Therapy for people who want something real

Sometimes the problem is not just anxiety, conflict, grief, or feeling stuck. It is that somewhere along the way, you stopped feeling fully here in your own life.

Our work is about honesty, presence, and real human contact. No scripts. No empty positivity. No being treated like a problem to fix. Just a welcoming space where you can be met properly, and where something real can happen.

Face to face in Bishops Lydeard, near Taunton, or online across the UK.

Work with real people, not a system

Being In It Together is a shared practice run by Jacqui and David. We are not here to process you through techniques or protocols. We are here to meet you as you are, get to know you properly, and offer a serious but human space for therapy.
We offer individual therapy, couples therapy, and groups.

Why People Reach Out

  • You feel cut off from yourself
  • Relationships feel painful, confusing, or hard to hold onto
  • You are tired of repeating the same patterns
  • You are functioning on the outside but feel flat or lost underneath
  • You want somewhere you can stop performing and be more honest

How We Work

  • We speak plainly and honestly
  • We pay attention to what is happening in the room, not just the story about it
  • We are interested in awareness, presence, and real contact
  • We take therapy seriously, but offer it humanly
  • We build the kind of relationship that can actually do something

Why This Feels Different

We do not offer formula therapy, stock responses, or polished distance. We are interested in what is happening now, in who you are, and in what becomes possible when you are properly met.

We take therapy seriously, but that does not mean coldness or performance. It means care, attention, honesty, and a real relationship.

  • You want therapy that feels human, not scripted
  • You want to be taken seriously as a person
  • You are tired of skimming the surface
  • You want more awareness, more honesty, and more room to choose

If what you want is a technique without a relationship, we may not be the right fit.

How it Works

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

Free Consultation

Book a free 20-minute video call to talk through what is bringing you here and ask any questions you have.

See If It Feels Right

If it feels like a good fit, we will agree a regular weekly slot and begin from where you are.

Begin Meeting Regularly

From there, we meet over time, paying attention to what is happening and getting to know you more fully.

“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.”

About Being in it Together

We’re Jacqui and David, and this practice grew from a shared way of seeing therapy. We believe people need spaces where they can be met as they are, spoken to honestly, and taken seriously without being treated like problems to fix.

Being In It Together is our way of offering that: a human, welcoming, grounded practice for individual therapy, couples therapy, and groups in Bishops Lydeard and online
