Someone Cares

SomeOne Cares is a counselling service for survivors of physical, emotional and sexual abuse. We are a not-for-profit organisation working throughout the North East of England. Throughout the years we have tried to provide a service that recognises that abuse is a difficult area of care, one which cannot be hurried as the issues involved are so complex and usually very difficult for the client to work with. Often we are working with clients who have been neglected by the care system or with people who have little faith in the statutory services.

SomeOne Cares are a counselling organisation who work with anyone regardless of their gender who are a survivor or a supporter (from 11 years plus), whose live’s have been negatively affected by experiencing or witnessing any type of abuse including domestic violence and neglect.  We specialise in childhood sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault. We understand that counselling can be scary and for this reason we try to make your time with us as comfortable as possible.

We understand engaging in counselling can bring anxieties and worries. For this reason we try to make your time with us as comfortable as possible working at a pace that suites you.

In 2015 we were fortunate enough to secure 3 years of Big Lottery funding to work specifically with Male survivors of abuse and their supporters, Although we have always worked with men we now have the funding to ensure that male survivors have the support they need.

We treat everyone as an individual and ensure that all our clients are given the respect they deserve. We understand this may be a difficult step for you but we can work together to move towards a more effective life for all involved. If you are a male survivor or are supporting someone who is please do not hesitate to contact us for counselling support.
