Monday to Thursday 10.00a.m. to 5.00p.m.

Is life getting you down at the moment? Does everything feel like a huge effort? Do you feel alone in the world, and that no-one understands you? 

 I'm Trish, an experienced counsellor with a warm and friendly approach. I can help to support you through your troubles in a kind, non-judgemental and caring way. Sometimes life can seem overwhelming, and counselling can help us to gather perspective and to understand ourselves more deeply. We will work through these difficult feelings together.

I work with adult clients in individual counselling, both online and face to face.

As a counsellor, I can offer you a safe and non-judgemental space to explore your current feelings. I can give you secure, confidential support to empower you to find a way forward in your life. As I am a registered Member of the BACP, I abide by their ethical code.

Currently I am offering online sessions only, but usually work face to face with clients in a clinic setting in Paignton.

My training is as an Integrative counsellor. This allows me to offer a flexible approach to working with you, appropriate to your needs and situation.

During our first session, we will talk through the factors that have caused you to seek counselling now, as well as practical details, such as session length, cost, timing and frequency. We will plan our future sessions in the form of a contract. There is usually some paperwork at this stage!

My first session is free or low cost, so that you have an idea of how I work, and if we feel that we can work together in a comfortable way. 

It is important to work with the therapist that is right for you, so if you decide that you would prefer not to continue, just let me know. There may be another person who is a better fit for you.
