Counselling
Skylight Counselling is a safe and confidential collaboration between qualified counsellors and carers, aimed at promoting mental health and wellbeing, enhancing self-understanding, and resolving identified concerns.
Skylight offers short-term counselling services for carers facing challenges such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and loss due to their caring role.
