Shine Counselling

We want to update you with one big aspect of Shine that is changing…

For the past three years, since we started thinking about having a bigger counselling service, we have worked with Wellspring Therapy and Training as a satellite practice from their main centre in Harrogate. They helped especially in the initial stages – helping us interview for Emma’s position and create the policies and procedures we use as well give support as we got going.

We now feel we have ‘grown ‘ enough to be able to end this relationship and be on our own – so fully known as Shine Counselling and responsible for our own procedures, data etc. This process has begun as we have now combined the two data systems and are sorting policies etc. This shows how far we have come over the past three years and we are very grateful for the start Wellspring has given us so we can now be an independent service.

Thanks especially to Emma, our counselling coordinator, and all the counsellors who have worked with us – Samantha, Arfeeen, Mags, Adelie, Nav, Karen, Ben, Alla, Louise and never forgetting Bec. Thanks too to our wonderful Operations Manager Lou who has managed so much of this.

And this is why we do it:

“12 weeks of counselling has meant the anxiety over 18 years has left me.”
