"Hi, I'm Anna, a qualified and experienced counsellor working in Plymouth. I've worked with lots of women who've experienced pregnancy related difficulties, including, infertility, pregnancy anxiety, traumatic birth, PTSD, miscarriage, still birth and abortion. This also includes working with couples, if appropriate. I offer a safe, confidential and welcoming space, where you will be met with warmth and respect. People come to counselling for many reasons and in most cases there are a number of factors that combine to make life difficult and challenging. I have worked with lots of people who have brought a variety of issues. "

"Life is rarely straightforward and it's not always easy untangle things on your own. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to slow down and take a bit of time to look at the conditions of our lives. From there we can start to develop awareness of how we think, feel and respond to relationships and the situations we find ourselves in. Sometimes past circumstances can come to determine how we deal with things in the present. Psychotherapy aims to help us identify patterns and choose what to change. Working through issues in this way can create more choices in how we respond to others and the circumstances of our lives. "

"Hello. My name is Rachel and I work with people with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, abuse, loss, bereavement and relationship difficulties. Are you facing problems or issues which are hard to make sense of? Maybe you are feeling that things are never going to change? I would like to offer you the time and space to look at whatever is preventing you from living a full and satisfying life, and enable you to identify ways to bring about hope, change and healing. "

"At Three Rivers Counselling we provide counselling for many of the issues that you may face. From anxiety management to depression and trauma counselling, you'll get the most suitable solutions to your problems through our counselling and therapy. In the beginning, we would like to meet with you and have an informal discussion, before deciding on sessions and appointments. We can plan the sessions you require and decide how to help you based on regular feedback and progress. We will also provide a regular plan for sessions to suit your budget. If this is new, don't worry, we're here to help."

"Sometimes life as a parent can feel hard. Sometimes anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or trauma can prevent us from enjoying pregnancy and parenthood. This can be particularly difficult when everyone around us expects us to be happy. Many parents feel confused about whether they have "post natal depression," "PTSD" or whether how they feel is "normal". Working with me is about improving your quality of life. Whether you have been given a diagnosis that you would like to work on, you want to improve a relationship or you just want to enjoy your day to day life more I can help. "

"I am committed to helping you explore, examine and move forward in a way that is ideal for you. Nothing is too big or too small to bring to sessions. We can work together at a pace that suits you. Clients often work with goals or a focus on mind, others aren’t quite sure what they need or want to explore."

"I aim to offer a service which is as unique as you are! We all experience life in different ways and I do not believe that there is a one fits all solution that works for everyone. My belief is that we are the only experts on ourselves and that we do have all the resources we need to be happy and fulfilled in our lives, for some of us we just don’t know it yet or maybe we have just lost the confidence to believe in ourselves. I welcome you to explore and challenge your beliefs and values to help you find the best way in life for you, the one that fits and allows you to work towards that wonderful goal of being you again"

"With much lived experience and qualifications in counselling and psychology, I am able to create a safe space for you to confide your difficulties and problems, inviting you to share what concerns you most and in return to provide you with compassion and acceptance."

"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."

"Are you feeling lost, lonely, low? Need to talk? Life can be tough; you may feel vulnerable & find it hard to cope right now. Current issues may be difficult to manage, or there may deeper issues that are more complex, and affected you long term. It’s a really brave step to contact a professional therapeutic Counsellor, yet talking to someone outside of your immediate circle of friends and family can be really helpful. Making that first call or email can be difficult, but that first step can be a step into finding genuine support, hope for the future and help to carry on with life."

"Although all clients are welcome, I specialise in counselling adults and young people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autistic Spectrum Condition and Specific Learning Difficulties, e.g. dyslexia. I have been working with neurodiverse adults for over thirty years, first as a teacher, then as an assessor, and now also as a counsellor. Although obtaining a diagnosis can bring relief, people often have many painful memories of school days and work, of relationships, and of not understanding and being misunderstood. Life can seem complex and confusing and sometimes who we are and what we want can get lost along the way. "

"Clients access therapy for a multitude of reasons; there may be difficulties at work, challenges in a relationship or a client may have been abused spanning a number of years. My hope with therapy is to explore the roots of issues, to rediscover our innate resilience, to build self-esteem and to help you meet your goals, your hopes, your wishes. Many people access therapy because they want to feel different, to change the emotions they are experiencing, or for others it may be learning to access those feelings that have perhaps been locked away through trauma. "

"I am an experienced counsellor, having worked in counselling agencies, bereavement centres, schools and now for the past 10 years as a private practicioner.

"I specialise in helping people who have experienced frightening events, trauma or abuse, work through solutions to enable them to return to the life they once had. In some cases, this will be finding themselves for the first time. Trauma and PTSD can affect anyone that has experienced a potentially life-threatening event, or a serious injury, or witnessed one or heard about an event that has happened to a close friend or family member.
