“…They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendour. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and RESTORE the places long devastated…”   Isaiah 61:3b-4a

 

Our desire is to see professional counselling services planted and sustained across the UK to enable restoration to lives devastated by mental health issues. This is especially relevant at this time when many lives have been drastically affected by Coronavirus and the lockdown. There is grief, there is loss of life and income, there is isolation and there has been unimaginable change, increasing anxiety, depression and all kinds of mental health issues.  Together we can do something to help restore broken lives.  We are here for you whether you are looking to set up a counselling service or you looking for support with an existing counselling service.

In 2011, three years after having set up Caterham Counselling Centre, Clemy was invited to attend a forum for doctors and local support charities. This was organised by the Surrey Volunteer Association to help alleviate some of the pressures that doctors surgeries were under to provide longer term patient support. The aim was to introduce and connect the doctors to the agencies that were in the community offering the extra support to patients. At the meeting it was noticed that mental health services were hugely underrepresented.

Following this, and in response to requests from various professionals both in the medical field and counselling sector, Clemy set up ‘Restore Counselling Network’ with the aim of assisting professionals and not-for-profit groups such as churches, to set up counselling centres in their communities.  She went on to enable the setting up of a further three counselling services in the area and has continued to offer her support to encourage sustainable practice. Restore Counselling Network has grown to now include consultancy for existing counselling services and a substantial network of counselling service managers that meet regularly for peer support and encouragement.
