NW Counselling Hub
NW Counselling Hub (NWCH) was founded on 1st April 2017 by Naomi Watkins and Alex Parkin. As co-founders, we felt that there were gaps in the local community for supporting people’s mental health and wellbeing. We decided to create the Counselling Hub to aim to fill these gaps. We provide a central hub to support children, young people, adults, families and couples within Lincolnshire.
Our work in suicide prevention
We provide a counselling service where our counsellors are ASIST trained. We complete assessments and support clients when they have suicidal ideation or intention.
We have a low waiting list and can get funding for clients to see a trained and experienced counsellor quickly.
Our current priorities
We plan to support those affected by suicide by providing a high quality counselling and support service to all those affected by suicide in Lincolnshire.
Our current challenges
The challenges are lack of resources, funding and multi-agency working.
