At the heart of our business is the belief that everyone has the capacity for change and growth. We understand that life can present challenges that are difficult to navigate, and we are here to help. Our team is led by Pat King, a UKRCP Registered Independent Counsellor/Psychotherapist with over twenty years of experience in private practice. Pat is an Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist with the BACP and a qualified and experienced supervisor. Our team is committed to providing a high-quality service, working within a supportive and trusting relationship with our clients.

Our Services

We offer counselling and psychotherapy services to individuals and couples, tailoring the length and frequency of sessions to meet your needs. Our initial meeting includes a free half-hour assessment, where we explore the issues concerning you and determine whether we would be comfortable working together. Following this, we offer charged sessions that last for a minimum of one hour, with the option for longer sessions if required.

Our team works with a variety of approaches, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), and we will utilize whatever works best for each individual client. We can help with a wide range of issues, including:

• Depression, anxiety, and panic
• Stress, illness, and bereavement
• Problems at work and difficulties in relationships
• Sexuality, anger, confusion, and the effects of abuse
• Making changes and coping with difficult situations that arise in life

We also offer supervision services to individuals and groups in the helping professions and teachers. This confidential setting can support you in dealing with the stresses you may be coping with and can help maintain mental health and reduce stress-related illness.

Our Approach

Our approach is grounded in the belief that each person is unique, and we strive to create a safe, relaxing, and confidential atmosphere where you can feel comfortable exploring your concerns. We encourage and support you in gaining a clear understanding of your present situation and considering possible ways of moving forward with your life.

We understand that seeking counselling can be a daunting experience, and we are committed to providing a non-judgmental and supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood. We work collaboratively with you to identify your goals and develop a plan to achieve them.

Our Location

Our counselling practice is located in the centre of Ely, within easy reach of the surrounding villages and of Cambridge. We are close to the borders of Norfolk and Suffolk, making us accessible to a wide range of clients.
