The Windmill Centre
Windmill Counselling Service
Here at the Windmill Centre we are proud to offer talking therapy through our Windmill Counselling Project for Adults.​
​
We are lucky to be the home to Trainee counsellors, working their 100 hour placement who are providing counselling services FREE of charge and are available to meet on a 1 to 1 basis for a minimum of 6 weekly sessions. Anyone in need of this service can refer in. Unfortunately there are some limitations on who they can see.
​
​
​​
Students are not ready to support clients:
​
-
With a complex diagnosed Mental Health condition
-
Going through legal proceedings
-
At risk of self harm or suicide
-
Addictions to drugs or alcohol
-
At risk from domestic violence
Our counselling rooms offer people a comfortable space to engage on a 1 to 1 basis with their counsellor, and hopefully feel more relaxed during their sessions. Our counsellors are trained and work using talking therapies, art and creative therapies, and can also introduce you to mindfulness.
​
Please note that we ask clients to only refer into this service if they can commit to weekly sessions with their counsellor. We understand that life can throw curve balls without a moments notice but we ask, where possible to inform your counsellor as soon as possible if you are unable to attend a session. If we have not heard from you, we will contact you to make sure everything is ok.
​
We have full disabled access throughout the building and we have tea and coffee facilities available on request. So, if you or someone you know is waiting for or in need of counselling, and they live in Torquay, then get in touch. Please note we do have long waiting times.
