We’re Moving Office

From Monday 27th July to Friday 7th August, our team will be relocating to our new premises.

During this time, we will be operating at a reduced capacity and are unfortunately unable to accept any new referrals.

If you are an existing client, your counsellor will be in touch directly if your appointment is affected.

If you are looking for support, we encourage you to get in touch after 7th August, when we will be delighted to welcome new referrals again.

If you or someone you know needs urgent support during this time, please don’t wait. Contact your GP, call NHS 24 on 111, or in an emergency call 999.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we settle into our new home. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

for young people aged 11-26

About S.M.I.L.E. Counselling

S.M.I.L.E. Counselling is a West Lothian-based charity dedicated to improving the mental health and emotional wellbeing of young people aged 11–26. As the largest provider of school-based counselling in the region, we offer early intervention support across West Lothian and beyond, working both in schools and from our dedicated Hub in Livingston. The Hub features six counselling rooms, including a sensory space designed specifically for neurodiverse young people. 

Since launching in 2015, we’ve delivered over 20,000 counselling sessions and supported more than 3,500 young people through challenges such as anxiety, low mood, trauma, self-harm and bereavement. Our team of counsellors are committed to creating safe, inclusive spaces where young people feel listened to, supported, and empowered to move forward in their lives.
