At Dorset Pier Mental Health, we understand that the impact of one’s physical environment is often overlooked when it comes to addressing mental health concerns.
Research shows that when our environment feels dark, we can feel dark; when our environment feels chaotic, we can feel chaotic; and, when our environment doesn’t feel judgment-free, we can feel judged.
Thus, our staff have spent a significant amount of time ensuring that our counselling offices are warm, welcoming, and comforting.
Each counselling space at Dorset Pier is carefully and thoughtfully curated, prioritizing coziness with room to breathe. You will find plants, natural light, and comfortable, modern furnishings when joining us for your next session.
When you visit our office, you will see a number of signs highlighting specifically chosen words reflecting the environment we strive for
