Supporting You with Counselling for Anxiety, Depression, Relationships & Stress in Devon
Life doesn’t impact everyone in the same way. That’s why Collaborative Counselling offers specialist, one-to-one therapy in Ivybridge, the South Hams and across Devon for the issues people seek help for most — from anxiety and low mood to grief, trauma, relationship difficulties and work stress. Sessions are calm, confidential and paced to you, either in person in Ivybridge or online across Devon.
Anxiety Counselling
Persistent worry, overthinking, restlessness, or panic in certain situations can be exhausting. Counselling helps you understand what drives the anxiety, calm your body’s response, and develop ways to manage it so it no longer controls your day. Sessions are available in person or online for clients across Devon who want practical, evidence-based support to feel more at ease again.
Depression & Low Mood
When motivation disappears and everyday life feels heavy, it can be hard to see a way forward. Counselling offers a safe, non-judgemental space to explore what’s behind those feelings — loss, burnout, relationship strain, or simply emotional fatigue. Together we’ll identify what helps you reconnect with meaning and balance, one manageable step at a time.
Stress & Burnout
Stress is part of modern life, but when it becomes constant, it can affect sleep, health, and relationships. Counselling gives you tools to slow down, regain perspective, and prevent burnout. Drawing on Nicky’s background in HR, we can also look at workplace pressures and boundaries to make sure you protect your energy while performing at your best.
General Wellbeing & Building Resilience
You don’t need to wait for a crisis to benefit from counselling. Many people use therapy to maintain balance through life transitions — parenthood, caring roles, menopause, relocation, or adjusting after loss. Together we’ll explore how your mind, body, and environment interact and strengthen the habits that support your long-term wellbeing.
Dealing With Grief & Loss
Grief affects people differently — sadness, anger, guilt, or even numbness can all be part of the process. Counselling provides a steady space to talk about the person or situation you’ve lost and to understand the changes it’s brought. There’s no fixed timeline; our work together focuses on helping you find peace and continuity in your own way.
Trauma Counselling
Difficult experiences from the past — accidents, medical events, abuse, or ongoing stress — can continue to affect mood, confidence, and relationships. Trauma-informed counselling helps you process what happened safely and gradually, staying within your comfort zone. Sessions are paced around your needs so that recovery feels grounded and sustainable.
Relationship Counselling
When communication breaks down or emotions feel too intense, counselling helps you understand what’s really happening between you and others. Whether you come alone or with a partner, we’ll work on clearer communication, emotional awareness, and trust. The aim isn’t blame — it’s to help you build healthier connections that last.
Work-Related Stress & Professional Challenges
Work can be one of the biggest sources of pressure. If you’re dealing with conflict, redundancy, performance anxiety, or workplace bullying, counselling offers a confidential space outside of work to decompress and find solutions. Nicky’s professional HR background means she understands both the emotional and practical sides of employment-related stress.
