Professional Counselling in Newton Abbot
I have dedicated my professional life to the practice of counselling, driven by a profound belief in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship. With extensive experience spanning private practice, NHS primary care provision, and Employee Assisted Programmes, I have cultivated a deep understanding of the diverse challenges individuals face. My approach is rooted in a Person-Centred philosophy, enriched by integration with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques, ensuring each client receives tailored support. Accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and registered with the UK Register of Counsellors, I maintain rigorous professional standards. My work extends beyond individual therapy to include supervision for counsellors and training, reflecting a commitment to advancing therapeutic practice.

I specialise in trauma therapy, including Narrative Exposure Therapy and IARTT techniques, and hold professional indemnity insurance to ensure client safety. My practice addresses issues such as anxiety, bereavement, depression, relationship difficulties, and stress, offering a confidential space for clients to explore their unique circumstances. I have tutored at Devon Counselling College for over a decade, sharing my expertise to nurture future practitioners. My therapeutic philosophy prioritises respect, empathy, and empowerment, guiding clients towards self-discovery and improved well-being. I am committed to ethical practice, regular supervision, and continuous professional development to maintain the highest standards of care.
