River counselling services

06/10/2025

And just like that… we’ve moved!

We loved our riverside home, but beautiful views and a stunning location doesn’t trump client or practitioner experience for us. Our new location at Old Kelways means plenty of parking for everyone, as well as more availability for session times and in the not too distant future a waiting room for clients too… plus we’ve even got a pear tree we can pick from the window!

If you’re interested in sessions with us, please get in touch. We currently have no waiting list and lots of availability, with sessions starting from £20 with a trainee counsellor and initial assessments for a £25 fee

Did you spot our Agency Lead, Emma, at this weekend? (Hint: she’s in the pink tutu!)

Here we support our local LGBTQIA+ community - in Langport and beyond. We actively challenge our prejudice and bias to be able to support clients where they are at, regardless (and in celebration of!) of their gender identity, sexuality and/or diverse background and we champion the unique individuals that enter our counselling rooms, both to have sessions (our clients) and to hold them (our practitioners!)

Mental health difficulties don’t discriminate - so neither should we.

Swipe for the all too often jarring reality of MH services right now… 😞

It’s a sad state of affairs with mental health support through GPs/IAPT services at present… one of the reasons River was founded was to address the huge gap in services for our local community.

We currently have NO waiting list! With counsellors ready and waiting to work with clients and NO limitations on the amount of sessions you can have - we work short and long term, with session fees from just £20-£50 depending on your needs as a client.

What a stunning view from one of our counselling rooms today!

We have a prime spot by the River Parrett in Langport, and whilst our location is a huge factor in why we are called “River Counselling Services” - it’s not the only one. Any guesses as to another reason why?

We have counsellors with availability to see new clients with fees of £20-£50 per session, depending on your needs, and we don’t limit session numbers, so you can feel safe to explore your difficulties without facing a timescale of “8 to 10 sessions”.

We don’t try and shoehorn your challenges into worksheets or homework to “fix” you, instead we aim to provide a safe space for you to talk, and feel fully heard, so you can perhaps explore ways of living differently.

Please get in touch if you’re considering counselling -

Spring has sprung… but are you still feeling blue?

Statistics show that Spring is the most “at risk” time for people with mental health difficulties or going through challenges in life. It’s believed to be associated with nature waking up, days lengthening and flowers blooming… making the disparity more obvious if you’re feeling down.

Please don’t manage alone, we have counsellors waiting to see you, with sessions available from £20-£40 with a student counsellor and an initial assessment fee of just £25

Our second therapy room is now open, and clients have already been commenting on the softer feel. We hire rooms to professionals who sometimes need a desk to work online, but when working in smaller spaces it’s nice to have a sofa option available too! Our spaces are designed with clients in mind, soft, calm, clean spaces with a wonderful view of the river

Thank you so much Langport - Where It's To for your continued support - even with a very blurry video from me 😅

Thank you so much to the Western Gazette for this lovely article about our agency! Particularly pleased with the inclusion of just how proud we are of our trainee counsellors.

Many people are put off by the idea of a “trainee” - in the counselling world it’s quite a positive! No practitioner is stuck in a rut here or just ticking boxes to make an income…!

Somerset Live have written an article about us! Thank you for spreading the word so we reach more people who need support 🥰

Shares appreciated 🙂

We all of us face daily challenges with the struggles of modern life and for some if not most the cost of a private counsellor or therapist is just too much.

It’s really challenging times at the minute, with uncertainty in so many areas - government, climate, employment to name a few. Recently many of our clients have been sharing the ongoing impact of lockdown and covid, still working from home with the associated isolation, difficulty with socialising, health anxieties as well as it being a darker time of year and financial strain due to the cost of living crisis.

Fortunately, we are able to offer sessions from £20-£40 with a student counsellor, bridging a gap for low cost counselling to our local area.

This time of year can be so difficult for so many people. We have counsellors ready to see clients looking for support with their emotional wellbeing.
