My Approach

Hi, I’m Dionne — an NCPS-accredited counsellor supporting women and children (6+) with anxiety, phobias, burnout, and life transitions in Malvern, Ludlow, and online across the UK.

I work from a calm, private, non-clinical space. You can have face-to-face, online, or phone sessions. I currently have some January availability, including a £60 per-session rate for your first six sessions if you would struggle to pay full price.

How Therapy With Me Feels

You don’t need me to promise I’ll listen carefully, create safety or not judge you — for me that’s a given. What I offer you in addition is a space where your body, mind, and emotions can actually start to settle, so real change can happen.

Alongside talking, I bring tools you can actually use — ways to calm your nervous system, settle your mind, or ease tension in your body. Nothing is imposed, but women often tell me they leave sessions with me feeling clearer, calmer, and equipped with something practical to carry into their everyday life.

Many clients are surprised at how quickly they notice a difference. Simple practices — sometimes breathwork, gentle movement, tapping, mindfulness or restorative postures like Yin — have helped women sleep better, think clearer, and feel lighter in days rather than months. Of course outcomes do vary but you can read testimonies of real women's experiences of working with me and what it's like and the outcomes they had.

Why Women Say My Approach Works

When life has demanded too much for too long, the nervous system can get stuck on alert. That background tension makes thinking foggy, emotions raw, and coping harder. I combine traditional talking therapy with mindful, body-based approaches that genuinely shift how you feel — not just intellectually, but physically and emotionally too. Helping the nervous system settle — even a little — opens the door to real change. Feeling better is after all what we want to walk away from therapy with as an outcome. I can help you to know how.

The work is relational and attuned. I notice what’s said, what’s not said, and how it’s said. Small nuances reveal the patterns keeping you stuck, and we can work with them in the session. May women say they are supported to gain insight about themselves that helps them move forwards more confidently.

I deliberately keep my therapy space homely and grounding, not clinical. It’s private, calm, and designed to help you settle the moment you arrive. My small dogs are sometimes nearby, with your consent — many clients find their presence quietly reassuring.

I also work with a very limited number of clients at any one time so I can be fully present, regulated, and responsive to all of them individually.

This is a space where you don’t need to perform or explain yourself endlessly. You can just be yourself — and I’ll meet you there, showing up as just me too.

Am I the Right Fit for You?

You might be a good fit if you want therapy that is:

Active and collaborative
Grounded, real, and attuned rather than clinical protocol feel
Focused on helping you feel steadier and more yourself — holistically - emotionally, physically, and mentally

I offer short-term, longer-term, and single-session therapy for specific issues.
