Free Counselling Service for People with Sight Loss

  • Counselling can help you to come to a clearer understanding of your own feelings and can help you adjust to the emotional impact of your sight loss. It’s a time to concentrate on yourself and talk things over with someone who will understand your perspective
  • At your first appointment you will meet one to one with an experienced counsellor, who understands the issues that sight loss brings, to talk about your personal situation and decide whether counselling will be helpful for you
  • You can refer yourself to the service or ask a family member or healthcare professional to refer you
  • The service which is based at Walthew House in Stockport is open to anyone in the region
  • The service is free of charge
  • Walthew House is an independent local charity providing practical and emotional support to people with a sight or hearing loss.
