Counselling Services

Here are a few contact details of organisations that may be helpful for counselling regarding amputation, rehabilitation and coming to terms with life as an amputee. As always, we know this is just a small proportion of the many potentially valuable organisations out there and we’d be very grateful for any updates or suggestions. We’re always trying to keep the information we offer up to date and to add to it where possible.

(Please note that, as with any of the services we mention, we do not personally endorse them, nor can we be held responsible for any outcome should you contact them.)
