Recovery through
therapy
Arc is a small local charity providing accessible, affordable psychological therapy at the heart of our community.
We support local adults aged 18+ experiencing bereavement, anticipatory grief and life-changing health events, offering a safe and compassionate space to make sense of what has happened and find a way forward.
Our experienced therapists work from Axminster Medical Practice, while remaining part of an independent charity. This close relationship with local healthcare professionals has been an important part of Arc since we first opened our doors in 2007.
Therapy at Arc is individual and shaped around you. We will take time to understand what has happened, what you would like to be different, and what might help. Our therapists work in a relational, integrative and trauma-informed way, drawing on different therapeutic approaches according to your individual needs.

ARC: AN OASIS
Since opening its doors in January 2007, Arc has remained committed to providing compassionate, accessible and affordable therapy within the local community. Our approach is deeply relational: we believe that feeling heard, understood and supported can help people find their own way through some of life's most difficult experiences.
We hope this website will help you understand more about Arc, the support we offer, and whether we might be the right service for you.
Arc is an independent charity and relies on fundraising and donations to help subsidise the cost of therapy for local people.

Matt's fundraiser for ARC
Matt Waters will be walking the 5km course of Seaton parkrun alongside a host of people running in the weekly event. If you are thinking that there is nothing noteworthy about this, think again, as this will be the longest walk he's attempted since losing both his legs to sepsis in November 22'.
We are super grateful that Matt has decided to raise money for Arc. Click on the link and read all about Matt's story and please donate and support if you can.
Good luck Matt!
