In-person counselling in Plymstock, Plymouth, and secure online counselling across the UK.
I’m an integrative counsellor offering counselling in Plymouth and online. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation rather than something you have to get right.
Whatever has brought you here, I’ll meet you where you are. Together we’ll explore what’s happening, make sense of the things that feel difficult, and work towards the changes that matter to you.
The relationship between you and your counsellor matters. Finding someone you feel comfortable with is important.
Everyone’s reasons for coming to counselling are different.
Here are some of the areas I often support people with.
When life feels like too much, even simple things can become difficult. Together, we can explore what’s contributing to that overwhelm and find a way forward that feels manageable.
When your mind won’t switch off, even small decisions can feel exhausting. Counselling can help you slow things down and understand what’s driving the worry.
When you’ve been holding everything together for so long that you no longer know how to switch off, counselling can offer the space to rest, reflect and begin to recover.
Grief changes us, and it rarely follows the path we expect. Whether your loss is recent or many years ago, counselling offers a space to grieve without pressure or time limits.
Whether you’ve been diagnosed, you’re beginning to question things, or you’ve simply recognised yourself in what you’ve been reading, counselling offers a space to explore your experiences without judgement or pressure.
Sometimes there isn’t one big problem. You may simply feel lost, disconnected from yourself, or unsure where to go next. Counselling can help you make sense of where you are and where you’d like to be.
You don’t have to fit neatly into one category. You’re welcome to bring whatever feels important to you.
Sometimes there isn’t one clear reason for reaching out.
You might feel overwhelmed by everyday life, stuck in patterns that no longer feel helpful, or exhausted from trying to cope on your own. You may have been telling yourself you’ll feel better soon, yet things still don’t feel quite right.
Whatever has brought you here, you don’t need to arrive with the right words or a clear plan. We can begin wherever you are.
You don’t have to face everything on your own.
Starting counselling can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve never had therapy before. From arranging an introductory call to your first session, I’ve explained exactly what working together looks like, so you know what to expect before you get in touch.
There’s no pressure to have everything worked out before you begin.
