At Kalmer Counselling, we believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate, professional psychological support.
Working in partnership with Gateshead Central South Primary Care Network (PCN), we provide structured psychological support programmes for adults and children registered with participating GP practices.
Our programmes bring together talking therapy, therapeutic coaching techniques and practical coping strategies to help individuals better understand their experiences, manage emotional difficulties and develop skills that support their everyday wellbeing.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it isn't always easy to understand why we're feeling or responding in certain ways.
Our psychological support programmes can help with:
Our therapists work collaboratively with each individual, recognising that everyone experiences difficulties differently.
Our adult programme provides a structured, supportive approach to understanding and managing emotional difficulties.
Through a combination of talking therapy, therapeutic coaching and practical psychological strategies, you will work alongside your therapist to explore your experiences, develop greater awareness of your emotional needs and build confidence in managing life's challenges.
The programme focuses on helping you develop greater insight, recognise patterns that may be affecting your wellbeing and learn practical skills that can make a difference in everyday life.
Towards the end of the programme, you will develop a personalised Future Wellbeing Plan, bringing together the skills, knowledge and strategies you have found most helpful.
Our aim is for you to leave the programme feeling more equipped to understand your experiences and support your emotional wellbeing beyond therapy.
Children don't always have the words to explain how they're feeling.
Our children's programme combines creative therapeutic approaches, play-based activities and age-appropriate therapeutic coaching techniques to help children explore their emotions, understand their experiences and develop practical skills to manage everyday challenges.
The programme supports children to:
We recognise the important role parents and carers play in supporting children's emotional wellbeing.
Our programme includes parent and carer involvement, helping families better understand their child's emotional needs and support the skills developed during therapy at home.
Our approach is child-centred, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming, ensuring support is adapted to each child's developmental and individual needs.
Our programmes are designed to provide more than a space to talk.
By combining psychological support with therapeutic coaching techniques, we help adults and children turn understanding into practical skills they can use in everyday life.
Understand – Make sense of feelings, experiences and difficulties.
Recognise – Develop awareness of emotions, individual needs and responses.
Develop – Build practical coping strategies and emotional regulation skills.
Grow – Strengthen confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing.
Move Forward – Take the skills and knowledge developed through therapy into everyday life.
Our psychological support programmes are available to eligible adults and children registered with participating GP practices within Gateshead Central South PCN. Support is offered following a referral and suitability assessment to help ensure the programme meets the individual's needs.
