Counselling & wellbeing
Room to talk, with someone qualified to listen
Alongside mentoring, our wider team includes qualified counselling and wellbeing practitioners. Sessions can happen in a quiet room, or side by side walking the land.

Our approach
Multidisciplinary, and joined up with everything else we do
Counselling here isn't separate from the rest of the work. Someone might see a counsellor and also come to the Shed, volunteer with the animals, or work with a mentor, whatever combination actually helps.
You don't need a referral or a diagnosis. Get in touch and we'll arrange a conversation about what you're looking for and whether we're the right people.
We're honest about our limits. If what you need is specialist or clinical care, we'll say so and help you find it rather than keep you waiting with us.
