Psychotherapy, EMDR, Counselling Supervision and Counsellor CPD in Honiton

As a BACP Senior-Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist, Supervisor and EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, I offer psychotherapy, counselling supervision, EMDR and counsellor CPD in Honiton, Devon. I have experience of working with the following issues, amongst others, (in alphabetical order):

  • anxiety and panic attacks
  • change and loss
  • depression
  • identity issues
  • over- and emotional eating
  • personal growth and fulfilment
  • relationship difficulties
  • self-acceptance--inner critic work
  • self-expression
  • stress and anxiety
  • surviving another's suicide
  • trauma and ptsd
  • workplace problems

    We all face challenges at various times in life. These may prevent our growth or throw us back into ways of behaving that don't seem true to ourselves. I am trained to help you remove blocks to growth and fulfilment as we work together to your agenda. Counselling can be a therapeutic and empowering experience in which you will let go of memories, beliefs and behaviours that do not serve you and discover and use your inner resources, experiment and develop new ways of coping and being in the world.

    "The point of therapy isn't to get rid of anything, but to help it transform." Richard Schwartz

    Why choose me as your psychotherapist

  • I am experienced in working with a range of people and a range of issues.
  • I am enthusiastic about therapy. I know from my own experience how difficult and yet how rewarding it can be to seek and use this kind of help.
  • I will view you as a healthy individual who may be experiencing temporary difficulty. My experience and training mean I am aware of the impact of trauma (whether developmental trauma from childhood or trauma of a one-off nature) and can help you heal from it.
  • I am flexible, creative and adapt the way I work rather than expecting you to fit into an existing one-size-fits-all way of working.
  • I will work collaboratively with you as a co-explorer helping you find and use your own abilities to heal yourself.
  • I am fully qualified, accredited and insured.
  • I have an up-to-date enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.

    • Working together
    An assessment process will form part of the initial sessions of therapy, during which time we will discuss your preferences, goals, symptoms, history and current circumstances. Together we will determine as best we can an approach to take to meet your goals. This will be reviewed regularly and adjusted accordingly. If necessary, I have colleagues to whom I can refer clients for other forms of therapy.

    Although I will be active in the therapy, as client so will you be. One of my favourite quotes regarding how (in particular) longer-term, in-depth psychotherapy works comes from Ron Kurtz in Body-Centered Psychotherapy: The Hakomi Method Updated Edition, p. 25:

    "Psychotherapy is healing and healing only happens to living organisms.
    You can fix a car or a bookcase, you can repair a television set or a computer--
    but you don't heal them. And they don't heal themselves. Only living systems heal;
    they don't get fixed or repaired or anything like that. An MD can set a fracture,
    but he cannot heal it. He must wait and see if it will heal. He can help, but he cannot heal.
    Healing is an act of self-recreation. One being cannot heal another.
    The other can only help or hinder. The organicity principle places the locus of healing
    and control within the client and the client-therapist relationship. The client's growth
    and unfolding, his or her answers and resolutions, completions and new directions,
    are all within. The therapist is there to help manage the process through which the
    client goes there and gets them."

    Also, part of my role as a psychotherapist is to make myself obsolete as I assist clients to self-heal and find their own inner resources for therapy and for life beyond therapy. If this is of interest, you might like to read a short reflective article I wrote which was published in Therapy Today, April 2010, pp. 30-31, called DIY Therapy.
