My working hours are:

Monday - Friday     8am - 5pm

There are occasions where I can be slightly more flexible outside these hours.

Hi I’m Morag and I’m an Integrative Counsellor offering in person and online sessions to clients.  As an Integrative therapist I am trained in various approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural therapy, Person centered therapy, Gestalt therapy, Internal family Systems therapy, Transitional analysis etc.  The above approaches allow for a combination of modalities to best suit individual client needs.  I am deeply existential and place great importance on building relationships with my clients as I believe that is essential for successful therapeutic outcomes.

I have a varied career background that extends over 30 years of working with individuals and groups.  I have previously managed: mental health and addiction residential projects,  16 - 25 year old single homeless units and have worked in residential childcare, both in secure and open school settings.  In addition I have worked for the ministry of education psychology team in New Zealand, after being a teacher in a number of different countries.  I am also a registered clinical hypnotherapist, which I still practice alongside counselling.

I welcome individuals seeking therapy to get in touch and seeing for themselves just how much counselling can help improve their lives through the therapeutic relationship and skills that they can develop to assist them through whatever difficulties they may be facing, whether past or present.

My practice is set in the beautiful Blackdown Hills in Wellington on the edge of Somerset / Mid Devon, two minutes from the Wellington Monument.  Woodside Clinic is based in a separate annexed building next to the farm house.  It is extremely peaceful and looks out onto fields full of nature.  This allows for complete privacy for clients.  The building has two rooms with comfortable seating and space to allow clients to feel relaxed in a cosy confidential setting.  There are two steps to enter the in person therapy room and parking space available directly outside the building.

I offer a free 30 minute session either in person or online to allow clients the opportunity to meet me and allow me to answer any questions they may have about integrative counselling or how I work as a therapist, whilst allowing the individual time to discuss their therapeutic objectives, without judgement.
