my approach to counselling
I use a gentle approach to counselling paying attention to what arises in body and mind. When dialogue isn't enough I offer other ways of working through your issues, with visualisation, art materials and sand tray.
I work collaboratively with clients from an integrative humanistic and transpersonal perspective. An integrative approach helps me to offer you a variety of ways of working through your difficulties. Working collaboratively ensures that you feel supported to choose the approach that suits you at any given time.
I have particular experience of working with loss and bereavement, relationship problems, abuse, depression, anxiety, work-related stress, trauma and low self-confidence. I welcome any issues you want to bring.
I work with young people, adults and older adults, and have worked with clients of differing sexual orientation and from various cultural, religious and ethnic backgrounds.
I offer high quality therapeutic counselling skills, bringing maturity, compassion and curiosity to the counselling space. My aim is to support your journey towards more self-awareness and personal freedom.
how the sessions work
It's important that you find a counsellor with whom you feel comfortable. You are welcome to contact me by phone or email for a free consultation before you decide to make your first appointment. At the first meeting I will make an in-depth assessment of what your needs are at this time and discuss with you the length of therapy you need, whether short-term or long-term, and the kind of approach that may be best for you. Most of my clients come for weekly sessions but not all.location
My practice room is in central Totnes.
