Monika Walde

Hello and a warm welcome.

We can experience life as easy-going, wonderful and enjoyable. However, there can be times when we struggle and find it hard to go through life or to cope with challenges. During these times it can be difficult to reach out and to talk to someone. This can feel quite lonely. As you are looking for a counsellor, you are taking the first step to no longer facing your difficulties on your own and to seek some help. 

You may also seek counselling out of curiosity to understand yourself better and to use it for your own personal growth.

There are common reasons that brings people to counselling; however, each individual's story is different. I recognize and value the uniqueness of each person and their experience. Hence, this is integrated into my practice as a counsellor. I will offer you a safe space to share your story and to feel listen to. A space where you feel able to say how it is and you feel understood without being judged. I will be genuine and together we can explore what you bring to our sessions.

I have a strong belief in humans' abilities to change, to grow and to heal and I feel positive that counselling can facilitate this. 

My experience as a counsellor includes working with people aged 16 and older, people of different genders, ages, abilities and ethnicities. 

My background is in working with young people and families. I have a wealth of understanding of child development including the impact of childhood trauma.

Whatever your reason is to seek counselling, please feel welcome to contact me. 

 I look forward to hear from you.

I offer face to face as well as online counselling. Face to face counselling can take place in a counselling room or  we meet outdoors for Walk and Talk counselling sessions. 

With regard to Walk and Talk sessions: Our initial consultation and first session will take place online or in a counselling room. After that we will meet outdoors for Walk and Talk sessions in the Taunton area.
