Elders (65+) Counselling in Modbury

With over 10 years of experience, I help adults and young people get back on track, when people find themselves emotionally overwhelmed, suffering from the physical symptoms exacerbated by anxiety or stuck in a cycle or behaviour or thought they struggling to get out of themselves. I help them feel better, feel more confident, calmer, and from that point develop the resources or skills they need, or make changes in life, so that they keep improving into the future.

I'm Megan. Life can throw unexpected difficulties in our direction at any time & things can get tough making you feel anxious, fearful, sad, trapped or alone causing you to struggle & feel you cant find your way out-you are alone. Picking Up the Pieces can help you to understand your situation better, together we can find ways forward, enhance choices to regain control & achieve a happier you.

It can be scary making the first steps to looking for a counsellor and it also takes a lot of strength and bravery. Sometimes life events can leave us with a feeling of being stuck. This could be because of fear, anxiety, stress or underlying trauma that prevents you from finding the strength to move forward and heal. I believe by being able to learn to connect back to our feelings and our true selves, learning to listen and trust ourselves will not only help us understand who we are but also what we want and deserve which is to be loved, valued and happy.

Are you struggling with a sense of meaninglessness, isolation and hopelessness, leading to feelings of fear and anxiety? Often we seek therapy when we start to become aware of being stuck in the same old patterns but have no idea of why or how to change things. Perhaps you are facing significicant challenges in your life - major life changes like divorce, redundancy, bereavement, illness or loss and you're stuggling to navigate your way through it? Or perhaps you are trying to cope with the effects of past trauma. Life has become unbearable and you're struggling to find a way forward. You want and need something to change?

You may be living with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, low self esteem, relationship or family issues. I can offer a supportive space, in which we can explore whatever thoughts, feelings, behaviours or circumstances you may be facing. Together we will develop a better understanding of yourself and others. We will explore solutions – whether that’s making effective changes in your life or finding ways of coping with problems that have no solution. My aim is to carefully guide you whilst giving you a sense of agency to move forward with your life.

I am deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to follow my calling and retrain from my initial career in physical metallurgy to become a counselling psychologist. I value the trust placed in me over the past 24 years by clients from diverse backgrounds during their challenging times.

Are you affected by anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger or addiction? Are you overwhelmed or disheartened by difficulties relating to life challenges or changes? Do you need support to re-think or repair a relationship, or to reassess priorities or work-life balance? If so, I can help. My aim, if you choose to work with me, is that you will leave each session feeling a little better, more hopeful and more confident in your ability to recover, or make the changes that you would like to see in your life.

Psychotherapy is my passion and I feel privileged to meet every new client and journey with them. I reach out to help people in a safe, calm and confidential environment. I will be journeying with you, sharing your view and taking a leap of faith into the unknown with you. Here you can feel free, to be yourself. To be just as you are. To be understood without judgement. To see another perspective and be open to possibility. I am committed to helping you to gain a greater knowledge and understanding of yourself, to enable you to make the positive life changes you want and to have greater skills at managing life's challenges.

I am an experienced counsellor offering sessions to individuals and couples as well as separated parent mediation. I offer you a welcoming, confidential and supportive space. To sessions I bring compassion, kindness and warmth. I am here to help you navigate life and support you through the challenges that come along. Our sessions are an opportunity for you to talk about things that have upset or unsettled you, to articulate feelings that you have. Sessions are a space for you to understand yourself, make sense of relationships and to reflect on why you experience the world as you do.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner offering one to one EMDR therapy to adults. In our time together, we would aim to develop a shared understanding of your life - its significant events and relationships - and to explore the ways these may have led to certain strengths and vulnerabilities. This kind of understanding can itself help people to feel very differently, and to start to make changes in their lives. Further and deeper changes become possible when we work on processing difficult events that may still be exerting an influence, and by developing techniques to deepen self-compassion.

I am an Integrative Counsellor combining different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of the client. I worked as a Senior Counsellor and Supervisor at a CIC in Plymouth for many years.

I offer a safe, warm and supportive environment and my natural intuitive ability and creativity serve the therapeutic process.

Losing someone close to you can be one of the hardest things you will experience in your life. Leaving you feeling isolated, lost and as if life will never be the same again. I have lots of experience of working with clients who are struggling in their grief to help them come to terms with what has happened, make sense of how they feel and look forward to their future. I have particular experience supporting women and their partners who have had pregnancy related grief/crisis from working within a Plymouth based charity for six years.

I am a compassionate and dedicated counsellor/psychotherapist committed to guiding individuals and couples on their journey towards mental and emotional well-being. Having worked within a Bereavement agency, an agency for victims of sexual violence and within Relate I bring a wealth of knowledge and empathy to my practice. Using an Integrative model, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual. I seek to help clients navigate life's challenges, overcome obstacles, and cultivate a greater sense of self-awareness and resilience.

It is never easy taking the first step asking for help when you are struggling with life. We place ourselves at the bottom of list when it comes to our own well-being. Have you reached a point where you are beginning to notice your mental health is starting to impact those around you or maybe you no longer enjoy the things that used to bring you joy. Maybe your physical health as changed, are you distant and withdrawn towards others, or maybe you put on an "act" when you're around others to avoid others seeing you as you really are. Or maybe you wish to develop a greater self-confidence, or tools to cope more effectively with life?
