Kalmer Counselling: Leading Neuro-Affirming Counselling Service in the North East

At Kalmer Counselling, we pride ourselves on being a leading provider of neuro-affirming counselling services in the North East. Our mission is to offer a compassionate, inclusive, and tailored approach to mental health support, ensuring that every client feels understood, respected, and empowered in their unique neurological identity.

Our Approach

At Kalmer Counselling, we offer a wide range of services tailored to meet the needs of neurodivergent individuals across all age groups, from children to adults. Our team of highly trained and experienced therapists are skilled in neuro-affirming practices and are dedicated to empower neurodivergent individuals by addressing their needs and identifying their strengths. We aim to provide support and adaptations to therapy to affirm neuordivergent identities that are both empathic and effective.

  • Individual Counselling: Our one-on-one sessions provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. We focus on helping clients build self-awareness, self-compassion, and resilience, offering strategies to navigate challenges while affirming their neurodivergent identity.
  • Educational Workshops: We offer workshops designed to educate and empower individuals, educators, professionals and employers about neurodiversity. These workshops aim to promote a better understanding of neurodiversity and provide practical tools for supporting neurodivergent individuals in various settings.
  • Support for Life Transitions: Life transitions, such as starting a new job, moving to a new school, or entering adulthood, can be particularly challenging for neurodivergent individuals. Our counsellors are here to provide support and guidance during these critical times, helping clients to navigate change with confidence and ease.

 

What is Neuro-Affirming Counselling?

Neuro-affirming counselling is a specialised approach that recognises and celebrates neurological diversity, including neurodivergent conditions such as Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and other cognitive differences.
Unlike traditional methods that may focus on "fixing" or "normalising" behaviour, neuro-affirming counselling at Kalmer is centred on acceptance and empowerment. We acknowledge that neurological diversity is a natural and valuable part of the human experience, and our goal is to support individuals in embracing their neurodivergent identities while addressing any challenges they may face.
