Karrin Jerzyszek

It can be difficult to reach out for help, especially when we need it most. Central to my practice is building a trusting relationship so that you feel safe and comfortable to freely explore. Making sense of confusing or overwhelming emotions alone can send us spiralling. Counselling is a collaborative process and by working together I can offer you resources to better cope with distressing emotions and help you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself to enhance your quality of life. Your needs will shape how we go forward with therapy at a pace that suits you.

I offer integrative counselling with training in Person-centred, Gestalt and CBT schools of psychotherapy, meaning I provide a flexible approach depending on your individual needs. This may be talking therapy combined with creative methods or mindfulness techniques. I offer a safe and non-judgemental space based on compassion and honesty and believe that by truly being heard you will grow to your full potential.

I have experience dealing with women’s trauma using a Trauma-informed Framework.

I also have training and can offer outdoor sessions. I believe that connecting with nature can be healing and increasing awareness of our body movement has great therapeutic benefits.

I am fully qualified and registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society and adhere to the ethical framework. I am currently based in Paignton and I cover surrounding areas of Torbay for walk-and-talk sessions.

I offer a free initial 20-minute telephone consultation to gain an understanding of your needs and assess whether we might be able to work together.
