Come in, have a look round.

An 1820s townhouse on a quiet Stockbridge street: three floors, six consulting rooms, a kitchen with the kettle on and a walled garden at the back.

Walk through the rooms Getting here

Ring the bell, then come in.

There’s no reception desk and nobody behind glass. The front hall is where you’ll wait, and it’s about as calm as a hall can be.

Before you come: Nothing to fill in. Your therapist has read the notes from your call, and that’s all they need.
At the door: The door is on the latch during session hours. Ring once and come straight in; there’s no intercom to talk into.
In the hall: Hang your coat and take a seat on the bench by the window. Your therapist comes down for you on the hour.
Afterwards: Sit in the garden or the kitchen for a few minutes if you need to. Nobody will hurry you out of the front door.

Three floors and a garden.

Six consulting rooms, every one with a window that opens. Most people see their therapist in the same room each week, and you can always ask for a different one.

Ground floor

The front hall, the kitchen and one consulting room, all on the level, with the accessible loo at the back of the hall.

The kitchen at Stillroom, with a long table and the kettle by the window — The kitchen. Tea, coffee and water, help yourself

The kitchen
A long table, a window onto the garden and the kettle always on. Wait here if the hall feels too open.
Open to everyone
The garden room
Our step-free consulting room, at the back of the house, with doors that open straight onto the garden.
Bereavement, and anyone who would rather avoid stairs

First floor

The tallest windows in the house and three consulting rooms, two at the front and one over the garden.

Room one, two armchairs between tall sash windows with a view over the rooftops — Room one, south facing

Room one
Two armchairs, an olive tree and the morning sun on the wall. The view runs over the rooftops to the castle.
Individual therapy
The green room
Smaller and quieter, off the half-landing. A velvet chair, shelves of books and a lamp that stays low in the evenings.
Couples, trauma work and EMDR
Room two
At the back, over the garden and the birch tree. The calmest room in the house on a windy day.
CBT and counselling

Top floor

The stair turns twice more under a glass cupola. There’s no lift, so tell us if stairs are hard and we’ll book you downstairs.

The attic room with sloping ceilings, skylights and mats laid out on a wooden floor — The attic

The attic
The whole width of the house under the roof, with two skylights and a wooden floor. Where Clara teaches breathwork.

The garden

Walled on three sides, with a birch tree, lavender, two benches and a gravel path that goes all the way round.

Between sessions
Yours before or after an appointment, in any weather. There are blankets by the kitchen door.
Open to everyone
Walking sessions
Some people find it easier to talk side by side. Ask for a walking session and you’ll do laps of the garden instead.
Any therapist, by request
