We have over thirty years experience of working closely with people and have been directly involved with counselling since 1993. We provide clients with a sensitive and caring service in a relaxed and confidential setting. As a private practice we offer flexibility of appointment times in order to meet individual needs. Wherever possible, we arrange an initial appointment within three days of initial referral.
We provide both short and long-term counselling where appropriate and a number of evening and weekend appointments is available. We are situated in a small village in the beautiful Chew Valley - an area approximately 12 miles south of Bristol towards the Cathedral city of Wells in Somerset.
