Counselling in TQ12

Do you feel stuck, hopeless or alone? You might feel that you've always been different, and find it hard to find your way in the world. I offer you as a client a promise of a warm, safe and friendly environment to explore issues that have been experiencing. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental service in which we can work through your difficulties together side by side. I understand it can sometimes be hard to see differently, and look forward to working with you to help you find some peace in your life. Your life can be different, and I want to empower you to live how you would like to and ease the burden of going it alone.

No matter what current life problems you are facing; whether they be emotional, physical, relationship, bereavement, trauma or employment related issues, talking it through with a qualified counselling professional can help you make sense of your situation and move forward.

Are you experiencing a prolonged, overwhelming sense of helplessness, depression and stress, resulting in you struggling to concentrate, make decisions and complete everyday tasks? Is your confidence, motivation and self-esteem at an all-time low and you feel you've lost your sense of identity? Is your pain from the past or your anxiety about your future numbing your enjoyment of your present? I offer a confidential, empathic and non-judgemental space to feel heard, understood and emotionally supported, helping you to make sense of any destructive or self-defeating patterns which may be holding you back.

Hello. I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor, offering sessions online and in person. I bring a warm and relatable approach, creating a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore your experiences, create an inner atmosphere of ease and acceptance and lean into a more expanded life. ​ My key training included Gestalt Therapy and Person-Centred Therapy and I'm also very much influenced by my extensive experience of mindfulness, meditation and relational inquiry. I have also studied and practise with Internal Family Systems (IFS) which forms a framework of much of my approach.

Do you sometimes feel that anxiety or constant worrying rules your life? Or you feel low and sad no matter what you may try to do to change how you feel? Or you find that relationships often start well, but then become complicated with emotions connected to ex-partners or past family issues? Or perhaps you are seeking greater clarity, peace of mind about a certain issue, or actually wanting to move towards a more positive future, searching for the route to free up your true potential? Counselling is an opportunity to speak and be really heard by an objective and compassionate listener.

Hello.... I am an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist (MBACP) based in Newton Abbot, Devon. Counselling is not only helpful for traumatic life events, it can also help when you are at a crossroads, feeling stuck or having a huge sense that life is not what it could be. I like to encourage my clients to explore their issues and work towards a better understanding of themselves and the world around them. Together we will look at finding your inner strengths so that you can build in them developing a greater self awareness. However, FINDING THE RIGHT PERON IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THERAPY.

I have learnt how life changing therapy can be. Working out and talking through my own difficulties has enabled me to work out what I need in order to live happily and has empowered me to cope when things get tough. I can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, anger, relationship issues, childhood trauma, trauma, abuse, bereavement.

Maybe the reason you are here today is because you are experiencing feelings that you would rather not continue to carry alone. My practice is called ‘Accanto’ and I have built my service around this name, which translated means ‘next to or beside,’ and quite simply that is exactly where I will be for you. I do have an A-Z of what I cover but actually this is about YOU feeling that you can bring anything you need into the space that I offer. Counselling is initially about feeling better about all the different parts of yourself, learning to love your whole self so that you can then invite love and acceptance from others.

I can offer you counselling support for the following issues: *Anxiety *Panic attacks *Depression *PMS self-care and coping strategies *Menopause *Health issues *Motivation *Insomnia *Social phobia *Low confidence and self-esteem *Body Issues *Self expression *Your creative self *Loneliness *Hoarding *Loss and letting go *Bereavement *Relationships *Family issues *Stress -work and exam stress *Making difficult life choices *Carers

I am a fully qualified and experienced therapist, a qualified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and a full member of BACP. I worked in the NHS for 6 years before moving to private practice about 8 years ago. I work with adults using IFS (Internal Family Systems therapy), talking therapy and creativity. I offer a safe, confidential and accepting space for you to bring the aspects of yourself, your life, relationships and/or events, past and present, that you are struggling with, that you wish to change in some way or that are getting in the way of your quality of life.

Hello, I'm Basia Louise. I'm an experienced Counsellor/Psychotherapist and a member of BACP with a private practice in Newton Abbot. I also volunteer with DCCP a not for profit counselling agency. 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.

I understand that the decision to have counselling is a big step which for many takes courage. It can be hard to decide which therapist to choose, amongst so many qualified and experienced professionals. I am pleased to say that the majority of my work comes from personal recommendations and some of my clients will return for further sessions when a need arises. I see every person I work with as an individual and our work is tailored to reflect this. As an Integrative Therapist I am trained in Transactional Analysis, CBT Principals, Person Centred Approach, Gestalt and Attachment Theory.

I work with individuals (adults, adolescents and children of all ages), couples, families and groups, who bring with them a range of life’s problems, challenges and possibilities. My aim is to encourage a deeper sense of self-awareness whilst focusing on the individual’s whole experience of life (behaviour, thoughts and feelings). Some clients bring specific issues to therapy: depression, anxiety, stress, sexual abuse, low self-esteem, relationship issues, eating disorders, low self-confidence, loss, unhappiness with work, home or life in general. I have an interest and experience working with people who have expereinced trauma.

I offer affordable integrative counselling, which helps with overcoming difficulties such as low mood, anxiety, poor self-esteem, bereavement and relationship issues. You may be lacking direction in your life at the moment, it may seem meaningless or you might feel low in confidence. Perhaps you are looking to find some clarity around what's important to you and to explore how you can bring more of this into your life? Or maybe you want to improve how you feel about yourself? Or perhaps you need a warm and compassionate space where you can fully feel your grief to be able to start to move forwards in life again?

I aim to assist you to make positive changes and move forward with your life. I am experienced in working with people who have struggled with feelings such as anxiety, anger, fear and loss. I will help you to understand your thoughts and feelings so that you can identify what needs to change, and work with you to find ways to overcome your difficulties using methods of working that suit you.

My work deals universally with the reduction of suffering, your suffering. Specifically this may include Depression, Anxiety, Low Mood, Loss of purpose, Grief, Relationship issues, managing change and family problems. Often we can be lost in our thinking and we can swing, like a pendulum, between worries of the past and anxieties of the future, never really pausing to be present now. This is normal, we all have these times. However sometimes, some of us get stuck in these places and need some guidance to bring us into balance and offer us support,at difficult times in our lives.

Life can often feel both difficult and overwhelming and I offer a peaceful, private and confidential space in which you can talk through some of the issues that might be holding you back or making life feel challenging. Maybe your relationship is feeling buried under family life or intimacy has dwindled. Perhaps you are feeling unhappy at work, or are navigating difficult life events like, divorce or bereavement. Counselling is your time to explore what matters to you. We can decide together what your goals are from counselling and how I can best support you using the very best of current theory, thinking and skills.

My aim as a coach and counsellor is to listen compassionately and empower you to make positive changes in your life and live the life you want by transforming your relationship with yourself and build confidence and self worth. Areas of interest and experience for me are childhood trauma, (narcissistic abuse, neglect and poor upbringing due to external events and inter generational trauma) neurodivergence, and stress management including anxiety. I offer alternative modalities to my clients to deal with stress, trauma and phobias including EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Reiki & Indian Head Massage, if required.

Are you struggling to make sense of your world, finding it difficult to get through your day? Do you feel out of step with everyone else? Are feeling alone and not sure what to do next? Have you had traumatic experiences that affect your present life? Do you have a feeling of impending doom that makes you wake up anxious? Do you want to self harm or end your life? Can you only manage by using drugs or alcohol? Do you have no one to understand or that you can talk to?
