Hello, I'm Basia Louise. I'm an experienced Counsellor/Psychotherapist and Humanist/Clinical Supervisor and a member of BACP with a private practice in Newton Abbot. I believe one of the most important aspect in counselling, is first, in choosing the person you'll do your best work with and then in the building of that theraputic relationship of trust. I offer an open, caring, safe and non judgemental space where I help people get to the root of what is causing their problems and support them in discovering ways to change their lives for the better.

Identifying the thoughts, feelings and inner struggles that are holding you back can be daunting, but my role is to walk alongside you, enabling you to find clarity, calm, and good mental health. Central to my counselling ethos is the importance of creating a safe, non-judgemental place, where you are free to be yourself, and to explore any aspect of life that is important to you.

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 believe in the transformative power of being truly heard and reaching greater understanding, with someone who meets you with kindness.
So whatever it is that brings you to therapy, I hope we will build a trusting relationship where you feel free to explore things openly together.
I am pleased to offer walking and nature therapy - this is a usual psychotherapy session but outdoors in a natural setting.

Ever considered having a biker as your counsellor? My aim is to recreate the supportive environment one would get around a campfire with the added calmness of a cruise in the countryside. Lets take a journey together. I am down to earth and human.
Sometimes throttle therapy doesn't work and we need a little extra support.

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.

Hello - I'm Shelley.
I offer a compassionate and supportive space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and understood. You can find me in Seaton Valley, Cornwall, near the beach. Like the ocean, the mind holds both familiar shores and hidden depths. Through our work together, I’ll help you gently navigate your thoughts and emotions, uncover patterns, and find greater clarity and healing. This journey isn’t always easy—self-exploration can sometimes be challenging, bringing up difficult emotions or uncovering old wounds. But you don’t have to face it alone.
