Adjusting to changes in your vision, or living with sight loss, can be a difficult and emotional experience. Many people feel anxious, uncertain, overwhelmed, or isolated as they adapt to these changes. We also understand that people living with sight loss can sometimes face additional challenges in their personal lives and relationships. If you are experiencing difficulties, please remember that you are not alone and support is available.Contact Ears for Eyes
Herts Vision Loss provides emotional support for blind and partially sighted people through our counselling service, Ears For Eyes.
Who the service is for?
The Ears For Eyes counselling service is available to people living in the Hertfordshire area who have been recently diagnosed with a sight condition or who are living with sight loss.
The service is also open to carers, family members, and relatives who support someone with sight loss.How counselling can help.
Counselling provides a safe, confidential, and supportive space where you can talk with a trained professional about your thoughts and feelings.
During counselling, you can explore your experiences at your own pace. This may help you understand and process difficult emotions, adjust to the changes that sight loss can bring, and find ways to cope with uncertainty or loss. Many people find that counselling helps them rebuild confidence and feel less alone in what they are going through.Sessions and cost.
