The Daffodil Project will enable NW Counselling Hub to plug a huge gap that leaves vulnerable children & young people unable to access counselling services, often when they hit crisis point after being rejected by other services, or after being told to wait several months for counselling. Should NWCH win AVIVA funds, we will provide free, rapid access counselling for 4 – 25 year olds. PLEASE VOTE using this link
With the funding, NWCH would deliver THE DAFFODIL PROJECT (TDP) to plug a recognised gap in support for 60 children & young people (C&YP) aged 4 – 25 years who have:
* Fallen outside of parameters set by other services to gain access to counselling
* Been told to wait 3+ months for counselling from other services
* Been rejected by other services
* Never previously accessed counselling but found NWCH through our marketing & social media
C&YP who ‘fall through the gap’ can be in desperate need of rapid access counselling, so within 1 – 2 weeks of being referred to NWCH, we will arrange one-to-one therapy with specialist counsellors to address their mental health needs. This can include help with: suicidal ideation, self-harm, trauma from sexual and emotional abuse, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, low self-esteem due to bullying and so forth.
Since April 2017, NWCH has delivered 2147 one-to-one sessions to C&YP aged 4-18, and 3324 to adults. NWCH’s 17 counsellors are BACP members (www.bacp.co.uk), DBS checked, safeguarding trained. 14 specialise in counselling C&YP, as do Toby & Ellie our pet therapy dogs!
NWCH aims to enable CY&P to meet their full potential by preventing further deterioration in their mental health which can occur when waiting months to access therapy whilst undergoing a crisis, or when issues are not dealt with at all.
TDP would enable NWCH to welcome 60 CY&P for approximately 12 sessions each. The project’s scope will enable NWCH to address the wide ranging issues that C&YP bring, and its upper age limit of 25 will enable NWCH to support students referred by Universities and local colleges.

My son is opening up to Wayne about all aspects of losing his Dad - happy memories and the painful truth that he won’t be coming back. Wayne has taught him to acknowledge the pain but also remember the many happy times. The counselling he has had with Wayne has been invaluable.

Coming in for couples counselling, we were both nervous about how the session would work having not done anything like this before.
He listened to each of us and made it feel very light-hearted and easy. We were able to share our feelings and thoughts and Ian gently guided us to explain our views to help us see each other’s views and gave us things to think about for next week.

Personally, I was a very sceptical individual and initially attended as a good Will gesture to my family who had encouraged me to do so……. that being said I found myself to be able to talk to (let’s be honest, a stranger) about my life and its difficulties in an open and comfortable fashion……. don’t get me wrong I’m no soft touch! But I found it genuinely comforting to be able to do so! …. it makes me ask and look for answers from myself ….. rather than someone with a title telling me what’s wrong……,

The match of counsellor has meant my husband looks forward to his sessions & already is feeling happier & we as a family are seeing a difference. It is detail like this that makes asking for help via the NW Counselling Hub stand out – plus the reassurance all counsellors are qualified.
We cannot recommend the NW Counselling Hub enough and thank them for all they are doing for our family.

“We want to support our team when ‘life happens’. We asked NWCH to be our ‘go to’ support service for counselling and emotional support to help members of our team, if they need it, get them through some difficult personal issues such as bereavement and anxiety. The team at the hub are incredibly supportive and have provided a lifeline to our team”
