Counselling Services at Elm Counselling
Elm Counselling offers professional counselling for when life feels overwhelming.
A place for calm and reflection
I offer face to face sessions from my counselling room at my home in Landkey, Barnstaple or online sessions UK wide.
I offer a free 30-minute exploratory phone call. This gives us a chance to get to know each other a little, talk about the reasons you’re considering counselling, and see whether I feel like the right fit for you. You can then decide if you’d like to book a first session.
Just some of the areas I can support you with…
Anxiety
Anxiety can show up in many ways — racing thoughts, constant worry, restlessness, or a sense of being on edge. It can feel exhausting trying to manage it alone. I offer a gentle, understanding space where you can explore what’s driving your anxiety and learn ways to calm and ground yourself. Together, we’ll work towards reducing overwhelm, building emotional resilience, and helping you regain a sense of control and ease in daily life.
Depression
Living with depression can feel heavy and isolating, making even small daily tasks feel overwhelming. In our sessions, I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space to explore what you’re experiencing and what may be contributing to these feelings. Together, we can work towards understanding your emotions, rediscovering hope, and finding gentle steps to help you reconnect with yourself and the things that bring meaning and balance back into your life.
Trauma Counselling
Experiencing trauma can leave lasting effects on how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. In our sessions, I offer a calm and supportive space where you can begin to make sense of your experiences safely and at your own pace. Working together, we can explore how trauma may be showing up in your life today, gently rebuild a sense of safety and trust, and support you in reconnecting with your self-worth and inner strength.
Stress
Stress can build up gradually, leaving you feeling tense, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. In counselling, I offer a calm and supportive space to pause and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we can explore the pressures you’re facing, understand how they’re affecting your wellbeing, and find healthy ways to restore balance and calm — helping you feel more in control and better equipped to manage life’s demands.
Neurodiversity
I offer a supportive and understanding space for neurodivergent clients and for family members seeking to better understand and navigate neurodiversity. Whether you or your loved one are living with autism, ADHD, or other neurodivergent traits, counselling can help explore the challenges, strengths, and emotions that come with these experiences. Together, we can work towards self-acceptance, improved communication, and finding practical ways to support wellbeing within everyday life.
