Tash | Integrative Counsellor

Integrative Counselling Ottery St Mary

Hello, and a warm welcome.

I offer an anti-oppressive, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where all identities, backgrounds, and experiences are valued. Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Here, you are invited to bring your whole self — your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and hopes — and be met with care, empathy, and respect.

I see therapy as a collaborative journey, guided by openness, curiosity, and your unique needs. Together, we can explore how your inner and outer worlds shape who you are, gently uncovering strengths, tender places, and new possibilities for healing and growth. While therapy can sometimes feel challenging, it can also bring clarity, resilience, and even moments of lightness and humour.

I welcome everyone, and I have particular experience supporting people affected by rape and sexual abuse,adult survivers of Child sexual abuse, domestic abuse, trauma, anxiety, chronic illness and pain, baby loss, life loss, and grief. Whatever your story, I believe you already carry the wisdom and resilience you need, and our work together can help bring that forward.

My approach is integrative and flexible, drawing on Person-Centred counselling, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Transactional Analysis (TA), somatic awareness, and creative interventions. I work from a trauma-informed perspective, always respecting your pace, your safety, and your unique journey.

My own life experiences help me to bring a depth of empathy and compassion to my work, which creates a safe and trusting environment where you can feel supported as you take steps towards healing and change.

Online therapy

I offer online therapy sessions through Zoom and Microsoft Teams, providing you with flexible and convenient access to support from the comfort of your own home. You’ll just need a device with internet access and a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable talking. For those who prefer not to use video, I also offer phone therapy sessions.

Online therapy works much like in-person sessions — it’s a safe, confidential space where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals together, helping you move toward positive change at a pace that feels right for you.
