Tor Support Services
Who we are
Description
Now in our 12th year of operation, Tor Support provides free, confidential counselling and psychotherapy services to young people (aged from 5 - 25) who are in crisis and who live in and around Okehampton, Devon. Young people can self-refer to us or can be referred through school, health (GPs), social care or their parents. Our clients face issues including emotional/psychological distress, anxiety, depression, self-harming, behavioural issues, relationship problems, mental health conditions, substance misuse and suicidal ideation. Our team of counsellors, including 7 volunteers, are currently seeing at least 35 young people each week. Over a typical year we deliver well over 1000 counselling sessions and support some 130 young people. Each client is offered up to 8 free counselling sessions, with some requiring fewer and a few needing slightly longer-term support. The early intervention we can offer is crucial to improving the life chances of young people who are struggling to cope.
