I am a Integrative Counsellor based in Plymouth, Devon.  My services are Face to Face, in PL1 or Via Zoom or Telephone Counselling. 

 

I here to work with you using a range of Counselling Theories, from Person-Centred Counselling, to Psychodynamic Therapy. I personally believe combining more than one approach provides my clients, a more effective journey of self reflection, self discovery and personal growth. We are all unique and one approach can be a perfect fit for one client, yet the next client, two approaches are more suitable for their counselling journey.

 

2025 I have taken the leap of faith to create my own business Tomorrow's Land Counselling Services.  I am pleased to offer counselling support locally in Plymouth Devon, and online support through Zoom across the UK.

 

My Counselling Journey

 

 

My journey of retraining as a Counsellor began after I was made redundant from a job I loved for 10 years, working as an Assistant Community Library Manager. Followed by a succession of life events a Divorce, Financial Struggles, and Bereavement which I struggled to process on my own. I sought some support from a Counsellor. The invaluable support I received, fulled in me a desire to retrain to place myself in a position to offer Counselling Support myself. I qualified as a Integrative Counsellor in November 2024.

 

I have life long experience of providing emotional support. I can't go anywhere in life, without strangers opening up to me telling me their problems.  I gained invaluable counselling experience from my role as a manager, as well as a girl guide volunteer. For the past year I have volunteered as a listener. I've gained lots of insight into the challenges people are facing, and how to delve deeper into individuals troubles, to help individuals untangle themselves from them. 

 

I believe my own personal challenges, working through them and  moving on from them. Provides me with a wealth of personal experience of having navigated through my own inner struggles. I'm a Counsellor who considers myself to  be empathetic, kind, compassionate, and a great listener.
