Our History

Co-founders of The Eaves, Stefan Kelly and Bridget Walford had met during their training to become qualified therapists in 2001. They shared a vision: to work alongside a group of Counselling and Psychology professionals dedicated to offering high quality therapy in every field of psychology.

The Eaves was founded in 2004 and set out to provide clients with top quality psychological therapies, in convenient locations, at a time that suited them. They felt that this practice should cater for all clients in calm, safe and comfortable consulting rooms.

They co-founded The Eaves with a definite philosophy that clients should be able to easily access quality psychological care. They would do everything possible to enable clients and practitioner to feel secure and valued, with their confidentiality being highly regarded at all times.

Our team of practitioners are all appropriately qualified, have independent indemnity insurance and are affiliated to their governing body, such as BPS or BACP.

Our Team

They work front of house and in the background to ensure clients are responded to professionally, that each practice runs smoothly and they are dedicated to making The Eaves a safe and comfortable environment for our affiliates to work in.
