Why Beacon?

We are an award winning charity that has been dedicated to improving the mental health and emotional resilience of our community for 40 years.
Our practitioners are all qualified and experienced. But they work at Beacon because they share Beacon’s values; because they care about you; and because they go out of their way to make you welcome and to hear your voice.

Why Beacon?

Beacon is a leading provider of psychological therapies in Greater Manchester and beyond. The extensive range of skills and experience offered by our pool of qualified paid and volunteer counsellors mean we help people address a broad spectrum of harmful behaviours and underlying mental or emotional health issues. Our team responds to a wide range of issues, supporting people in a way that suits them – we don’t believe in choosing a quick fix over a lasting change and like to get to the root of a problem.

Michael's Story

"My first experience of Beacon Counselling was in 2019. I had been referred to Beacon through my GP. Although I wasn’t sceptical about how counselling could help me, I thought that, as an older man whose trauma had happened 30 years previously, perhaps I had missed the boat"...

I would tell friends to go if they need to as everything is done in steps in a calm environment. It also helps people to learn more about themselves and accept and deal with certain situations"
Farrah, Children services
I was consulted throughout the counselling process to check which strategies were working and reflected on goals frequently. This was so useful. Counselling has made a huge difference in my life."
Sam, Adult Services
As the needs of our students changed, and challenges were raised to meet these needs, Beacon stepped up to adapt the provision in order to allow those students to get the support they needed"
