What is Counselling?
Our therapists offering psychotherapy/counselling in Plymouth, allow you a safe and confidential space to help you delve into your thoughts and feelings/problems by working with you to guide you towards a pathway which could help resolve any emotional distress you may be experiencing. Subjects discussed at your counselling sessions will vary, both depending on the help you require and the approach of the individual therapist.
Various discussions could take place, including those around your childhood; relationships; feelings, emotions or thoughts; behaviour; your past; present life events, or situations you may find difficult to handle etc. This will assist in helping you to make sense of your world and explore resolutions. Most sessions will be 50-60 minutes in duration, with the number of sessions and the frequency being agreed between you and your therapist. Dragonfly Well-Being Centre is a new venture, so more therapists will be available soon.

Jo Langston
Available: Please contact me to discuss – I am flexible.
As a therapist it’s my role to listen to your experiences, understand what’s at the root of your feelings and work together to find a way forward.
More often than not, the struggles we encounter as adults are grounded to some extent in our experiences growing-up. This doesn’t mean therapy is about digging into every corner of your childhood, but our sessions will seek to understand where experiences earlier in your life may be unintentionally getting in the way of you confidently moving forward. We will find ways for you to heal and soothe previous challenges and traumas, feel a sense of calm and self-assurance and develop positive coping strategies should life present challenges in the future.
