PEOPLE in Okehampton struggling with their mental and emotional well-being and looking for therapeutic support can attend Hope Counselling in Okehampton.

Counsellor Antonia Jacobson said: ‘We all know there is more to healthy living than just taking care of our bodies. Our emotions and minds are just as important to our wellbeing. However, if our bodies are unwell we have no problem going to the doctor, but when our mental wellbeing is in need of help, we often find it challenging.

‘Regardless of your background or financial status, all are welcome, because all need hope. Many of us try to keep our suffering hidden, even doubting that what we are feeling is real. We pretend to be okay, fighting to forget and ignore.

‘However, the only way to get past our difficulties is often by passing through them.

‘Many have found it helpful to work through these issues with someone with professional distance and training to address depression, anxiety, loss and more. This all can seem scary and challenging, but is absolutely worth it in the end.’
