Calm Space Counselling & CBT.
At Calm Space Counselling & CBT we are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and non‑judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings. Our aim is to help you navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity. Our approach is integrative, drawing on person‑centred, cognitive‑behavioural, and mindfulness‑based techniques to tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs. Discover how structured, goal-focused support can empower you to create meaningful, lasting change.
ABOUT US
We have spent over 20 years working with vulnerable groups, supporting people through a wide range of mental health challenges. Over the years, we've seen how the right support, at the right time, can help people overcome difficulties, find balance and live their best lives. This is what drives our passion for therapy.
We share the same belief: that with compassion, understanding, and collaborative work, people can move past trauma and adversity. Our approach is rooted in respect, empathy and the practical, evidence-based principles of CBT.
Having worked together for many years with both individuals and groups, we
realised that combining our experience and skills could make an even greater
difference. Completing our Postgraduate Diploma in CBT together felt like the
natural next step in creating a service where we could offer focused, supportive,
and personalised care.
We are committed to providing a space where people feel heard, safe,
and supported—a place to pause, reflect, and start building the life they want, one
step at a time.
