Walking into a therapy room for the first time takes something. So the space in King’s Lynn was made to be the easy part — quiet, private, warm, and yours for the hour.

 

Soft armchairs rather than a desk between us. Warm light instead of a strip light. Plants, books, a candle, and the mulberry tree emblem on the wall behind you. It is a working therapy room, but it was put together to feel closer to a good sitting room than a consulting suite.

There is a blanket if you want one, tissues within reach, and a tray of sensory items — the “Feeling Fidgety” pouch — for anyone who finds it easier to talk with something in their hands. Nothing here is a test. Use whatever helps.
