My Approach

Hi, I’m Dionne
I’m a qualified counsellor and accredited registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I offer both face-to-face and online sessions from Malvern and currently have space for one new client starting in March 2025. I am trained to work with many different issues as you would expect but I am also a specialist working with grief and loss, anxiety and overwhelm and fear and phobias.

What Makes My Approach Different?

How we work together is truly unique. I tailor each session to your needs, using a variety of different approaches that suits you best. Unlike a typical counsellor who might remain passive and focus on only talking therapy, I am also trained to help you manage overwhelming sensations, calm your nervous system, and help you to experience deeper healing and feel better in your body too.

I focus on simple, accessible, and surprisingly effective methods and combined with insightful talking therapy, these techniques create space for you to reflect, heal and achieve the transformation or changes you want.

What Outcomes You Can Expect

My sessions are supportive, practical, and tailored entirely to you. Together, we will:

🌱 Help you feel calmer and more in control of fears and anxiety

🤍 Process grief and life changes, helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing and feel more hopeful and less exhausted

🛡️ Build resilience and confidence after set backs

✨ Reconnect with what truly matters to you, so you use less energy hiding yourself and can enjoy life more.

Why Clients Choose Me

Down-to-earth: I focus on practical, accessible support without jargon. I'm approachable and relaxed..
Tailored techniques & flexibility offering tailored support to you with what works for you (minus constant nodding!) so the sessions are more effective.
Safe and comfortable setting: My counselling space is in a peaceful garden annex—a non-clinical, soothing environment where you will receive a very personal service and a cup of tea is offered. I aim to help remove unnecessary discomfort so you can feel relaxed enough to be you, so we can address your concerns fully without barriers.
Work with body experience - I help you to learn how to regulate anxiety and overwhelm with body techniques that calm the nervous system.

I’m approachable, adaptable, and here to work with you at a pace that feels right. My motto is: you are safe to spill your tea here... In other words I aim for the process, based on our connection, to feel as relaxed as possible.

What Clients Say About My Approach

Clients often tell me they appreciate my down-to-earth style, practical advice, and ability to "keep it real." Many notice improvements in their lives after just a few sessions, achieving changes they once thought were impossible. Most say through working with the techniques to calm the nervous system, they find inner calm and peace in their bodies as well as the clarity through talking to address the issues that concern them. Most clients attend face to face and value the relaxing and safe setting over a clinical impersonal setting.

Getting Started

Starting counselling can feel daunting, and it’s normal to have doubts. My clients often tell me they feel reassured and confident after just one session. They appreciate my compassionate yet practical approach and go away with helpful techniques. If you’re curious about working together, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to explore if we’re a good fit. Sessions are £60 for 50 minutes, payable 24 hours in advance of each session. Pure online work is charged at £55 per session.
