Therapeutic Counselling
What is Counselling?
Counselling provides a safe and non-judgemental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. It gives you a confidential and supportive place to help you navigate any challenges, past or present, you may be experiencing by allowing you to think and feel emotions with clarity and understanding. It can be short term or long term, the goal being to improve mental wellbeing.
My aim
I understand that seeking counselling can be daunting. My aim is to create a neutral, safe, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I am confident that you will feel at ease and ready to embark on your journey at your own pace. In my private practice in Torquay, Devon, my focus is to offer you the support that helps you heal, energise, and become aware of your inner strengths. Ultimately, this will empower you to regain control of your life and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and others.
I have experience working with the following issues:
Anxiety and depression, stress, grief, bereavement, PTSD, relationships, OCD, illness, Parkinson's Disease, eating disorders, substance abuse, self-harm, and self-esteem issues. I work with individuals, couples and children.
