Ocean City Counselling - Plymouth

Amber

I feel incredibly grateful to have found Alicia. I nervously walked into her office two years ago, it was my first ever therapy session, and I was greeted with a lovely space (interior design) and a reassuring smile. My overall goal was to gain some confidence and figure out what I wanted to do in life.

From Day 1, I was guided towards deep self-reflection by understanding my triggers and delving into the past. I've discovered so much about myself - why I feel certain emotions and why I act a certain way. Alicia is encouraging and insightful. Thanks to her counselling, I have a more positive outlook and I'm A LOT kinder to myself. Now that I'm more self-aware, I'm consciously on the road to self-improvement 🙂

Alicia maintains a safe and calming environment at all times. I'm never pushed to discuss topics that I'm not ready for - and I'm given the space I need to talk. Without a doubt, I now feel in control when I have to deal with challenging situations.

I would absolutely recommend Alicia to anyone seeking counselling! She is highly qualified, empathetic, and kind ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alicia always creates a professional, caring and relaxed atmosphere during counselling sessions. She has introduced me to a variety of different techniques which I look forward to carrying forward in my daily life. She is always patient during our sessions and ensured that I left each session feeling comfortable ?

I have just finished having counselling with Alicia after 10 months. In this time we have worked on my childhood experiences and self esteem issues. I can’t recommend her enough- she is friendly, warm and very knowledgable. She makes you feel heard and explains things in a clear and understandable way. When leaving her room, I felt a sense of peace having shared my thoughts and feelings with her whilst also having new strategies I could practise. These strategies have empowered me to feel more positive towards my future and I can’t thank Alicia enough for this. If you are thinking about having counselling, do it!

I had the pleasure of training with Alicia and she has continued to stand out as a counsellor who is able to create a very special therapeutic environment. Alicia has a real gift of creating a safe, warm and tender space that allows you feel comfortable right from the beginning. She balances this expertly with knowledge and gentle challenges that allow real growth and change to happen.
Alicia has a diverse training giving her understanding across a broad range of issues and the tools to use a variety of approaches to suit each individual client. Her specialism in working with childhood issues and self-esteem is particularly valuable to clients struggling with these issues.
I would not hesitate to recommend Alicia to any future clients, particularly to any who are feeling nervous about starting counselling for the first time.

I met Alicia when we trained together as therapists. I found her approach to be understanding and empathic. We trained to work with different theories integratively, to support clients with a holistic approach. I found Alicia particularly supportive and intuned with difficulties related to emotional abuse, narcissistic parental backgrounds and how to reparent and heal oneself.
I would recommend Alicia as a therapist, working with a range of difficulties and diversity of clients.
