Beacon Counselling

Who we are

Beacon Counselling is a registered mental health charity in Stockport dedicated to improving mental health and emotional resilience of our community for more than 40 years.

We deliver a whole range of mental health and wellbeing services in schools, community hubs, online and from our base in the heart of Stockport, offered by our dedicated team of qualified paid and volunteer counsellors and wellbeing workers.

We know that everyone and every situation is different and that’s why we provide people with a space to talk, and to be heard.

We know that good mental health can be life changing. We work with people to find the best way forward to live life with resilience and to face life’s challenges with confidence

Our culture and values

Our values shape everything we do.

The extensive range of skills and experience offered by our team, mean we empower people to have good mental health and emotional resilience.
We support more than 3,000 adults, young people and children every year to improve their mental health and wellbeing through counselling, therapy, wellbeing services, group support and targeted projects.
We are an organisational member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and we adhere to their ethical and clinical guidelines, which means people can trust us to do the best we can for them, in a safe and confidential environment.
