Hello, I’m Hermione, and I offer affordable in-person counselling and psychotherapy. I can help with a wide range of issues which include anxiety and panic attacks, depression, autism, ADHD and neurodivergence, bereavement, family issues, low self-esteem, and relationship problems. 

I will provide a space for you which is free from judgement but full of possibility, where you can explore the anxiety, difficulty, pain or sadness which brings you here. Maybe you are struggling to find meaning or purpose in your life, or perhaps you are feeling lonely or isolated. In our sessions you will be able to talk about whatever is on your mind; I am there to listen to you and be with you as you find your way through whatever is troubling you. 

My room in the Library Rooms, Totnes is a calm, peaceful and welcoming space. Dogs are welcome to come to your therapy session with you if you would find that reassuring. I believe in making therapy as accessible as possible, with a sliding scale of fees and flexible session times to fit around your schedule. 

I have particular experience of working with younger people. I have volunteered in a university counselling service and offer discounted sessions to those in full time education. I know that this can be an overwhelming and vulnerable time and am here to help you navigate through it.

The way I work is responsive to what you need; I have been trained to work integratively, which means that I can draw on aspects of different types of talking therapy to support you in the best way possible. I aim to work alongside you to understand how you are experiencing your day-to-day life, in the context of what has happened to you in the past and the choices you would like to make about the future.

I have specialised training in existential therapy, which encourages us to put the feelings we have about our lives into words and to understand the meaning of the thoughts, feelings, behaviours or symptoms you are experiencing. It can help with both immediate issues or challenges you are facing, and making sense of longer-term questions that have been troubling you over time.

Please contact me to arrange an initial session. From then you can decide to work shorter or longer term; my standard offer is weekly sessions but fortnightly work is also possible if this suits you better. Sessions will usually be at the same regular time, with some flexibility to fit around busy lives if necessary. My hourly rate is on a sliding scale between £30 and £50 depending on what you feel you can afford to pay. Sessions for those in full time education are charged at £20 per hour.
