ExploringU: The story so far…
ExploringU is a multiple-award-winning, comprehensive counselling/psychotherapy, Brain Injury / Orthopaedic and Training organisation, established in 2008 by Glenda D Roberts. The company’s team works with people recovering from brain and spinal injuries and strokes. Based in Sudbury (Suffolk) and Castle Hedingham (Essex), its multidisciplinary team provides bespoke services to an increasing variety of people seeking professional therapy or trauma rehabilitation. Members of the (MBACP) British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy for good practice.
How it all began:
ExploringU Counselling was born in an unremarkable room in Friar Street, Sudbury, in 2008 focusing on couples counselling. ‘What happened to me there had a huge influence on my career. I can only take issue about the size of the small offices’ says Founder/Director Roberts. Thereafter, the company moved into larger premises, where the present operation took shape. At this juncture, with an ever expanding team things started taking off in the rehabilitation field, realising she could no longer sustain demand, Glenda began training her staff in-house, and so the education side of the business blossomed.
As the company and its reputation grew, so many clients and service providers wanted working alongside. Under Glenda’s aegis, the practice left its office on Long Melford, it’s home since 2009 for premises in the historic Old Press Rooms; where it is now located in 2017. ‘A lot happened in that building. Almost all of it positive. I trust our new home continues that tradition’.
Today we train increasingly more staff on site. The exploringU centre for wellbeing is now home to many independent therapists who choose to use this space as a place in which to learn and grow.
