Fresh Thoughts Counselling - Yeovil & Poundbury

General information

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with life and the issues that are raised on a daily basis?
Have you ever spoken to a friend, family member or colleague and not felt heard?
Have you ever kept your emotions hidden from those you love because you feel guilty, silly or embarrassed?

I can help you if you answered yes to any of these, or perhaps to other questions you have asked yourself.
I offer my clients real support and genuine empathy. You are the expert in your world, and I believe I can help you find the answers with direction.

Who am I?
My name is Naomi David and I am a therapeutic counsellor. I began Fresh Thoughts Counselling to increase support open to people as I have a natural curiosity in helping people.

Who do I work with?
I work with adults, young people (13 - 18yrs) and children (8 -12 years). I also offer support to anyone with learning difficulties as my additional skills are with speech & language therapy in a complex needs school.

What happens next?
Give me a call, text or email, I want to hear from you. If you feel support is something you need, we could meet together, for a no obligation first meet, to understand each other and work out if we can work together for further sessions.

Where?
I can work with you in your home or I have some availability to rent therapy rooms in Yeovil and Poundbury.
I tend to work mostly face to face, but I understand that isn't always what people want. So I offer telephone and email support. That works by us agreeing a specific time to contact each other - similar to face to face sessions.

How much?
I offer my sessions at a rate of £35 for 50 minutes. If an therapy room is required for our time together, I would need to increase this to factor in room hire.
I have some availability for concession rates and I keep these free for students, young people and those who need help financially.

What do I offer?
My aim is to support your emotional well-being and some of the issues I work with are:
Anxiety
Depression
Communication problems
Self-confidence & self esteem
Uncertainty whether at home, work or other
Bereavement and loss
Relationship difficulties
Stress Management
Post Traumatic Stress
Fear & Conflict
Health problems e.g. chronic illnesses

I offer a variety of techniques in my work, including Rewind, Mindfulness, Transactional Analysis and CBT. However, my main focus is you, the client, and to you I offer myself and my person centred skills. You remain at the heart of our sessions.
