Therapy for those who want to go deep

We offer depth-oriented, relational therapy for people who feel empty, lost, or disconnected from themselves, others, or life itself, and who are searching for a more authentic and whole way of living.

Expect real conversation, direct challenge when it helps, and a relationship you can actually use.

Face to face in Bishops Lydeard (near Taunton) or online from anywhere. Easily accessible from Taunton, Williton, Watchet and West Somerset.

Work with real people, not a system

Being In It Together is a private practice partnership run by Jacqui and David. We work relationally, which means the relationship itself matters. You won’t be processed through techniques or protocols. You’ll be met by a person. We offer individual therapy, couples therapy, and groups.

Jacqui Vickery

Jacqui is particularly drawn to couples work and the lived reality of relationship. She focuses on emotional patterns, attachment, repair, and the places couples lose and find each other again.

David Edwards

David focuses primarily on individual therapy, working with identity, meaning, stuckness, and the stories people live inside. His style is reflective, direct, and relational.

What We Do

We offer counselling in person and online in three different ways.

Individual Therapy

One-to-one therapy focused on meaning, identity, and patterns that no longer serve you.
Work with Jacqui or David.

Couples Therapy

Relational therapy for couples who feel stuck, distant, or caught in repeating conflict.
Couples work is primarily led by Jacqui.

Group Therapy

Depth-oriented therapy groups offering connection, challenge, and shared work.

Why People Come

  • You feel lost, empty or disconnected.
  • Relationships feel difficult or painful.
  • You keep repeating the same patterns.
  • Life feels flat or lacks meaning.
  • You’re unsure who you really are.

How We Work

  • We speak plainly and honestly
  • We pay attention to what happens between us in the room
  • We challenge where it is appropriate
  • We care about meaning, not just symptom reduction
  • We build a relationship you can rely on

What Makes Us Different

We do not offer formula therapy, quick fixes, or surface-level reassurance.

Our work is relational and depth-oriented. That means the relationship itself matters, difficulty is not rushed away, and we pay attention to what happens between us in the room.

We will be honest with you, challenge you when it helps, and stay with you through complexity rather than simplifying it too quickly.

  • You are tired of repeating the same patterns
  • You want more than coping strategies
  • You are willing to be honest, even when it is uncomfortable
  • You want therapy that takes you seriously as a person

If you are looking for techniques only or short-term symptom management, we may not be the right fit.

How it Works

Most people start within 1-2 weeks of first contact.

Free Consultation

Agree A Direction

If it feels like a good fit, we’ll agree a regular weekly slot and a starting focus.

Begin The Work

We work together over time, reviewing the process and direction as we go.

“I was blind at the start of therapy to how I had closed off from the world. I was guarding myself from hurt and vulnerability.
This work helped me embrace openness and communicate my grief.”

Our Story & Approach To Therapy

We’re Jacqui and David, and we created Being in it Together because we wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of good therapy. Our shared passion for counselling brought us together, giving you the option of working one-to-one with either of us—or benefiting from both our perspectives in group sessions.

We don’t practice behavioral therapy. We find that life can slip away when we become too fixated on “what” we’re doing and “how” we’re doing it—when “I should do this, I should do that” becomes all we hear. Of course, our actions matter, but they can drown out the deeper experience of simply being. Our approach is about returning to that sense of presence, which is why we call it Being in it Together.
