About me

Mandala counselling and psychotherapy offers a quiet, comfortable and private environment for couples & individuals to safely share and explore anything that is troubling them.

As a professional accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society and an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, I offer therapy/counselling sessions for individuals and couples and can help with a wide range of issues using a highly adaptable, sympathetic approach and effective techniques that have been proven to help with difficulties such as:

Relationship issues (couples therapy)
Depression, anxiety
Low self esteem
Anger and emotional regulation
OCD and intrusive thoughts
Managing ADHD
Addictions (in their many forms)
Past trauma and developmental childhood trauma
Finding meaning
Coping skills and more...

Mandala is situated on the edge of Dartmoor, Devon in a lovely rural location only a few minutes from the A38, serving Plymouth, Ivybridge, Exeter, Cornwall and all surrounding areas. Ample free parking is provided with disabled access and facilities.

Areas of interest

I use a variety of methods and techniques to help clients make sense of, move forward or take a new direction in their lives, and favour a flexible and tailored attitude and approach which deeply respects individuality. My aim is for clients to find their own truth, wisdom and strength and I find that combining latest methods and research with time-honoured practices, is often the best way to achieve this.

Person-Centered, relational values run throughout the work, and some of the methods and practical tools I use are:

Mandala Interior
Insight - Solution
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
MBCT (Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy)
Mindfulness and Meditation
Creative exploration
Writing Therapy
Compassionate inquiry
Psychodynamic exploration
Creating change and acceptance
Insight & communication tools - couples
Body based tools

I believe therapy is more effective in person, but online appointments can be arranged.

I work with all adults over the age of 16.
