Counselling and Support

For those looking for support or general advice on counselling. Click on the link below.
The Councilling Directory is a support network that enables those in distress to find
a councilor close to them or appropriate for their needs.

The service is free, confidential and hopefully will encourage those who feel distressed to
seek help.

The website also contains a number of sections on emotional disorders (see Types of Distress section)
It also provides some useful statistics.
Every councillor on the site who has submitted their profile has either sent a copy of their qualifications and insurance cover to the The Counselling Directory or is a registered with a professional body on-line with recognised codes of practice. This way the Councelling Directory website isassured of each counsellors professionalism.

Age Concern Exmouth accepts no liability with regard to the Cancelling Directory website.

The work of a typical Age Concern

Click on the link below to view a moving yet engaging video entitled "Once We Were Young"

In a few moments the graphic content of this video will show you what your local Age Concern is all about. It provides an insight to the how Age concern carries out it's work.

The original video was commissioned by Tesco (Every little helps!) for Age Concern England (now defunct) when Age Concern was Tesco's Charity of the Year. Whilst the video itself is quite old the content is still relevant today. It depicts what many older people face in their day to day lives.

Devon Local Involvement Network

The Princess Royal Trust for Carers

There are six million people in the UK looking after a loved-one who is sick, disabled, suffering from a mental health problem or an addiction - some as young as five years old. What carers have in common is the selflessness to put their family member needs before their own, but they face an on-going life of isolation, ill-health and poverty.
The Princess Royal Trust for Carers was created on the initiative of Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal in 1991. At that time people caring at home for family members or friends with disabilities and chronic illnesses were scarcely recognised as requiring support.
