integrative counselling in Plymouth, Devon and online
Welcome to Jackie Maddison Counselling
Hi, I'm Jackie (she/her) and I provide counselling in Plymouth, Devon or online.
What can I offer you?
A welcoming, supportive and friendly space that is tailored to your unique needs. If you're unsure what these are, I will support you in navigating those feelings of uncertainty.
I work with a diverse range of individuals and have experience in counselling for anxiety issues, depression, stress and many other life challenges. As a neurodivergent therapist in Plymouth, I welcome those who are neurodivergent and seeking counselling for autism, ADHD or AuDHD in Plymouth or online. A neurodivergent lens in counselling can help you feel seen, heard and truly understood in a world where sometimes you may not have felt this way. If you are neuro-curious and would like to explore this, or you are self-diagnosed as neurodivergent, please feel assured that I will validate this and support you in understanding yourself and your needs.
I also provide counselling for LGBTQI+ adults in Plymouth. I completed my counselling training at the Intercom Trust in Plymouth, supporting LGBTQI+ individuals with gender identity and sexuality. I am committed to providing an inclusive, gender affirming and neuro-affirming counselling space.
I have knowledge and experience of working with neurodivergent adults focusing on issues like burnout, the impact of late-diagnosis, masking, social and generalised anxiety, sensory needs, alexithymia, executive function difficulties and building emotional regulation skills. I will work collaboratively with you to discover what your needs are and how to best support them in your daily life. I also have an interest in working with trauma, low confidence and self-esteem and individuals exploring non-traditional relationships.
I provide counselling in Plymouth City Centre for face to face appointments or online counselling for people all over the UK. Please contact me for more information about appointment slots available. Want to know more about how I work as a counsellor in Plymouth? See my How I work page. Please visit my FAQs page for more information about counselling in general or feel free to contact me with any questions.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I follow their ethical framework which you can view here.
