Our Professional Counselling Team

Our counsellors are not on 24 hour call out! it is normal for them not to invite you to contact them outside of each session, this should not be misinterpreted as rejection.  Such boundaries are necessary for both you and the counsellor so that the benefit of each session is maximised. If however you are in a desperate situation and need to make an extra appointment, we would encourage you to call the practice on 01787 829141 between the hours of 9am and 6pm.

Finding the right therapist can help to make all the difference to you in your life right now and in your future.

We don't always hit it off with everyone we meet, and we don't always develop close relationships with someone overnight- such relationships take time to develop and trust, the same is true when looking for a counsellor.
