Hello, I’m Christine, and I welcome you warmly. I can appreciate that reaching out to a therapist might feel a little daunting. It may be that you are holding onto some painful emotions, or experiencing stress or anxiety. Or, that you really need someone to talk to who will listen without judgement and seek to understand what is going on for you. You might also be looking to find a work/life balance and explore realistic positive changes to support your well-being. Together we can explore what can support you right now, to gain understanding and insight, and discover ways to make the changes you hope for.

I work with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties including: relationship difficulties - with partners, family members, friends, colleagues; identity difficulties; career dissatisfaction and career change; bullying; bereavement; finding purpose in life; navigating big life changes such as re-locating and moving house; fertility issues; parenting; menopause; living with (or without) grown up children; and women focussed work.
I specialise in working with people who are parents, or planning on becoming parents. The experiences we have as parents can be enormously challenging - especially when breaking negative cycles.

I work with individuals on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully. Psychotherapy and counselling is often called the 'talking cure'. People often value such help during a time of transition and change, crisis or loss when it is difficult to know 'what to do'? I believe it is always possible to improve the way in which people tackle their problems and to use times of difficulty to make changes for the better.

My aim is to bring together effective approaches incorporating a variety of therapeutic models such as relational therapy, humanistic, psychodynamic, attachment theory, person centred and neuroscience. This will also depend on your individual needs. My experience also covers body psychotherapy and energy work along with solution based therapy and mindfulness. I offer both short and long term therapy and the length of therapy will depend upon the presenting issues and your wishes. Is there a particular problem you would like to talk through and explore? This could be to do with a relationship, work related or a repeating pattern.

Hi, my name is Natasha and I am an Intuitive Counsellor.
Intuitive counselling delves deep into understanding the difference between our conditioned mind and our intuitive self. The more we practice being present, the more we listen to our intuition, observing how our mind gets cluttered by past or future thoughts. When we live in the present, we become less controlled by our thoughts; we start seeing those unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This is a practice like any other as it is about re-training our behavioral patterns, creating that space of connection within ourselves, and learning to listen and trust our intuition.

Traumatic life events can create sudden, urgent need for support. Equally, therapy can be a planned act of self care, facing barriers to growth and happiness. 18 years practice with young people, adults, families & couples therapy has taught me how everyone has unique experiences and needs. My approach is integrative, tailored to each client. I draw on 7 years academic studies & continuous professional development including psychotherapy, counselling, CBT, DBT, trauma focused therapy, coaching, SFBT and a PgC in supervision. I am committed to providing a positive, rewarding experience for clients, supervisees and organisations.

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?

I'm an experienced counsellor working with adults, from a warm and comfortable room in the centre of Totnes. I support a lot of people who feel limited or stuck, often by habitual patterns of behaviour which started early in life and which have been reinforced over the years. This can show up in many situations, in relationship, in crises or during big life transitions, for example. Those patterns will have started out as protective, but may have become restrictive in adult life, and in need of an update, to allow for growth and forward movement.

In my experience we may all at times face hurdles too daunting to negotiate alone. I work with a wide range of issues focussing on clients who have suffered sexual abuse, as well as young people and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, depression and low self esteem. We may have issues and patterns of behaviour from the past that we are ready to leave behind. I offer a safe, confidential therapeutic space to be heard and feel safe. In some cases I work in the here and now, in others I believe in order to understand and find our inner resources to change present behaviour we need to delve into our past.

Most often, I work with clients who need a safe, confidential space to make sense of different types of relational hurt. In the first instance, I make plenty of time to for us to talk about and establish your goals for therapy, so we're both clear how you'd like things to be, how you’d like to feel and what it is you hope gain from the process. From this point, I see our work as a collaborative exploration in moving towards where you want to be, equipping you with the tools you need to find meaning, purpose and a greater sense of peace and ease in the world.

Whatever you may bring to or feel you need from counselling I offer a supportive, caring, warm and creatively held space for you to explore and be with all that is present for you. It may be that you need support to bring clarity and language to how you feel and behave or help to understand yourself better. You may be suffering from loss or bereavement or struggling to integrate other life experiences like the breakdown of a relationship or redundancy. You may be dealing with past experiences that have had a significant impact on your life and feel ready to explore this in a different way.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
