Every journey begins with the first step, and it’s taken courage for you to take this first step in seeking support. Starting therapy can be daunting, and will be tough at times, but it can lead to long-lasting positive change. Moving the River offers confidential and judgement free counselling and psychotherapeutic services in a safe space online to adults resident in the UK.

For me Moving the River as a metaphor represents the concepts of perpetual change and constant motion, symbolising the continually changing nature of life and even ourselves. Just as a river flows around obstacles, the metaphor encourages us to be adaptable and resilient in finding peaceful ways to navigate challenges rather than resisting them. Embracing the flow and letting go of forced control can lead to natural growth and a deeper peace, much like the river carving its way to the sea.
