I currently have availability for 1:1 clients both in person and online.  I see people both in Ashburton and Dartington.

I charge a sliding scale of £50-70 a session (1 hour)

I am an experienced counsellor and trauma informed therapist working one to one with clients both in person and on-line and facilitating in person therapy groups.

I’m a registered social worker and I’ve held a number of different frontline and management roles in Children’s Services locally.

Most of us at some time in our lives have found life is not going how we had hoped. Perhaps we have something unresolved from the past or a life event has knocked us off our tracks. Talking things through with a skilled therapist can help to share the burden, reframe things and find ways through to new possibilities. I experienced the beneficial power of counselling at a difficult time earlier in my life. To be supported and listened to fully in a non-judgemental way by someone outside of your personal situation is different to talking to a friend or family member. It provides you with a confidential space to unpack things that may be troubling you and look at things in a new way with the support of a trained therapist.

Seeking help for a particular issue you may be facing in your life takes courage and it’s important to find the right person to provide that support. That’s why I offer a short telephone consultation so we can both get an idea if working with me will be the right fit for you. You can phone, text or email me to set this up.

I bring a warm and caring approach to our work together. I’m interested in meeting you where you are and supporting you to address any issues that are holding you back from living the life you want to live. This usually means exploring and reconnecting with your feelings, long held beliefs and any echoes from past experiences that impact on your present life and influence your future.

I work integratively using my skills, knowledge and experience in ways to meet the needs of my clients. My training in Humanistic Counselling was a pluralistic training grounded in Person Centred Counselling, and drawing on other methods such as Gestalt therapy and body process. This was experiential with an emphasis on personal development and practical skills.

More recently I have trained in Pesso Boyden System of Psychotherapy, which is a body based/ somatic method bringing together psychodynamic theory, systems theory and neuroscience. This enables me to work at depth and with a profound understanding of how to work with difficult feelings, behaviours and emotions.

Through my own journey of personal development I have experienced different types of therapy and movement practices, including Voice Dialogue (similar to Internal Family Systems), Psychodrama and Family Constellations, which also influence my practice. My one to one work is integrative drawing on different methodologies to meet the needs of my clients. I continue to learn and deepen my understanding through attending further training and my reading.  In line with best practice, I also attend my own personal therapy and supervision.
