  • Dave Evans

    Hi, I’m Dave and I’m a qualified BACP accredited counsellor with 20 years experience of working with a wide and diverse range of clients.

    Counselling can provide a safe space for you to talk about anything you feel is troubling you or holding you back from moving forward. A space in which you can explore thoughts and feelings, try and make sense of what’s going on and find some tools and answers to make some positive steps. It’s a collaborative process and fostering a trusting relationship between counsellor and therapist is key. I don’t have a magic wand and I’m not an expert on your life but I can listen without judgement, perhaps offer a different perspective or occasionally a gentle challenge.

    I have a Post-graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I was trained initially in the person-centred approach and have received additional training in CBT and Transactional Analysis which I sometimes incorporate as part of my work with clients.

    I can be contacted on 0776 8597078 (leave a message if I’m not able to pick up) or email me at: decounselling100@gmail.com

    Dave is at ‘The Space’ on: Wednesday day time and Thursday evening

  • Jo Kirby

    Jo has spent over twenty years working professionally in a range of recovery services, she understands that individuals are unique and that no two people are the same so doesn’t offer a ‘one size fits all’ approach and aims to work with client preferences.

    Jo is qualified as a psychodynamic counsellor which is where early life experiences are explored and how they may have shaped you and the way that you think about and relate to people, which may now be out of conscious awareness. Jo is also qualified in Drug and Alcohol counselling and treatment to postgraduate level.

    Outside of being a therapist Jo is really interested in Yoga and breathwork and how the mind and body connects.
