.  All we ask is that you have access to a computer or similar device which includes a camera, microphone, speakers and internet connection.

If you are interested in this service, you can refer using our online referral form or by contacting our referrals team by phone on (01642) 822331.
