Our mission is to make quality counselling and therapy more accessible for all. We provide a safe space to talk in-person and provide online counselling too.

We’re excited to share that we are now able to offer EMDR therapy, a well-established, evidence-based approach that helps people process traumatic or distressing experiences.

As a charity, our goal is to make counselling accessible. Thanks to grants and donations, EMDR is available at a standard fee of £70, with reduced-fee options for those on lower incomes. We hope this will open the door to a therapy that might otherwise be out of reach for some.

Places are limited, and access includes two initial consultation sessions to ensure the therapy is suitable, followed by a structured course of sessions.

Find out more or submit an enquiry here: https://scctaunton.org.uk/contact/ or email: info@scctaunton.org.uk

If you would like to help us offer even more support to people, you can donate here: justgiving.com/charity/scctaunton

“Being positive does not mean ignoring the negative. Being positive means overcoming the negative.”
Ralph S Marston Jr

Challenges are part of every journey. Being positive isn’t about pretending they don’t exist; it’s about facing them, learning from them, and moving forward anyway.

A new week brings new chances to rise above what holds you back.

Keep going. You've got this.

Our 2 TCS London Marathon fundraising runners Robin and Jess are approaching the last week of their training. They have both been on an incredible fundraising journey. Today we'd like to talk about Robin.. A huge shout-out to Jess, who is running the TCS London Marathon for SCC too.

Not only has Robin been putting in the miles with his training, but he has already reached his fundraising target. What an amazing achievement! We'll give you a final total very soon!

He hasn’t been doing his training alone though. His loyal training partner Mabel the dog 🐾 has been right there beside him, although of course she has 4 feet, so that must make it easier, right?

Monday motivation ...

“You have to think it before you can do it. The mind is what makes it all possible.”
Kai Greene

Every achievement starts with a thought. A goal. A belief that it’s possible.

So as the week begins, take a moment to picture what you want to achieve. The first step isn’t always action; sometimes it’s simply believing you can.

Set the intention. Take the step. See where it leads.

Greater Freedom

Counselling helps you explore the way you think and act; to see how you may be repeating unhelpful patterns of behaviour or thinking. It can also help you explore the way you deal with relationships and conflict.

You can bring thoughts and feelings, which you may not feel able to share with friends or family. You are free to talk safely, without fear of rejection, criticism or blame. Your counsellor will not tell you what to do but will help you to make your own choices and to make changes in your life that offer greater freedom in thought and action.

SCC counsellors come from a range of different trainings and incorporate a variety of counselling models including psychodynamic, person-centred, integrative and humanistic.

To give counselling the best chance of working the sessions need to be weekly. The counselling session lasts 50 minutes. Counselling can be time limited 6 – 12 sessions, or over a longer period of time depending on requirement, this will be discussed more fully at your initial consultation.
