What I Offer

I will provide a safe, kind and confidential place for you to discuss the issues that are troubling you.  We will go at a speed that suits you.  I may sometimes encourage you to stay with a thought or feeling that is uncomfortable. But it is your choice.  My aim will always be to get you to a point where healing can occur.  Sometimes this might take some courage, but some of the changes that I have seen have been transformational.  You will be supported all the time.

Specialisms

My strong sense is that counselling of the kind that I offer could help nearly everyone, whatever the challenge being faced. However, you may be looking for someone with specific expertise, knowledge or experience.  I am most familiar with the following issues:

  • Anxiety – feeling scared, worried or fearful

  • Stress – feeling there is too much happening, life is overwhelming

  • Depression – experiencing low mood, little motivation

  • Chronic illnesses such as fatigue – constant exhaustion, unexplained pain

  • Caring responsibilities – on occasions, this can give rise to all of the issues above

If you are experiencing any of these, or other difficulties in your life, we can talk about them. 

First Steps

The first thing we will do is have a free phone call in which I will ask you a few initial questions about your situation. You can also ask any questions you have. Then we will decide whether it seems like I’m the right person for you.

Counselling sessions are 1hr.  These can take place either face to face in Totnes, online or a mixture of the two. 

The fee is £60 for the hour.

For the face-to-face sessions, I usually work out of Little Priory Offices, on Fore St Totnes (see map location).  For the online sessions, I use Zoom.
