Welcome to Fernbridge, where balance isn’t about perfection, it’s about being human.

Meet our founder – Clara Bennett

Our goal isn’t to keep you in therapy forever. It’s to help you find your footing — so you can walk forward on your own.

Our therapists bring years of experience helping people just like you — people who are tired of carrying everything alone. We use proven, evidence-based methods tailored to what you actually need, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Whether you prefer meeting in person or from the comfort of home, whether you’re seeking individual therapy or couples counselling, we’re here to meet you where you are.

We’re a small team of licensed counsellors, psychologists and family therapists based in Hereford — and online across the country. Every member of our team is accredited, supervised and deeply committed to this work.

Whatever you bring through our door — or to the screen — stays in the room. No labels, no lectures, no judgement. Just a calm, confidential space where you can say the things you’ve never said out loud.

We draw on CBT, EMDR, emotionally focused and psychodynamic methods — chosen around you, not the other way round. Practical tools for today, deeper understanding for the long term.

Stories of transformation

Josh – manager

Logical, empathetic and effective. The medication management and therapy combo changed my life trajectory.

Milla – artist

Fernbridge has been a sanctuary for me. The tools I’ve learned here have helped me navigate my creative blocks and personal anxiety.

Sophia – teacher

As a teacher, burnout is real. My therapist helped me set boundaries and find joy in my work again. Highly recommended.

Daniel – new father

I arrived sceptical and exhausted. Six months on, I’m sleeping better, arguing less and actually enjoying the chaos at home.

Priya – nurse

After years of putting everyone else first, I finally had a space that was just mine. Gentle, practical and genuinely life-changing.

Change begins with a single conversation. You don’t need to have all the answers right now.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Questions we are often asked

Read our FAQ’s

If something in your life feels stuck, heavy or confusing — low mood, constant worry, a relationship under strain — therapy can help. You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis. Many of our clients simply want a clearer head and a kinder inner voice.

Standard sessions last 50 minutes. Couples and family sessions can run to 75 minutes when there’s more to hold. We’ll agree the rhythm together — usually weekly to begin with, then spacing out as you grow stronger.

Individual sessions start at £65, couples and family sessions at £85. We work with major insurance providers and offer a limited number of reduced-fee places. See our fees page for the full picture.

Yes — around half of our clients meet us online. Sessions run over secure video, with the same counsellor, the same 50 minutes and the same care as coming to our Hereford rooms.

We’re integrative: CBT and EMDR for practical change, emotionally focused and psychodynamic work for deeper patterns. Your therapist will explain their approach in plain English in your very first session.
