I have seen Deborah as a psychotherapist on and off for several years. Having tried other…read moretherapists/counsellors I can honestly say she is the best I have encountered. She has a range of different approaches which means she can use whatever technique is most appropriate to the issue of the moment. I have found this very effective. Whilst she can ask penetrating, even challenging, questions from time to time, at no time have I felt unsafe or vulnerable with her when sharing some of my innermost secrets or fears. She always exudes a calm, caring and healing vibe but at the same time is highly observant and insightful. Her recollection of conversations from previous sessions, even years distant, is scarily good! You get out of it what you put in. Deborah helps you get the most out of it. I never came away from a session with her...not feeling better about things, or without feeling more optimistic or without a clearer understanding. You should always try a few therapists before settling on one that works for you personally. Try Deborah first. KD, Bath

In a nutshell, Claire facilitated breakthrough for me where no one else dared tread. Not only did…read moreshe exercise the powerful and rare ability to listen and love without judgment, but she backed up her compassion with sound advice that actually worked. Claire gave me permission to feel, permission to value myself. She shifted my attitudes and my lack of belief in myself. Claire made me stronger. Thanks to her, I began to give myself permission to no longer feel like a horrible person and a horrible mother in the midst of parental alienation. She let me know that I was on the right path. She called me courageous. She built me up. Do you know how rare that is? A person who builds you up? It's really powerful and that alone is transformational. Claire believed in me and gave me permission and room to start believing in myself and to look at things more rationally instead of being in the middle of tornadoes all the time. Claire was a potent force in helping me move from a life of drama, victimhood, hopelessness and paralysis to one of courage, determination and persistence. Today I consider myself strong. I value myself. Were it not for Claire, I don't know who I would be today -- or where I would be. She was a game changer. I'd rather not think of how my life would have turned out without her. --JBoo

From the owner: Relationship Life Coach. Please note I have recently moved…read morefrom NY, USA to Paignton, Devon, UK. Are you tired of not living your life, only surviving it? Depressed, anxious? Learn how to thrive again after sexual trauma and domestic abuse. I can help you. I know how it feels to heal from trauma, I have been there. It wasn't an easy journey, but one which helped me understand how and why I felt the way I did, from the depression, anxiety attacks and PTSD. It is the best gift you can give yourself, the understanding of who you are in the here and now, how you can change yourself and your life to be truly positive and uplifting. To be able to finally go to sleep at night, looking forward to the next day ahead. I understand how you feel, I was raped, was in a domestic violent marriage, was held hostage, stalked, lost everything financially, and experienced Parental Alienation. I found that we can recover, we are not our mistakes. Also. how can we have understood what abuse is/was if we grew up around it? How could we have chosen a healthy relationship? Are you ready to rekindle your inner sparkle?

I can honestly say I have never known anything like this place. The staff are so good at their jobs…read morethat I have never looked back since I left. I think it is because Western Counselling has never compromised on what they deliver; they haven't got diverted from their values by the latest trends in treatment or funding streams. They have a very high success rate, including me. They have very high standards here and that is very important. If you want to recover this is the place that will give you all you ever need to become who you want to be. I strongly suggest you pay them a visit, Sue

I booked Louise's combination package and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to…read moreexplore different therapy methods. It's awesome value and allows you to find out what works best for you and then go from there. From the outset, Louise's approach was reassuringly thorough and professional, but above all else, caring. Louise really does work on "mind, body and soul" in concert and I have found the results impressive after my first 3 sessions: there is a significant reduction in my anxiety, I feel more resilient and able to cope with stress and I'm enjoying an overall sense of improved physical and mental wellness. If you've found that "talking therapies" never have enough of an impact, I urge you to book with Louise. She's given me practical support and some things I can do proactively myself that make a difference every day. The Havening Techniques which were a mystery to me before my first session have proved the most beneficial. I found the experience emotional but fascinating and beautifully comforting. I'm looking forward to doing more.
