Online Counselling for Tiverton

Counselling can seem a challenge if you have never sought this kind of help before, but my aim at the outset is to provide the beginnings of a therapeutic relationship which can open the door to an exploration of experience of the past, as well as the present. The aim of therapy can be specific, or obscure, but together we will work towards an achievable goal. I work intuitively, but with firm boundaries which keep us both safe within a very special relationship. Therapy can be long term, or short term, but it is the client who decides what number of sessions is going to be most beneficial.

Hi, thank you for visiting my profile. We all struggle at times with difficult and overpowering emotions. There can often be underlying reasons which we're not able to control or fully understand without help. Together we would look at your unique experience of life and how that is affecting both yourself and those around you. Sessions appeal to those looking to create changes, whilst knowing that a safe and kind therapeutic relationship will provide support and guidance along the way. Ultimately, we seek to find relief and peace from renewed personal balance and healthy forward momentum.

Newid pronounced "Nowed" is Welsh for change. I chose this name not only to reflect my heritage but also to reflect that change is the only constant in life. We all travel with it, yet all our experiences can be profoundly different. I believe that counselling is a collaborative process in which we work together on what you want to change or explore in a safe non-judgemental environment. I offer an integrative approach where we work side-by-side to understand your past and help you discover new ways of coping and moving forward. I recognise that courage is not fearless and making the 1st step can be challenging in it's self.

Counselling and Psychotherapy can help you feel more in the driving seat of your life, lowering anxiety and increasing your wellbeing. I have worked in the field of mental health and wellbeing for thirty years and focus on children, adults and families. Life today places many demands on us that can be distressing and overwhelming. Traumatic events can leave us lost and unable to recover. Sessions offer the ability to manage emotions, overcome symptoms and focus on what is important to you.

In my experience people seek therapy because they feel desperate, and hold off on spending money on therapy until they absolutely have to, with this in mind I will do my best to offer a quick appointment using a variety of options - phone, online or home visit . All with sliding scale prices. If you have awful feelings that have taken all the joy out of life, maybe event stop you from thinking life is worth living, I'm asking you to give therapy a try because often, using small steps, given the right support, things can get better.

I'm a Relationship and Couples Counsellor because I believe - and I know from my own experience - that the impact of either a nourishing or a difficult, draining relationship affects our whole lives and how much we are able to engage with the world as our best selves. A crisis, an ongoing difficulty, or just loss of connection can make us feel hopeless and stuck and our sense of well-being is lost. Feeling hopeless with your intimate and sexual relationship can feel lonely and isolating. I will create a safe and unbiased space in which to explore what you are longing for and what is keeping you from having the relationship you want.

People choose to come to therapy for many different reasons. You may have experienced a loss, be feeling stuck and wondering how to change your life; or perhaps be going through a life crisis, or having difficulties in your relationships. I offer particular insight for those who have experienced bereavement through the death of a child or pregnancy loss, or received a life changing diagnosis for themselves or their child. Simply being with a compassionate, professionally trained therapist who listens without judgement can be a powerful, healing and transformative experience.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Are the effects from anxiety or low self-esteem holding you back? I can support you through the difficulties that you are experiencing and help you to find the freedom needed so that you can live your best life. One of our natural instincts as humans is to connect with others and to find a place of safety. I want to offer you that place of safety and the rare opportunity of pure connection without judgments or demands. I want the shared space to be comforting so that you feel held and able to express yourself fully without fear.

Making the decision to approach a counsellor is a huge step and knowing which therapist to choose can be overwhelming. From the outset I will aim to put you at ease and work collaboratively with you to help you address your problems. By enabling you to speak openly about what is happening in your life, I will join you in exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to help you find lasting change and a different future. I offer both short and long term therapy. We will discuss your needs at the initial session and come to an agreement about what is best for you. No one need attend any more sessions than they feel is appropriate.

I am a UKCP Trainee Psychotherapist. I offer an initial 50 minute session free of charge to help us to decide whether we would like to work together. You might be coming to see me about a specific issue, such as a bereavement, loss, anxiety or relationship problems. Perhaps difficulties from your past are causing problems in the present. Maybe you are feeling stuck or have a sense that something in your life doesn't feel right, without yet knowing what is wrong. Perhaps you are struggling with your sense of self or with your relationships, or are noticing patterns in your life that are unhelpful. Do contact me, and let's talk.

Everyone is an individual person bringing their own personal circumstances to the meeting. I will listen to your reason(s) for being at the session and what you want to achieve/where you want to aim to be - offering you help & support in that process. My counselling training was at Addaction (alcohol & drugs dependency) Agency where I completed over 100 hrs of sessions and a Mentoring role. I also trained at Cruse Bereavement Care & progressed from there. My Counselling Diploma is in CBT & Certificate in Christian Counselling are from the Institute of Counselling of which I am a full Member. I take an holistic approach.
