Westmeria Counselling Services

We were established in 2003 to help people in crisis, or just in need of support, with an emphasis on depression.

There are times when we all need a little help…. We are primarily a voluntary organisation, serving the local community. We were established in 2003 to help people in crisis, or just in need of support, with a particular emphasis on those suffering from depression. It is our aim to reverse the trend of reliance on anti-depressants. Our professional, qualified counsellors offer counselling on a donation basis, helping to make such a vital service both affordable and accessible. Each session lasts for 50 minutes and there is an upper limit of 24 sessions. We also offer mental health support in the work-place, by offering workshops and employee counselling to companies.

What a truly inspiring day we had at the Evolution of Finance: Women in Business event yesterday! 🌟

It was brilliant to have been part of such a powerful gathering- listening to the stories of so many incredible women in finance, hearing how they’ve navigated career challenges, broken through ceilings, and prioritised mental well-being along the way.

From discussions on leadership, resilience and mental health in high-stakes environments, to the shared wisdom of those who’ve carved out their own path, there was an energy in the room that reminded us why our work matters. Because beyond spreadsheets and strategy, real strength lies in connection, self-care and community.

A huge thank-you to the organisers 1230 The Women's Company and to every speaker who shared their journey so openly. We’re inspired, encouraged and motivated to keep supporting women’s mental health in business, today and every day 💜

'Parallel Spaces - Exploring the Synergy Between Counselling & Interior Design’

Sometimes, healing isn’t just about what happens inside us - it’s also about the spaces we inhabit. In our latest blog, Isabelle H. explores how the worlds of counselling and interior design intertwine:

* How a shift in your external environment can influence inner wellbeing

* The parallels between creating a safe physical space and cultivating psychological safety
* Tips on how subtle design changes can support emotional clarity

Whether you’re curious about the connection between space and psyche, or simply looking for gentle inspiration, this piece offers fresh insight and new perspective.

🌍 World Mental Health Day 2025 🌍

This years theme: "Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies"

Today is World Mental Health Day, this years theme set by the World Federation for Mental Health, shines a light on a vital truth, everyone deserves access to mental health support, no matter the circumstances.
From global crises like natural disasters and conflicts, to deeply personal emergencies such as grief, burnout, or illness - the impact on mental health can be profound. Yet, too often, access to the right care remains out of reach.

At Westmeria Counselling Services, we believe that mental health support should never be a privilege - it’s a necessity.
�We’re here to ensure that, even in life’s most challenging moments, no one has to face them alone.
Let’s work together to bridge the care gap, raise awareness, and make mental health services accessible to all - in times of catastrophe, and in the quiet crises of everyday life. 💚

✨ Sunday Self-Care Reminder ✨
�Self-care isn’t always bubble baths and candles - sometimes it’s setting boundaries, cleaning your space, or saying “no” without guilt.

Today, take a moment to do one small thing that brings you peace, even if it’s just sitting in stillness and breathing deeply.

What’s one form of real self-care you’re practicing this week? 💚
