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.

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.
Jacqui
Counsellor
Jacqui is especially drawn to couples work and the realities of relationship. She is interested in the patterns people fall into together, the ways they lose contact, and what helps them find each other again
David works mainly with individuals. He is interested in self-awareness, presence, and what is happening in the here and now, both in a person’s life and in the room itself.
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.”

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
