At The Eaves Counselling and Psychology, we believe mental health support shouldn’t begin and end with one-to-one therapy. While counselling and psychological assessments remain at the heart of what we do, our mental health education through community workshops offers a powerful, accessible way to support wellbeing early and proactively.

As a Surrey-based counselling service, we run our mental health workshops at our Farnham practice, allowing us to connect closely with our local community. We also offer therapy services from our practices in Guildford, Godalming, and Haslemere. These workshops share practical tools, reduce stigma and help people feel more confident about their mental health, both inside and beyond the therapy room.

Why Community Mental Health Workshops Matter

 

Many people experience anxiety, stress, low mood, or relationship challenges, but don’t always feel ready for therapy. Public mental health education and community-based workshops help bridge that gap.

They offer:

• Practical coping strategies
• A safe, supportive space to learn and reflect
• Early, preventative mental health support
• Opportunities to connect with others facing similar challenges

Most importantly, these workshops help normalise conversations around mental health, reduce stigma and encourage people across Surrey to seek support sooner.

The Benefits of Attending a Mental Health Workshop

 

Mental health workshops don’t just share information, they create meaningful change. Participants often experience:

• Greater confidence in understanding mental health
• Reduced stigma and isolation
• Stronger community connection
• Practical tools for everyday life
• Support that complements individual therapy

These benefits make workshops a valuable part of preventative mental health care in Surrey.
