SearchLight Counselling and Therapy is a charitable company limited by guarantee, registered in England (Company No. 3909277; Charity No. 1079270). Based in Surrey, we provide professional face-to-face counselling from our established premises, alongside accessible online sessions available more widely. Our purpose is to support those experiencing disadvantage due to youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other challenging circumstances. We are equally committed to advancing research connected to these aims and sharing our findings for public benefit. Through counselling, psycho-education and tailored support, we work collaboratively with adults, children, young people, couples and families to strengthen emotional, sexual and overall wellbeing, while promoting improved mental and physical health.
We recognise that relationship breakdown and emotional distress can have profound consequences for individuals and their families. Our service offers compassionate, structured assistance to help people navigate such difficulties constructively. Beyond direct therapeutic support, our work contributes to reducing stress-related absence from employment, addressing domestic abuse, preventing substance misuse and child abuse, and enhancing childrens school attendance and performance. By helping to prevent disruptive and anti-social behaviour, we also alleviate demand on vital public services, including the Police, NHS and Social Services. We welcome enquiries and appointment requests during our stated opening hours, with on-site parking available for visitors.

Relationship Counselling
Report
We support couples and individuals in strengthening their relationships by working through challenges together. While many difficulties can be resolved independently, there are times when professional guidance becomes essential to move forward constructively. Our counsellors offer a confidential, caring and non-judgemental setting in which concerns can be explored openly. Following an initial conversation, we arrange a first appointment at a convenient time, either in person or online, and agree the next steps collaboratively.
