To all the carers out there : your role matters, and so do you.

A recent UK report by Carers UK found that 57% of unpaid carers feel overwhelmed often or always. More than one in three report their mental health as “bad” or “very bad”.

If you're caring for someone and find it hard to prioritise your own wellbeing, you are not alone. Counselling Connection Devon offers low-cost counselling support for carers too. It’s ok to ask for help.

☀️ Summer might look like rest and sunshine - but for many carers, it’s anything but restful.

When services pause, routines shift, and responsibilities grow, the pressure on unpaid carers can quietly intensify.

😔 If you’re feeling stretched, exhausted, or like there’s no room for you this summer - you’re not alone.

Our low-cost counselling offers a space just for you. To talk. To breathe. To be listened to, without having to explain it all.

📩 Message us to ask about support. Even one conversation can make a difference.

🧃Taking care of your mental health doesn’t have to be a big deal.

🌱 Small things - done regularly - can help more than you think:

✔️ Listening to music
✔️ Saying no when you’re tired
✔️ Getting outside, even for 10 mins
✔️ Talking to someone who gets it

Summer can be a good time to check in with yourself. If things feel heavy, we’re here. You don’t have to go through it alone.

Instagram makes summer look like nonstop fun. But real life? It can feel messy, boring, lonely, or overwhelming.

💬 You might miss friends, feel stuck at home, or just not be enjoying the break the way you thought you would.

That’s OK.

🧠 Your feelings are valid—even when they don’t “match” the season.

If you’re struggling or need to talk, you’re not alone. We offer friendly, confidential counselling support for young people. Just message us to find out more.
