How I work

I want you to know that I appreciate the investment of time and money and so believe in helping clients gain greater understanding and giving them the tools to help themselves, I offer:

• Psychoeducation - to help understand how things work - ie the brain

• A solution focussed approach - what are your strengths, building your own resources

• Coping and self-care skills

• Emotional Freedom Technique, that you can use at home.

• Creative sessions to help understanding and insight but these are optional and up to you!

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

I can offer a blend of in person and online. Please get in touch, Donna

I will put you at the centre of our work together and use techniques from different therapeutic schools so that I use the right approach that suits you.  I will help you work through things even when you may feel stuck.  I can also offer EFT Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) which provide you with self help tools, that you can use at home.  

So please do contact me.

Our first session we will explore what is going on for you, what you want to talk about is the best starting point, so just say what is on your mind....don't worry how it comes out, I will be there listening!

Counselling is about helping you understand how you really feel about things, it is about peeling 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 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

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.
