Supportive
We care passionately about empowering people to experience better mental health and well-being through empathic, non-judgmental acceptance and therapeutic support.
Established for over 32 years, Willows continues to offer its services to meet the mental health needs of people in Swindon, Wiltshire and the West of England.
Willows originated from a joint initiative between the District General Practitioners Committee and the Council of Churches, as at the time General Practitioners did not offer a counselling service. It was identified that there was a need within Swindon and the surrounding areas in Wiltshire to provide a professional, quality mental health service, and so Willows Counselling & Training began as a training agency in 1989 and in 1995 the counselling service emerged.
Now established for over 30 years, Willows continues to offer its services to meet the mental health needs of people in Swindon, Wiltshire, and the West of England. We offer counselling support for adults facing mental health difficulties, and we are specialists in counselling trauma and abuse with its complex challenges. We continue our dedication to training quality, ethical, and experienced counsellors of the future, thus we are recognised as a leading provider of counselling training from entry-level to postgraduate and beyond.
