Somewhere House Somerset

Somewhere House Somerset is a community based mental health charity that is based in Burnham on Sea. We aim to help people overcome personal challenges so that they can live a more fulfilled life. This year we celebrate 10 years of success, and we have radical plans to increase our impact across Somerset. We have 3 main areas of focus:

1. Support through intensive 1:1 counselling therapy

2. Education through workshops at local schools on topics such as addiction, domestic abuse and mental health and well being

3. Connection through community engagement events (coffee mornings, quiz nights, football league)

We will help any person aged 5 or older who has a need or desire to access therapeutic support and around 34% of our clients are under the age of 16.   It is often the case that our clients are the most vulnerable in society such as individuals living with physical or mental disability, victims of abuse and trauma, those living in poverty, abusive households and feeling lonely, excluded and isolated.
