COUNSELLING IN STREET, GLASTONBURY & ONLINE
Welcome to Balanсed Wellbeing
Professional counselling for adults in Glastonbury, Wells, Street, Walton and throughout Somerset, with online sessions available across the UK.
Thank you for your interest in my website. Whatever has brought you here, I invite you to follow your curiosity and find out a little about me, Kay, and what I may be able to offer you.
Counselling and therapy in a safe, confidential and supportive space
I am a professionally qualified Counsellor working with individuals face-to-face in Steet, Glastonbury and surrounding areas, as well as online. I will provide you with a confidential and safe space, in which you can allow yourself to talk about your concerns, issues and difficulties, which perhaps you feel unable to share with others.
An integrative approach tailored to your individual needs
I work using an integrative approach, like being equipped with a tool belt from which I can pull on elements from a variety of counselling modalities, which I feel would be most helpful to fit your needs and best suited to your character.
If you are seeking counselling for the first time, I hope to encourage you to ‘give it a try’. If you have previous experience of counselling, positive or negative, no two experiences can be the same. I hope to encourage you to ‘give it another go.

What Counselling Offers
Counselling offers a supportive environment where individuals can express their feelings and thoughts without judgment, helping to identify and address personal issues. It equips people with coping strategies, fosters self-understanding, and enhances problem-solving skills. Additionally, counselling aids in setting and achieving personal goals while providing tools for effective communication and emotional regulation. Ultimately, it promotes personal growth and resilience, leading to a more fulfilling life.

Questions you may have about counselling
How do I know if counselling is right for me?
Counselling provides a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings. If you’re experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck in life, counselling could be beneficial. If you’re unsure, please feel free to contact me either by phone or email, and we can schedule a time to discuss your concerns and see if it feels like a good fit.
What can I expect during my first session?
My aim is to create a welcoming and supportive environment. Your first session will be all about getting to know each other. It’s a chance for you to ask questions and get comfortable with the process. We will discuss any specific challenges you’re currently facing and talk through your possible goals for counselling.
How often should I attend counselling sessions?
The frequency of sessions can vary depending on your needs and goals. Typically, clients meet weekly or bi-weekly, especially at the beginning of therapy. We can adjust the schedule together as you progress and your needs change.
What happens if I need to cancel a session?
If you need to cancel an appointment, we would first try to move your session to an alternative time during the same week. If that is not possible, you will still need to pay for the cost of the room hire (within two weeks of your session) or the full amount of the session if within 48 hours of the upcoming booking. I will always try my hardest to accommodate all eventualities and endeavour to be as fair as possible.
How do I schedule an appointment?
You can schedule an appointment by contacting me via phone, email or through the contact page on this website. I will do my best to accommodate your preferred times and discuss any questions you might have before our first session.
