About Me
BACP Registered Counsellor | Trauma & Domestic Abuse Specialist in Somerset
Hello, I'm Tours, a counsellor who believes that feeling truly heard can be the beginning of everything. As a BACP Registered Member, I offer a warm, safe, and non-judgemental space where you are welcome exactly as you are.
My goal is to support you as you navigate your unique healing journey, helping you make sense of your experiences at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you're facing a specific crisis or simply feeling like life has lost its direction, we'll work together to find a way forward.
Specialised Trauma & Life Challenges
While I have a particular depth of experience in supporting survivors of domestic abuse and trauma, my practice is open to anyone navigating the complexities of mental health. My trauma-informed approach means I prioritise your safety, choice, and empowerment above all else.
I work with individuals experiencing:
-
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, panic, or ongoing stress
-
Living with OCD or intrusive thoughts
-
Navigating difficult relationships, family conflict, or the legacy of childhood trauma or sexual abuse
-
Facing grief, loss, big life changes, or low self-worth
Whatever you are carrying, I am here to help you confront these challenges with compassion and patience.
Support for Children & Young People
I believe that therapy for younger clients should be as engaging as it is supportive. Children and teenagers often find it difficult to put complex feelings into words, so I incorporate creative therapeutic tools to bridge that gap, including:
-
Sand play for exploring internal worlds
-
Drawing and art for creative expression
-
Therapeutic games to build trust and emotional literacy
I also work closely with parents and carers to ensure therapy feels like a joined-up, supportive process for the whole family.
My Professional Background
In addition to my private practice, I serve as the Director of a domestic abuse and trauma recovery service. In this role, I facilitate therapeutic groups and work to raise awareness about the complexities of abuse and its recovery.
This leadership position keeps me deeply connected to local safety initiatives and ensures my clinical practice is always grounded in the latest professional standards and safeguarding protocols.
Taking the First Step
Taking that first step can feel daunting, but you don't have to do it alone. I strive to build a collaborative relationship where you feel valued and empowered from our very first session.
If you are looking for a skilled counsellor who truly understands the impact of trauma and the nuances of the human experience, I welcome you to reach out for an initial consultation.
