Trauma can affect every aspect of your life, from your mental and emotional wellbeing to your relationships and physical health. If you've experienced a traumatic event, whether it’s a recent experience or something from your past, I am here to support you every step of the way.

​

Trauma counselling services focus on helping you process and heal from the psychological impact of trauma, including conditions such as anxiety, depression and complex trauma. Each session is designed to help you understand your unique experience, offering the following:

​

A safe, non-judgemental space
I provide a warm, compassionate environment where you can feel heard and supported. Your experiences, emotions, and memories are respected, and you can speak freely without fear of judgement or stigma.

​

Personalised treatment plans
Trauma affects everyone differently. I, as a counsellor will work with you to create a tailored treatment plan that best suits your needs and goals and guide you towards healing in a way that feels comfortable for you.

​

Evidence-based techniques
West Devon counselling uses proven therapeutic techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focusing on the connections between feelings, thoughts and behaviours, Psychodynamic Therapy, which focuses primarily on clients self awareness and understanding the influence of the past on present behaviour,  and other mindfulness-based therapies. These methods help you to reframe negative thought patterns, process traumatic memories, and reduce emotional distress.

​

Building emotional resilience

Trauma often leaves individuals feeling overwhelmed or powerless. Therapy will help you to develop coping strategies and tools to build emotional resilience, so you can regain control and feel more grounded in your daily life.

​

​Healing and empowerment

Healing is a journey, and I am here to walk with you every step of the way. I will support you in identifying and addressing the root causes of your trauma, helping you shift from a place of pain to a place of empowerment and hope.

​

Ongoing support and growth

As you heal, I will continue to support your personal growth and wellbeing. Whether you’re working through trauma from childhood or a recent event, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your resilience. Over time, you’ll find the strength to move forward, free from the limitations trauma may have imposed on your life.

​

Trauma counselling isn't just about healing; it's about reclaiming your life and rediscovering your sense of peace, safety and purpose. If you're ready to take that first step towards healing, we’re here to help.

Grief comes in many forms, and no two experiences are ever the same. Whether you've lost a partner, parent, child, friend, or someone else close to you – whether the loss was sudden or expected, recent or years ago – it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure how to move forward.

​

Some losses carry layers of trauma, unanswered questions or complicated emotions, especially when someone dies by suicide. If this is part of your experience, please know that your grief is valid, and you don’t have to go through it alone.

​

As a counsellor – and someone who has experienced deep personal loss  – I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can speak openly about your feelings, no matter how painful or confusing they may be. You may feel sadness, guilt, anger, relief, numbness – or all of these at once. Together, we’ll explore your experience in a way that feels safe and respectful.

​

My role is to walk alongside you, helping you make sense of your grief, understand how it's impacting your life and find your own way to healing, one step at a time.
