I’m currently completing my Pluralistic counselling training with The Devon Counselling College and will be offering private counselling sessions from February 2026.

Until then, you can see me for counselling through The Devon Clinic in Paignton, where I am currently on placement. Their team can let you know my availability and explain the counselling package available for clients working with student counsellors.

Pluralistic Counselling

No single approach works for everyone which is why pluralistic counselling is built on flexibility and choice. It’s a therapeutic approach that combines different methods and techniques to create a plan that truly fits you.

At its core, pluralistic counselling is about collaboration. You are the expert on your life, and together we explore what feels most helpful and effective for you. This means your therapy is completely personalised—not a “one-size-fits-all” process, but something shaped around your unique needs, preferences, and goals.

How This Works in Practice

When you come to therapy, we’ll start by understanding what’s bringing you here and what you hope to change or achieve. From there, we’ll work together to choose the best approaches for you. Sometimes this might mean exploring things through conversation and reflection. Other times, we might integrate practical tools or evidence-based methods to support deeper healing.

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including:

Talking therapy – Offering a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your feelings and experiences
Hypnotherapy – Helping access the subconscious mind to create meaningful and lasting change
EMDR – Supporting the gentle processing of trauma and difficult memories so they lose their emotional intensity
Creative tools – Using sand play, guided imagery, or other techniques to help express and explore what words sometimes can’t capture

Because pluralistic counselling is collaborative, we check in regularly to see what’s working and adapt as needed. This way, your therapy always feels relevant and effective for where you are in your journey.

Why Choose a Pluralistic Approach?

Life isn’t simple and neither is healing. Pluralistic counselling allows us to respond to your changing needs, rather than sticking to one rigid model. It gives you choice, flexibility, and a voice in shaping the therapy that feels right for you.

Whatever you’re facing - grief, trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck this approach allows us to bring together the right tools to help you feel supported, understood, and ready to move forward.
