CONFIDENTIAL COUNSELLING, PSYCHOTHERAPY & EMDR IN SIDMOUTH, EAST DEVON
"I want someone who will be patient and really listen to me without judging"
I became a counsellor, psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner because I care about people and want to make a positive difference to their lives. Sidmouth Counselling was formed with its primary aim being to enable you to discover a better way of living and coping. No matter what challenges or difficulties life throws at you.
Counselling offers a confidential space in which you can talk, This means that I don't discuss the content of our work with your GP, family or workplace.
There are many counselling services to choose from. The decision to open up and talk honestly with someone takes a lot of courage and trust. Making this decision can be both difficult and confusing. It’s important to have confidence that the therapist you select, not only has the relevant experience, but is also a person you can connect with.
