Headway provides free, confidential professional counselling in a supportive environment either in a Headway centre or in the home for those with acquired brain injury and also for their families and carers.

Headway provides support to families and carers as well as information and guidance through the minefield of legal and medical jargon and use of other available services.
- Raising Awareness
Headway works to raise awareness of brain injury and its effects. We are able to come along to meetings and events to talk about this and our work locally. If you would like us to come along to your meetings please contact us.
- Outreach and community support
There are many further clients who we maintain contact with and provide counselling, home and hospital visits and we also support their families and carers – these services are all provided free to the client and are open to anyone who contacts us.
