About Sage Counselling CIO

Sage Counselling provides a counselling service for adults with limited mobility. Limited mobility can be due to age, stroke or disablement and mental health issues such as agoraphobia or severe depression which makes accessing other counselling services difficult or impossible. We also see carers who would need to find alternative care while attending counselling away from home.
A counsellor will visit clients within their own home, hospital, care home or hospice. Sessions can be in person or remotely via telephone or online platform i.e. Zoom.
