Welcome
My name is Elise Wardle and I have been a counsellor offering counselling, psychotherapy and supervision for twelve years in Surrey and now in North Devon. You can find out more about me on my About Me page on this site. Meanwhile, this is actually about you!!!
Sometimes we simply need to talk to someone who has trained as a counsellor and who is prepared to listen without judgement; who does not 'give advice' but merely holds the space for personal reflection, growth and personal development towards a sense of wholeness and integration.
"Who are you?" said the Caterpillar..."I - I hardly know, Sir, just at present," Alice replied rather shyly, "at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have changed several times since then."

Are you in need of help right now? Why not give me a call.......it costs nothing to have an initial chat on the phone and there is no obligation to continue after the first session should you feel that it is not right for you. The initial consultation is charged at only £25 for individuals* to identify if we are able to work together within a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.
My approach is to support the development of the individual as a unique and whole being throughout the course of therapy. Counselling and psychotherapy students are welcome for either counselling, supervision or additional tutoring. Qualified and accredited counsellors and psychotherapists are offered supervision as required by BACP in order to meet ethical guidelines. I work with individuals and couples on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.
I am a Counsellor experienced in Integrative / humanistic / psychodynamic / transpersonal (Jungian) supervision, counselling and psychotherapy, offering a one-to-one therapy that will be different for each individual, depending on their personal need or specifically tailored for each couple. My training background includes extensive work with energy healing and spirituality thus I keep a very open mind when working from a psycho-spiritual perspective.
My psychotherapy experience covers a wide range of issues including:
Abortion; abuse; addiction; adoption; affairs and betrayals; anxiety; bereavement and loss; bi-polar; career development; CFS/ME; depression; borderline personality disorder; bullying; couples issues; dependent personality disorder; generalised anxiety disorder; histrionic personality disorder; infertility; miscarriage; panic disorder; PTSD; post-natal depression; pregnancy and birth; relationships; separation and divorce; sexuality; spirituality; stress; suicidal thoughts; trauma; work related issues.
My practice is based at my home address in Holsworthy, within easy reach of Okehampton, Bude and Launceston and is accessible by car. For those who require counselling, psychotherapy or supervision, I am also able to work throughout the UK over Skype for those who are outside the area.
