Welcome to
The Therapy Quarters
We are a small therapy clinic based in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Staffordshire. Founded in early 2020 by Karen Harrison with the aim to provide a Covid-19 secure, safe and welcoming counselling service to individual adults, couples, children and young people both in the local area and further afield.
Deciding to take the leap and look for a counsellor or therapist can be a daunting thing to do which is why we aim to make your time with us as relaxed and friendly as possible. Our clinic is located in The Barracks Workshops in Newcastle-Under-Lyme which has a warm and inviting feel to it and our therapists can offer you a non-judgemental, confidential and supportive space for you to explore whatever is causing you distress.
Please click on the “make an enquiry” tab or give us a call on 01782 614780 or 07780 829877 (or text message) to ask us any questions you may have or discuss what you need so we can support you to take the first step in making a significant change.

Here we will introduce you to some of our team so you can get to know a little more about them without it impacting your sessions where their focus is, rightly, on you. We asked our therapists 10 questions and we will publish their answers in a series [...]

Therapy isn’t linear
Illustration depicting the journey of therapy, from @ocddoodles on Instagram This is one of my favourite therapy images and I hold it in mind, not just for my journey, but also for my clients. I see myself as being a small part of your journey; I might be the one to hand you the towel as you begin your fight or help educate you when you need to understand what is happening to you. I may be the one who lights your way out of the fog, or moves the ladder so you can reach it. I can be the supporting act when you begin to catch your setbacks sooner than you have before. But I am just a teeny part of your picture. You may work with me for a long time, you may decide one session is enough. You may leave and come back, you may [...]
