Professional Mental Health Counselling & Emotional Wellbeing Support Across Hartlepool & Teesside
A Safe Space to Talk, Be Heard and Feel Supported
LilyAnne’s Wellbeing provides free mental health counselling and emotional wellbeing support for adults across Hartlepool and Teesside. We offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where people can access support for anxiety, stress, low mood, loneliness, emotional overwhelm and other life challenges. We aim to respond to referrals within 24 working hours and, where appropriate, offer first appointments within 7 working days.
At LilyAnne’s Wellbeing, we understand that life can become overwhelming. Mental health difficulties, loneliness, stress, trauma, grief, emotional exhaustion and major life changes can affect anyone, often leaving people feeling isolated or unsure where to turn.
Our counselling and listening support service is designed to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can talk openly about your experiences with someone who will listen without judgement and support you at your own pace. Whether you are experiencing poor mental health, struggling with loneliness, navigating the challenges associated with Autism or ADHD, or simply need someone to talk to, we are here to help.
As a community-based mental health counselling and wellbeing charity, we believe support should be accessible, compassionate and responsive. Our aim is not only to improve mental health and emotional wellbeing, but also to help people feel understood, connected and supported within their community.

What Is Counselling?
Counselling provides an opportunity to talk openly about the challenges you may be facing in a safe, supportive and confidential environment.
Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. Talking to someone outside of family, friends or work can help you better understand your thoughts, feelings and experiences while exploring ways to improve your wellbeing.
Counselling is not about being told what to do. It is about working together to help you better understand yourself and move forward at your own pace.
