Six qualified counsellors, psychotherapists and a clinical psychologist work independently from our quiet first-floor rooms on East Street. Get in touch with any of them directly, or tell us what's going on and we'll help you choose.
Every counsellor and psychotherapist is fully qualified and works within a recognised ethical framework, such as the BACP, UKCP, NCPS or HCPC.
Therapists coordinate their appointment times so clients rarely arrive or leave at the same moment as someone else.
Most offer a free phone call or an initial appointment, so you can see whether they feel like the right fit before going further.
Person-centred, psychodynamic, existential, CBT, EMDR, IFS and more. You can choose an approach, or simply choose a person.
Alongside face-to-face sessions, several therapists work by video or telephone, and one offers walk-and-talk sessions outdoors.
The centre is open from 8am to 10pm every day, with different therapists working at different times.
Each therapist sets their own fees and availability. Read their profiles and contact whoever feels right. You are welcome to speak to more than one before deciding.

An accredited counsellor and supervisor, Catherine works with adults and young people from age 12 and is a trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist.
The therapy rooms are designed to be calm and unhurried: a place to explore feelings and experiences in confidence, at whatever pace suits you.
You'll arrive at a quiet first-floor landing rather than a waiting room full of people, and your therapist will meet you there.
The centre is on East Street in the middle of Wimborne Minster, a few minutes' walk from the Minster itself. Each therapist works at different times, so the building is open from early morning until late evening.
