How Counselling Can Help: Mental Health Resources in Paignton & Torquay

Mental health affects every part of our lives—our work, relationships, energy, and overall wellbeing. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling overwhelmed, counselling offers a safe, structured way to make sense of what you’re going through and begin to feel more in control.

At The Devon Clinic, based in Paignton and serving the wider Torbay area, we provide a wide range of counselling and therapy services that aim to support people of all ages and backgrounds. We understand that no two people are the same, which is why our team includes professionals trained in different therapeutic approaches—from person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to clinical hypnotherapy and holistic treatments.

What Counselling Can Help With

Many people come to us for support with:

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Low mood and depression

  • Grief, loss and bereavement

  • Relationship or family issues

  • Domestic abuse and trauma

  • Stress linked to work, school or life changes

  • PTSD and complex emotional responses

You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from talking to someone. In fact, seeking help early can prevent more serious problems later on.

A Local, Affordable Option for Mental Health Support

One of our core aims at The Devon Clinic is to make therapy accessible. We offer both private and low-cost counselling sessions—ensuring that help is available regardless of financial circumstances. Thanks to ongoing fundraising, donations, and community support, we are also able to offer subsidised services for those most in need.

Our team of therapists and practitioners work with compassion and discretion, creating a calm, welcoming space for clients to explore their thoughts without judgement.

More Than Just Counselling

Alongside traditional talking therapies, we also offer a range of complementary treatments such as acupuncture, massage, Reiki and reflexology—each designed to support physical and emotional balance. These services can be helpful alongside counselling or as stand-alone treatments for those looking to manage stress and wellbeing naturally.

Support When You Need It

Based on Hyde Road in Paignton, The Devon Clinic is easy to reach by public transport and welcomes clients from across Torquay, Brixham, Newton Abbot and the surrounding area.

Whether you’re seeking therapy for the first time or looking for further support, we’re here to help.
