We set up The Next Chapter to create a warm, welcoming space where you can explore life’s challenges and address personal difficulties. Our qualified counsellors are here to support you with whatever is bothering you, working in a collaborative way that is personally tailored to you. We work confidentially and won’t judge you or put you under pressure.

Mind and body are closely connected. How we feel physically can affect us emotionally, and difficulties in our lives can impact on on our overall health and wellbeing. We offer bodywork therapies to support you as part of our holistic approach to physical and mental wellbeing.

Our life coach can help you make choices and make a plan for moving towards what you want, and our bookshop can help you find relevant books for mental health and wellbeing issues.

All the practitioners at The Next Chapter are fully qualified, experienced and registered with the relevant professional bodies. We are actively working together to be inclusive and gender, sex and relationship diversity-affirmative. Click here to read our anti-racism statement.
