Counselling for Anxiety & Grief – Supporting Women & Children in Malvern & Online

Hello, I’m Dionne — an NCPS-accredited (meaning my qualifications have been independently checked and are at a standard to be registered and accredited) counsellor offering a safe, warm, and non-clinical space for women and children navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, and life transitions. Based in Malvern, I provide both face-to-face therapy and accessible online counselling UK-wide. I currently do have space for face to face and online clients.  ​I refer any men to a specialist male counsellor who specialise in men's issues or can recommend to other therapists I trust locally who see men. Get in touch and I can give you some suggestions based on your needs.

​

Why Pick Me As Your Counsellor?

💖 Focused Support for Women and Children

I'm a women's therapist who works exclusively with women and children. This allows me to bring depth, insight, and lived empathy to the issues you may be facing. My previous career background includes over 30 years working in education and behaviour support with children and young people, and their parents, which along with my therapy training, allows me to support you as a mother too or work with your children. 

​

🌿 Holistic, Integrative Therapy That Works For Women

I blend traditional talking therapy with coaching techniques so you can take away practical, useable calming tools that are scientifically valid/evidence-based e.g. mind-body approaches like breathwork, EFT (tapping)  and mindfulness. This integrative way of working helps many women feel better faster. We work with the whole of you: your heart (emotions), your head (thoughts), and your body (nervous system). Many clients feel significant relief even within 1 to 6 sessions. Because of the way I work, my average number of sessions is just 9, yet we may of course go longer or shorter depending on what you need. 

​

✨ A Calming, Confidential Space

My home annex is a space where you can breathe out and speak freely and we can connect safely. We meet as humans first and the environment reflects that. All of my clients comment on how relaxed and safe they feel in the space with me. Of course my two little dogs make a huge popular appearance in many sessions and again this is a feature of feeling the space is not awkward or too intense. 

​

🧡 One-to-One, Woman-to-Woman Connection

I limit the number of clients I take on to ensure I’m fully present for you in every session. I’ve also walked my own healing journey, and I bring that experience and wisdom into our work. I don’t do "nodding therapy"... I don't just listen. I offer more. I’ll gently offer tools, insights and reflections, and together we’ll explore new ways forward.  Of course I don't give advice but I can offer ideas for you to weigh as useful or not. Building connection with my clients and helping them to feel valued and cared for is very much part of how I work. My clients are never, ever numbers of a list!

​

🌱Who I Work With

I support women experiencing:

• Anxiety, burnout or chronic overwhelm

• Grief, including traumatic or sudden loss

• Post-natal depression and maternal mental health challenges

• Menopause, pregnancy, fertility and hormonal or age/role transitions

• Parenting challenges or children’s behaviour concerns

• Stress from caring roles, workplace bullying, or discrimination

• Recovery from trauma or emotionally abusive relationships

• Identity loss, low confidence or feelings of invisibility

• Neurodivergent, high sensitivity or high-achieving burnout

 

If you feel you’re "carrying more than your nervous system was meant to carry alone," I can help you gently come back to balance, one step at a time.  My speciality is working with anxiety, fear and increasingly I am working with various different phobias 

​

✨What Clients Say

"I’d tried counselling before, but this felt completely different. Dionne helped me feel heard and hopeful straight away. I always went away calmer, with more insight and with strategies and ideas to help my find my calm again. And as promised, I was pleased not to have a nodding counsellor!"

"I can’t afford therapy forever, but I didn’t need to. After just a few sessions, I felt more grounded and had had huge new insights as Dionne was so skilled at getting to the heart of the matter with me."

"Thank you for creating a space that doesn’t feel clinical. I actually look forward to coming. I always felt safe and like you cared about my situation as well as being objective and helping me."

​

Please check my testimonials page for actual quotes from past clients to get a flavour of what they gained from working with me and what the process was like.

 

🤍 Many clients appreciate:

• Practical, collaborative sessions - not only listening

• Feeling better quickly and seeing results within weeks and months not years

• A relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere that's human to human first

• The calming presence of my famous, therapeutic dogs (optional but loved!).
