I offer face-to-face, online counselling or can do a blend of both.  I offer weekly or fortnightly sessions mid week, day and early evenings.

My 'cosy' counselling room is in the centre of Plymouth.  There is parking nearby and it is on a main bus route

Hello there, I offer face to face counselling mid week and early evenings from The Crescent, Plymouth. I can also offer fortnightly sessions. As an experienced, qualified counsellor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional I can help you work through many issues. I will be right by your side as we explore what is troubling you. I can work with issues and the effects of negative childhood and adult experiences, such as relationship issues, low self-worth and assertiveness. I offer kindness, understanding and creative sessions to help gain insight and find the real YOU, process past experiences, identify patterns, triggers, activities to help build confidence and set new boundaries. 

I recognise that this is a big investment of time and money and offer fortnightly and early evening appointments.  I believe in helping clients gain greater understanding and the tools to help themselves and so offer:

• Psychoeducation - to help understand how things work - ie the brain
• A solution focussed approach - what are your strengths, building your own resources

I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation so you can make sure that I am the right person to suit your needs.

My counselling room is very central and there is parking close by. I can offer a blend of in person and online. Please get in touch, 

Donna

I will be actively listening and right by your side and will put you at the centre of our work together, this is your hour!    

Even when you may feel stuck, there is a way by me using techniques from different therapeutic schools and a humanistic approach,  

So please do contact me.

Donna 

In our first session we will explore what is going on for you and what you want to change.  I will help make you feel comfortable and relaxed so that you can feel safe as you say what has brought you to counselling.  What you want to talk about is the best starting point, so just say what is on your mind....however, you want to say it.

Counselling is about helping you understand how you really feel about things, it is about pealing back the layers to find the real you.  It is also about dealing with things in the here and now and so sometimes that can be upsetting, but I have tissues on hand!

I offer short-term and long-term counselling face-to-face, online counselling or can do a blend of both.

I have availability mid week, day and early evenings.
