Counselling in Tavistock

UK wide service. Do you feel tired of your self criticism? Does it bring you down or create worry? I can help you develop a different relationship with yourself. One that will help you move forward in life with courage, wisdom and warmth.

People sometimes think counselling is only for those who have experienced severe trauma. It’s not. My clients don’t always know the cause of their discomfort. They just know that something isn’t quite right. I’m a firm believer that everyone can benefit from counselling. My clients come to me for a variety of reasons. Some want counselling to recover from childhood trauma, domestic abuse or physical violence. Others feel isolated, alone and unheard. Perhaps you’ve experienced bullying, low self-esteem or suicidal thoughts. Many of my clients don’t really know what’s wrong. They just feel burdened, unhappy or ‘stuck’.

Unexpected situations can leave us feeling confused and overwhelmed. Have you lost sight of your purpose? At a crossroads? Are you dealing with workplace issues, relationship problems, sudden death or illness of a loved one, children leaving home or other difficult scenario? It takes courage to admit that we are not okay. At times like these it can be helpful to talk and be properly listened to and heard in a safe and confidential space. That’s what I can offer you. Talking helps.

Welcome - I offer face to face, online and telephone counselling for anxiety, depression and trauma to adults and young people. I aim to provide an empathic, safe and confidential space to help you explore whatever is on your mind and support you to identify your needs and how to move forward. I work flexibly to help you in your process of gaining clarity and deeper understanding of yourself, so that you will experience a greater sense of wellbeing. I am also a qualified Counselling Supervisor.

Do you feel like something needs to change but you don’t know how? Does that change seem impossible? Whether you feel overwhelmed, stuck, angry, alone, anxious or unaware of what is happening to you, I can help you to make that change. To become more like the “old” you again, or maybe to find a “better" you, or even the "real” you. I help people with anxiety feel more relaxed, people pleasers find confidence and assertiveness, people affected by the past to overcome the legacy of their experiences, those who feel overwhelmed to find a calm space and the bereaved to grieve.

Are you aged between 12 and 25-years-old and struggling with your mental and emotional health? Do you need some counselling to help make sense of your life? If so, I could help. My name is Jeff and I have worked with young people in Devon and Cornwall since 2010 in variety of roles from youth worker, coach, mentor, trainer and now psychotherapeutic counsellor.

Hi, I’m Sarah. I became a counsellor as I believe in the healing power of the counselling relationship. Sometimes we can feel lost and alone with how we feel. Having someone to share and work through our thoughts and feelings with, in a safe, nonjudgemental environment can help us to make the changes we want to make and begin to move forward with our lives.

Are you finding life hard right now? Do you know something’s not quite right, but are struggling to make sense of what's going on? You may be experiencing difficulty in your relationships with others, either at work, or in the family. You may have noticed that it’s becoming harder to regulate your emotions, or impossible to make decisions about your own life. Talking to someone neutral can help you get back in touch with what you really feel, leaving you free to make the decisions you need to get back on track. Whatever your situation, I can help you make sense of whatever's going on, and support you in finding a way through.

I worked in the NHS in Mental Health for 20years before moving into private practice. My experience covers a wealth of various issues and aims to meet individual needs and goals. My practice is based arounds peoples wants/need and desire for change. Website: www.breakaway-sw.com

I offer an intuitive, integrative approach to meet your individual needs. I have experience in working with trauma & can offer body centred therapy to provide stability & provide safe & effective therapy. Simply being with with someone who is listening, deeply to what you are saying, can be a hugely supportive experience. We always simply start with where you are now, and work together, even when things are difficult, to find ways to move forward. Enabling you to live life more fully, with an increased sense of freedom & choice.

The most important thing first: No matter what place you’re in - there is hope for change and for things to get better. You may be reading this feeling vulnerable, disempowered, dejected, fearing disappointment or simply too overwhelmed to know how you feel. I'll meet you wherever you are and with whatever you bring and we can walk through your confusion and distress together. I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of people with an equally diverse range of individual challenges. Spending time exploring your challenges can bring clarity, empower you to break with old patterns and help you find a positive way forward.

Many people from all walks of life can occasionally lose their direction or can struggle with stress, anxiety, and /or depression. Therapy can be a helpful process to work through these difficulties, supporting you towards improved well-being and healing of emotional difficulties. Within our sessions, we will work towards your goals, focusing on taking the time to understand you and your individual needs. You will be heard with non-judgment, compassion, kindness and empathy. Together we will work to find a way forward to improved well-being in a caring and meaningful way.

Therapy offers a private and sacred space to think, feel and experience your true self. It explores your needs and processes feelings as they arise, and from this comes a new clarity of awareness. I sometimes think of it as coming out of the dark woods and into the light. This transformation of the self takes place at first within the therapeutic relationship. Being listened to unfolds a discovery of new insights, which activates the development of inner strength, resilience, resolve, and purpose, as it gradually releases you from the felt wounds you have been carrying, such as anger, confusion, sadness, grief, regret or loss.

Are you looking for a counsellor because you are feeling stuck and unable to stop behaving in unhelpful old patterns? You may have an idea of how you would like to be, but don’t know how to get there. You may find it hard to fit in and connect to people, feeling that everyone else is doing it better. You may be finding it hard to accept yourself as you are and be wondering what you have to offer. Anxiety and depression make it difficult to move away from this place. If you are on the autistic spectrum, these problems can be magnified. Finding a way out of this on your own can seem impossible.

Longing just to be heard? Without being judged? Feeling worthless? Dark thoughts? Looking for a safe environment with a person who will really hear you? I want to see and understand your world and your place within it - counselling provides an opportunity for clients to explore inner thoughts and critical voices that affect our day to day lives.

It will help you to reveal your potential and to come to a place of acceptance.
