Therapy with Thea

Do you feel that your potential in life is hindered by past or present difficulties or trauma? Has your equilibrium, confidence, and self-esteem been affected by these challenges? Do you often feel disempowered and unable to move forward?

Life's difficulties can sometimes prevent us from forming healthy relationships with ourselves and others, making it hard to thrive in life, work, and with friends, family, and partners.

I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist trained by the Karuna Institute, specializing in mindfulness-based trauma-informed psychotherapy.

I work to support adults and young adults (18 and over) who are experiencing mental and emotional distress, helping them to find more ease, balance, and meaning in their lives. I also work with couples and a wide range of relationships, including married partners and those in romantic relationships, as well as siblings, parents and adult children, colleagues and friends

I work with stress, depression, sadness, anxiety, grief, difficulties sustaining relationships, PTSD, neurodivergence, trauma, abuse, sexual abuse, disordered eating, insomnia, low self-esteem, relationship issues, family trauma, family estrangements, sibling trauma and abuse, climate and global anxiety, to name a few.

Neurodivergence:

I provide a supportive, affirming space for neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism (ASD), tailoring therapy to each person's unique strengths, needs, and experiences.

Transpersonal Therapy:

For clients who are seeking spiritual or existential therapy, I also work with dreams, the imaginal, and the transpersonal

Get in touch

I always offer a free first exploratory meeting so you can see if my approach feels right for you. This session will be a one-off session lasting around 45 minutes. There is no obligation to continue, and anything you share will be held in confidence. 

Location

I work from a cosy cabin in my garden in Totnes, Devon and am easily accessible from a range of locations, including Dartmouth, Salcombe, Plymouth, Exeter, Dartington, Dartmoor, and other locations in South Devon and the South Hans. I also work online for those living further away.

How it works

I offer medium- and long-term psychotherapy work. Sessions are on a weekly basis, at the same time each week, and last for one hour.

After the first six sessions, we will see how things are going and whether it feels useful to continue working together. After that we can continue to review our work together periodically.

A Little More About My Approach

I have a Post-graduate Diploma in Mindfulness-based Core Process Psychotherapy, which integrates ancient and current contemplative understandings with modern psychotherapeutic theories. All my work is trauma-informed.
