"Awareness Creates Choice, Courage Creates Change"

About Us

Turn 2 was created and developed following a growing awareness that there is a lack of mental health, counselling and therapeutic services offered to members of the armed forces, the emergency services and the veterans of both these proud services. Following many years of service, both in the Armed Forces and with a UK Fire & Rescue Service, Turn 2 is proud to offer a realistic approach to counselling therapy services to an increasing number of clients from all walks of life, from global CEO's and specialist military and police units, to those struggling with day to day living. 

 

We work hard to offer a different type of counselling service that puts the client first in every way possible.  

Turn 2 aims to develop and support, by offering a bespoke, tailored therapeutic service that caters directly to the needs of our diverse client base.

 

Here is a brif history.

My Name is Ash Griffiths and I was a Royal Marine for 10 years . I have been lucky enough to serve across the globe with some of the best soldiers and people in the world. I have worked alongside specialist and elite units in arduous and hostile locations.

On leaving the Royal Marines, I was employed as a security systems consultant within the super yacht industry.

I am currently working for the emergency services in a Fire And Rescue instructional role. I have been in the Fire and Rescue Service for 20+ years in various different roles, from operational to training manager. 

In every aspect of my working life, I have identified a lack in good, specific mental health support which is why I started Turn2counselling. My aim is to help remove or reduce the stigma that still hangs over men and woman that are seeking help when things go wrong or just don't add up. +

What We Offer

We offer a bespoke hollistic person centered counselling and therapeutic service, that is tailored to the clients needs. We work in a humanistic integrative approach to counselling, meaning the client has the ability to 'fix' themselves if the core conditions are met within the therapeutic relationship. We integrate different therapeutic models, including CBT, in order to give the client the absolute best we can offer. We have real life experience of the UK Military and Emergency Services. 

What you need to know

The client is always at the centre of what we do, we don't give advise or 'fix' things with some sort of magic wand.  In the right therapeutic and listening environment, the client can begin to understand, accept and make the changes needed to move forward with resilience and confidence in themselves. We offer a non-judgmental, confidential, and empathetic therapeutic environment where the client and therapist build a relationship. This will enable the client to explore in depth, and develop a rationale for their feelings and emotions. We work together to develop 'tools' and strategies to help the client cope with these emotions. Trust, confidentiality and being able to follow the BACP ethical framework, is at the very core of everything we do at Turn 2. This ensures that the client gets the very best of what we offer.

All initial sessions will be conducted online giving the client piece of mind and the confidence to choose whether they are able to work with a member of the team. All sessions are 50 minutes in duration and prices are discussed and negotiated during the initial session.

Face To Face Therapy Sessions

Face to face therapy, is a conventional approach to creating a safe environment, where the client is encouraged to explore in depth elements that are having an effect on their mental wellbeing and health. Our offices are located on the South Coast of England

Walk & Talk Therapy Sessions

This is currently our most popular form of therapeutic intervention, for both male and female clients. A session involves the usual session time frame, but without being restricted by four walls. Walking in various beautiful locations, these can take place along the scenic coastline, through woodlands or within the New Forest. This can be catered to the client but is usually better to find a more neutral location where the client feels more comfortable. This all weather approach can be as powerful as face to face.

Online
Therapy Sessions

Another popular form of counselling and therapy is now Online. This requires a stable internet connection and the ability to have a video call. We use encrypted platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and WhatsApp. This element was one of few good things to come out of the Covid Pandemic but allows a therapeutic intervention anywhere in the world. This is popular with clients who regularly find themselves out of the country or who are more comfortable online.

Telephone Therapy Sessions

Although not as popular as the other three approaches, there are some clients who prefer counselling and therapy sessions on the telephone,  without the intrusion of a video call. Again this can suit clients from all over the world and the aim would be to move toward online sessions when confidence is built and access to a stable internet connection can be confirmed.
