Renew the Mind - NCPS Accredited Counselling in Gloucester

Welcome to Renew the Mind, the personal counselling practice of Alison Raeburn. I give caring and compassionate counselling to adults. I offer the choice of online sessions or face to face in my peaceful therapy room in the serene rural village of Highnam, just outside Gloucester.

Do you feel overwhelmed with worry or sadness or perhaps you struggle to sleep? Maybe you keep arguing with loved ones or feel you are not good enough? Whatever your reason for seeking counselling I am here for you.

I can help you to move forward from your current troubles and take more control of your life.

The ultimate goal is that your changes are long-lasting. This will mean that you feel emotionally lighter and you can more easily cope when difficult situations come your way.

I understand that starting counselling can be daunting and it will take courage to share personal aspects of your life with me. I will help you to feel at ease and be with you every step of the way.

We will take sessions at a pace set by you and together we will talk about your feelings and concerns. I will support you towards making changes so that you can start living the life that you want.

She gave me the confidence, support and tools I needed in order to take control of my journey. If you’re a sensitive, anxious individual looking for someone to feel safe with, Alison is a great choice Thank you so much 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alison made me immediately comfortable.  Her style is warm and friendly whilst maintaining the professional boundary. I was extremely low when I met Alison. Menopause, family difficulties and overwhelming long term grief which I struggled to understand. Alison helped me unpick all these things and I quickly came to very much look forward to that sacred time which was reserved for me, about me.  It was invaluable and I was sad when I realised I no longer needed her services. I cannot recommend her highly enough.  As she says, Self care is everything.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alison was extremely helpful. She has helped me understand myself better. She put me at ease and felt comfortable right away. She has been a huge benefit in my life. I've always struggled to open up and talk about my feelings  Her positive and non judgement attitude has made a huge improvement to my day to day life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Alison during a particularly chaotic and challenging period in my life. She was deeply empathetic and genuinely caring throughout the process. Alison offered clear, thoughtful guidance, gently challenged my perspective when needed, and helped me make sense of overwhelming emotions and major life issues that I had been struggling to handle on my own. I consistently left our sessions feeling lighter, clearer, and more at ease.
