Welcome to Bude Counselling Room
Do you need to TALK? Need someone who will LISTEN?
We offer individual and couple counselling provided by a qualified counsellor with 20 years' experience.
I am trained in a number of modalities including Psycho-Dynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Person Centred Therapy. Take a look on my website at the testimonials sent by clients who have been seen by me personally and believe their lives have been changed by the therapy I offer.
Once these problems and your real feelings can be talked about you can come to experience your feelings very differently.
Advantages of Private Counselling:
•FLEXIBLE - Appointments at times convenient to you
•FAST - 1st consultation usually within one week
•FREE - Initial consultation
I aim to work with you in a way that is most suitable to your needs and the difficulties you bring rather than trying to fit you into one way of working. Because I have 20 years’ experience in more than one therapy I have a range of skills to do this.
Counselling may even be available free of charge, through your employer, please enquire for details.
As an Associate Member of BACP I am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, the Ethical Guidelines for Researching Counselling and Psychotherapy (where practitioners undertake research) and subject to the Professional Conduct Procedure for the time being in force

Our Counselling Room
Counselling is a therapeutic approach that often has a focus on an immediate or pressing problem and is usually short term.
This is often for a period of 6-12 weeks but in some cases it can be longer. Your counselling sessions will be held at regular intervals wherever possible and you will be clear as to the cost of your counselling at the initial consultation.
Your counsellor is non-judgemental and very empathic. You will no doubt feel that you are able to express your difficulties more effectively, without fear of any stigma, as you are given a very high degree of confidentiality. In the counselling sessions, you can explore various aspects of your life and feelings, talking about them freely and openly in a way that is rarely possible with friends and family. Bottled up feelings such as anxiety, grief, anger and embarrassment can become extremely intense and counselling offers you an opportunity to explore them, possibly making them easier to understand. Your counsellor will encourage you to express your feelings.
Experienced and qualified and yet I believe that your counsellor’s most valuable asset is life experience. Having faced and overcome many challenges in life, it has left a belief that helping others into awareness is not just a job, it is a passion and a way of life!
