Telephone Counselling Service

We all cope with a traumatic event in different ways, but coming to terms and adjusting to the many challenges of living with spinal cord injury (SCI) can be especially difficult, not only for the injured person but also for their close family and friends.

Sometimes it helps to talk to someone, especially during times when you might be feeling isolated, are unable to get out and about, have relationship or financial difficulties, are in pain or have other issues that you don’t feel able to talk through with your family.

Help is available through SIA’s Telephone Counselling service, which gives you the chance to talk in complete confidence, free of charge, to a suitably qualified professional. You may find one call is all you need, but you can also talk on a regular basis if necessary.

You can book a session with the Telephone Counselling service by calling our Advice Line on 0800 980 0501, who will take your name and number and arrange for you to be contacted as soon as possible in order to agree a suitable date and time to begin counselling. Alternatively, you can supply your details by completing the online booking form. There is also the opportunity for confidential face to face counselling sessions for those who are able to travel to SIA House in Milton Keynes.
