About me
I know how hard it can be to reach out and get help. At times an issue can seem to take over all of your inner world and seeing a way through can be tricky. It might be an issue such as:
- anxiety and depression
- loss
- identity
- relationships in turmoil
- stress and overwhelm
Often it doesn't have a name, nor want one. It maybe a feeling that change is needed, but we just don't know how.
I can help. I offer integrative counselling, which means that I am flexible in my approach and trained in several schools of counselling and psychotherapy. Ultimately though, it will be your needs that decide how we work together. We will work out the therapeutic pace that suits you, and together find the steps you need to get where you want to go. Being fully NCS accredited, qualified and supervised means that I offer safe and confidential counselling with compassion and a non-judgemental attitude at the core of our work. You'll get my true sense and presence in our work, as well as my academic experience and training.
I offer both long and short-term therapy depending on your needs. I also offer a free half-hour initial consultation, either online or by telephone. I'm based in Paignton in professional rooms with easy parking and transport links. Lastly, I'm experienced working with age ranges from adolescents to all adult age groups.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
