Counselling and psychotherapy are recognised and established tools in supporting people through ‘tough times’ and also help to grow better relationships.

People come to counselling sessions like the ones held at The Terrace in Taunton because they want to feel better.

Individuals, couples and families have many reasons. They may just feel ‘not right’ but cannot pinpoint the reason, or have a difficult conflicted relationship or family issue, or they may recognise an unhelpful repeating pattern.

An experienced qualified counsellor will sit with the clients and discuss what they want and how this can be achieved.

Jane Gotto, UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, said: “Most people feel relieved after their first session, saying ‘it went so quickly’, ‘I can’t believe I’ve spoken for 50 minutes’ and ‘I feel lighter’.

“Counsellors help people resolve issues and feel better about themselves.”

Guests at an open evening on Monday, January 28, from 6pm can ask questions, meet the therapists and pre-book a session (£25 for the NSPCC).

It is ideal for individuals, couples and families. Call 01823-338968 or email post@the-terrace.co.uk
