Getting started
You do not need to know which type of therapy you need before getting in touch.

We usually begin with a free introductory call, giving you space to ask questions, tell us a little about what has brought you here. 
This helps us both decide whether working together is right for you.

There is no obligation to book.

Coming in 2027
Beyond Shame
Something is on the way. 

A new online course from Place to Talk Therapies, arriving in 2027.

More details soon. 

Follow on Facebook & Instagram for updates. 


Resource Library
Practical resources for individuals and therapists, including reflective worksheets, guided exercises and free downloads.

A little space for thought in a busy world. Monthly reflections on life, relationships and emotional wellbeing, with psychological insights and occasional links to articles and resources. 


Shared freely by clients in their own time, after therapy had ended. These reviews reflect real experiences of counselling, EMDR and couples therapy with our Bournemouth, Ferndown and Burbage and online team. If you're ready to take that first step yourself, get in touch and we'll help you find the right fit.

I was able to rebuild my relationship with food, improving both my physical and mental health, and strengthening my resilience. With Roger's support, I also started a new career, something that had felt out of reach just a few months earlier.

Therapist | Roger

Online couples counselling gave us the space to slow down, communicate honestly, and hear each other differently. We left with a stronger connection, healthier ways of communicating, and practical tools that have made a lasting difference to our relationship.

Therapist: Kay

Thank you for providing a space where I could express my fears without feeling judged. Throughout my illness it has at times felt like I needed to be the strong one for family and friends. You gave me the space to explore my fears and find my hope.

Therapist: Kay

All my friends knew about Kay because I talked so highly of her! Doing EMDR therapy with her resulted in the first time in 7 years that I didn't have a panic attack on Valentine's Day. Working with Kay gave me such useful tools to manage my issues.
