Jacqui Vickery

Hello fellow travellers, my name is Jacqui.

I want this to reach people who are travelling through life feeling lost and alone. People who are sick and tired of their same old story that no longer serves them. People who keep trying to convince themselves that if they just erase the old story, or write a different one with new characters, then hopefully the old story will fade away. But instead, those old, rickety pages are far too comfortable and familiar, and before you know it you find yourself travelling through them again, heading toward the same ending.

Do you feel ready to open yourself to a new perspective, a new chapter, a different story? I’m sure by now you have wasted enough precious time. So, let’s not waste anymore.

I am willing to meet you as you are and stand with you through this journey. I too, have travelled through these pages. I know it’s messy and beautiful, difficult and life changing.

I offer you a space to be seen. A space to let go of your old stories, to lay down your armour and forge a new way, to create a new story with a different beginning, middle and end. One that you actually choose for yourself, that is bright, meaningful and real. You’d happily relive it over and over again.

Do you offer counselling and psychotherapy in Taunton?

Yes, we have a therapy room in Bishops Lydeard. It’s a short drive from Taunton, close to Norton Fitzwarren, Cotford St. Luke and Williton.

Where are you based near Taunton?

We are in Bishops Lydeard, TA4. It’s a short drive out of Taunton. Many clients visit us from Norton Fitzwarren, Williton, Watchet and the surrounding villages.

What kind of therapy do you offer?

We are both integrative counsellors. We have conversations with people drawing on gestalt, jungian and existential therapies. You can find out more about us here.

Do you offer online therapy as well as in-person therapy?

Absolutely. We offer counselling and psychotherapy both in person and online for individuals and couples. You can find out more about online therapy with us here.

How much does therapy cost?

For individuals we charge £65 for 50 minute sessions. For couples, £80 for 60 minute sessions.

How often do I need to come to therapy?

Our ideal is to meet with clients weekly. We understand that realistically that is not always affordable for people, so we also meet with clients fortnightly after a minimum of 4 weekly sessions.

What happens in the free consultation?

The consultation is a 20 minute video call and a chance to see if we feel we will work well together. You can ask us anything you’d like, tell us about what you are looking and – probably more important than anything – get a sense of whether you feel you could be comfortable working with us. Being with the right therapist is very important, this gives you a chance to see if either of us might be right for you with no commitment.

David is an honest, down-to-earth and approachable therapist who has helped us immensely to guide us through some difficult challenges in our lives.
At every stage he has shown compassion and genuine interest in the root of points of conflict, and has helped us to show ourselves and others more kindness and love.

Couples Therapy Client

I have been working with David for the last 5months and would not be in the place I am today without him. He is kind, warm and inviting. Would 100% recommend.

Individual Therapy Client

David, has changed my life by teaching me how to look at things that have been conditioned in my brain for many years in a different way!
He doesn’t mince his words and says it how he sees it ….which suits my style or communication and thinking ! Could not recommend him highly enough !

Individual Therapy Client

My husband and I have been working with Jacqui for over 6 months, and it has been an incredibly positive and transformative experience for our relationship. We felt heard, understood, and supported from the very first session, and we’re genuinely closer, stronger, and happier as a couple because of the work we’ve done together.

Couples Therapy Client

David’s group sessions are a really positive space. He creates a safe, supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable opening up and learning from each other.
I’m incredibly grateful for the progress I’ve made with David’s help and would highly recommend his group therapy to anyone looking for real, meaningful change.

Group Therapy Client

Jacqui instantly made me feel comfortable and provided a safe space to explore my life and myself. Her insight, compassion, and perceptiveness helped me understand things I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life, and the work we did together genuinely changed my life.
