Living Your Life provides a unique and affirmative service in Bedfordshire for people who have been affected by trauma.  By trauma, we mean anything that you have experienced that you found traumatic.  

​

We are anti-ableist, antiracist, support gender and sexual relationship diversity, and are against discrimination in all its forms.

 

In our experience, while counselling is extremely helpful to process trauma, people can also often benefit from personal development workshops such as those focusing on self-esteem, and coaching which supports the achievement of personal and professional goals.  

​

When we meet you for the first time, we will listen carefully to you and together we will agree how we will work.  It may be that you're ready to start therapy and we can start that immediately.  Perhaps you've already had counselling and are thinking about what you'd like to achieve now?  In that case, we will assign a coach to work with you.  You can attend our workshops alongside your one-to-one appointments, or, if you'd prefer, you can simply sign up to our workshops as you feel they are appropriate for you.  

​

We are able to offer appointments in-person, online or by phone - whichever you prefer.  

​

As we do not offer crisis support, if if you are in need of urgent assistance, please contact the Samaritans on 116 123, visit your GP, call the NHS on 111 or attend the nearest Accident & Emergency service.
