About Peggy

With NHS waiting lists growing and life getting busier, many people turn to online counselling for quick and accessible help. I offer the same care and expertise as in-person sessions, with the added convenience of flexible scheduling.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and work within its Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions (2018). I also have monthly supervision sessions with an experienced supervisor, who oversees my counselling work.

Experience

I was in private practice in Bloomsbury, London, as a clinical hypnotherapist from 2002 until 2008, and worked as a freelance writer and blogger from 2009 to the present while raising a family.

From 2017 to 2019 I worked in a residential addiction treatment centre in Plymouth, south Devon, including lone working with ex-offenders and clients with complex mental health needs.

Since 2019 I have been a founding director of Mindful Art Club, a Community Interest Company offering mental health support groups using mindfulness, art and conversation in Plymouth.

As a student counsellor I worked online and in person at Devon Mind with adult clients of all ages and a wide variety of presenting issues, including trauma, bereavement, domestic abuse, anxiety and depression.
