Why we are here...

Gemma and I know each other through our studies a few years ago. We became friends but continued our studies at different institutions. However, both living in the area, we kept in touch for coffee's and lunch etc, and always talked about opening our own practice one day. Whilst the Ribble Valley can feel quite remote at times, Longridge has grown tremendously over the past few years and we felt that now is the time to offer a counselling service that covers the whole area but with Longridge at the heart.

As the Practice develops, our aim is to get the community involved - we may be able to offer our room to certain groups and we are also looking to our colleagues and peers who may specialise in certain areas (children, trauma etc). We would also like to run short workshops around things like grief, self-esteem, trauma, somatic healing, self-compassion and are hoping to develop these over the coming months and years.

For any talking therapists out there, our room has availability for hourly, half day and possibly full day rental, so please get in touch.
