Emotional Support Service

An Emotional Wellbeing and Counselling service for people with Sight Loss in Devon and Torbay.

Emotional Support Call - An informal chat about how you are feeling

This service provides an opportunity for you to talk in confidence to one of our Team, about how you are feeling, and ways to keep well over the coming months. Information and guidance to help support you will be given.

You will also be able to discuss options for further support or counselling to those who would find it helpful.

Counselling

We currently have a waiting list for counselling and until the list has reduced, we cannot take anymore referrals.

Additional Counselling agencies are:

The Macular Society: 0300 3030 111

RNIB: 0303 1239 999

If you need formal counselling support we are delighted to be able to offer a number of free one-hour counselling sessions. These sessions may be over the phone, or using Zoom or be in person if this is deemed necessary.

Sessions are being delivered, by a number of local counsellors who have received training and who are accredited with the RNIB.

For more information about these services please contact: our Helpline 01392 876 666.

If you are a professional wanting to refer a client into this service, please note that our counselling service is closed to new referrals.
