Services Offered at Horizon Counselling in Plymouth
At Horizon Counselling, we understand that mental health challenges can manifest in many ways. That’s why we offer a variety of services to address the specific needs of our clients:
- Anger Management
Anger is a natural emotion, but when it becomes overwhelming or destructive, it can lead to significant issues in relationships, work, and overall quality of life. Our anger management counselling helps clients explore the root causes of their anger, develop healthier ways to express it, and learn techniques to manage their emotions effectively. - Anxiety Counselling
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health issues, affecting millions of people worldwide. At Horizon Counselling, we provide support for various forms of anxiety, including generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, and panic disorders. Our counsellors work with clients to identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and reduce the impact of anxiety on daily life. - Bereavement Counselling
Losing a loved one is one of the most challenging experiences a person can face. Our bereavement counselling offers a compassionate space for clients to process their grief, work through their emotions, and find a path forward. We understand that grief is a deeply personal experience, and our counsellors are here to support you every step of the way. - Confidence Building
Low self-confidence can hinder personal and professional growth. Our confidence-building sessions are designed to help clients develop a stronger sense of self-worth, set and achieve goals, and cultivate a more positive self-image. Through guided exercises and personalised support, clients can build the confidence they need to succeed. - Depression Counselling
Depression can be a debilitating condition that affects every aspect of life. At Horizon Counselling, we provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore the underlying causes of their depression, develop coping mechanisms, and work towards recovery. Our counsellors are experienced in helping clients navigate the complexities of depression, offering hope and healing. - Health Anxiety Support
Health anxiety, also known as hypochondria, can cause individuals to become excessively worried about their health, often leading to unnecessary stress and anxiety. Our health anxiety support services help clients manage these fears, focus on the present, and reduce the impact of health-related anxieties on their lives. - Relationship Counselling
Relationships can be a source of joy, but they can also be challenging. Whether you’re dealing with communication issues, trust problems, or other relationship difficulties, our relationship counselling services provide a supportive space for couples and individuals to work through their concerns. Our goal is to help clients build stronger, healthier relationships based on mutual respect and understanding. - Stress Management
Stress is a common issue that can have serious effects on both mental and physical health. Our stress management counselling helps clients identify the sources of their stress, develop effective coping strategies, and learn how to manage stress in a healthy way. Whether you’re dealing with work-related stress, family pressures, or other stressors, we’re here to help. - Young People’s Counselling
The challenges faced by young people today are unique and complex. At Horizon Counselling, we offer specialised counselling services for children and adolescents, addressing issues such as bullying, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. Our counsellors work closely with young clients and their families to provide the support they need to thrive.

Changing the Conversation on Men’s Mental Health
Our founder and director, Alan Stokes, is a well-known mental health champion in Plymouth and the wider area. Alan’s dedication to improving mental health awareness and support is reflected in his work with Horizon Counselling and beyond. He is currently organising a men’s mental health event aimed at changing the conversation around men’s mental health and promoting a more open, supportive perspective. This event will provide a platform for men to share their experiences, learn from each other, and access the resources they need to improve their mental health.
In addition to his work with Horizon Counselling, Alan also offers mental health workshops for businesses. These workshops cover a range of topics, including stress management, resilience training, and mindfulness, and are designed to help employees improve their mental well-being. Notable businesses that have benefited from Alan’s expertise include Porteous Groundworks and Plymouth City Council. By bringing mental health support directly into the workplace, Alan helps companies create healthier, more productive environments for their employees.
“I was having a bit of a tough time with my anxieties recently and felt like I needed help. I found Ilze from Horizon and she’s made me realise so many things. I felt like I could completely open up with her and she really listened to my struggles. Ilze provided loads of coping strategies and guided me on the steps to get to where I am now. I’m so pleased I chose Ilze and after 4 sessions, it’s completely changed the way I think and treat my mental health.” – Jemma
