We offer free therapeutic counselling to all those over 18 years of age wishing to receive individual counselling support. We can see you in-person at our premises in Porthcawl or as a remote service via phone or on-line platforms such as Zoom or Teams. All counselling from our Porthcawl service is free and confidential, although we do rely upon donations from the community to continue to provide this support.
We usually offer up to 10 weekly sessions although this may be reviewed if clinically appropriate to your needs. We offer a range of psychotherapies, including CBT, person-centred and integrated. We believe in empowering people often overlooked by society, transforming their lives through self-understanding and progression.
Your counsellor will work with you as an individual to meet your needs and provide a safe space where you can talk about your problems and feelings. Everything you say during a counselling session will remain confidential.
Counselling appointments are scheduled between 10am and 5pm, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and from 10am to 8pm on Monday and Thursday.
Why have Therapeutic Counselling?
Therapeutic Counselling can offer many benefits, including a safe space to express feelings, gaining insight into personal challenges, developing coping strategies, improving communication skills, enhancing self-esteem and confidence and promoting overall emotional well-being.
It can also help manage stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health needs. Therapy can also support personal development, helping with reaching your potential and pursue life goals.
Our counsellors understand the issues people may experience, and the strains it can take on an individual and their family.

Testimonials
What some of our counselling clients have said about the support that they received from Tŷ Elis.
I am feeling a lot better having been able to have counselling. I cannot thank my counsellor enough for being there for me, she is an excellent counsellor and I would recommend her to anyone. I never thought I would feel so different having counselling.
This service has been a lifeline for me and I cannot rate it highly enough. My counsellor has been very welcoming and put me at ease from our first session. I have had the space and support that I desperately needed so thank you very much I am so very grateful.
Fantastic Service!!
It has been wonderful with no barriers. Easy to access. You put an envelope around me and really cared. You made me think and feel more positively about myself and life in general. I had not accessed counselling before and you were so understanding. A very good experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tŷ Elis.
I am so pleased in the change of my wellbeing and positive attitude, I cannot believe the difference in myself and I know how this positive attitude is going to reflect on my family’s life. I can only say thank you.
The service and support given to me during these sessions have been incredible and have made a huge change to my outlook for the future.
