Nurse Emma Eveleigh, who works in Plymouth and has been a client of the counselling service, said a closure “would be a massive loss”.<\/p>\n
Eveleigh said she suffered from severe burnout with anxiety and depression in 2018.<\/p>\n
With no waiting list, charge or time limit, she said Haye Mill had been the perfect place for her to get help.<\/p>\n
She added it took about 18 months but she was able to go back to a new job at the hospital, adding Haye Mill had “been there to support me throughout”.<\/p>\n
Volunteer counsellor Catherine Tomlinson said she “loves where it is” and that “as soon as you turn in the drive, you feel the peace”.<\/p>\n
Tomlinson said she felt “really desolate” at the prospect of the service ending.<\/p>\n
“If every one of our clients gave \u00a31 over the past 45 years, we’d have quite a lot already.”<\/p>\n
