Integrative Counselling sessions with Ollie Frame
FuIly qualified and a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), I offer one-to-one counselling and mindfulness sessions in Totnes and the surrounding area, including Paignton, Torquay, Newton Abbot and Kingsbridge.
I provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your relationship with life, including areas of difficulty and opportunities for growth, which I consider to be two sides of the same coin.
I work with the issues for which many people come to therapy: emotional distress, such as anxiety, anger or low mood; difficulties relating to career, relationships or family life; challenging events or changes, such as bereavement, loss or separation; addiction and compulsions; or because of a sense of alienation or a crisis of meaninglessness.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on the methods and perspectives of a number of different schools of counselling and psychotherapy. This means that as well as verbal dialogue, the session may include dreamwork, meditation, creativity, drama and imaginal work. One method I frequently use is interactive dynamic guided meditation, in which we maintain a dialogue whilst exploring an issue meditatively, accessing the unconscious by way of the imagination enabling you to get in touch with your own inner resources of wisdom, guidance and insight. This may involve exploration of and dialogue with different ‘parts of self’, such as is used in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
As an umbrella for the work that I do, the approach I take most inspiration from is Psychosynthesis, which provides a model of consciousness that spans the full range of human experience, from our complexes, compulsions and unconscious patterns right the way up to our highest faculties of intuition, wisdom, love and creativity.
How much does it cost?
Each session is on a sliding scale of £45 - £55. I wouldn’t want anyone to miss out because it is unaffordable to them, so if this is unaccessible to you, I am always happy to discuss concessions. For a free 15 min chat, please contact me.
Targeted therapy in six-week blocks
As well as the above, I also offer one-to-one therapy in blocks of six weeks, focussing on a specific issue in a targeted way. The sessions integrate counselling, mindfulness, and coaching, drawing on approaches such as Solution-Focussed Brief Therapy (SFBT), Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion Focussed Therapy.
As part of the package, mindfulness recordings and other resources are provided, free of charge. Each week we will agree on specific actions, attitudes or practices to explore in the days between sessions, and then review this at the beginning of the next session, drawing out insight from what came up. This will help you to better integrate the learning into your everyday life and will greatly enhance the transformative power of our work together.
The sessions take place in person in my therapy space in Bowden House, Totnes (TQ9 7PW), or online.
The cost of a block of six sessions and the accompanying recordings/resources is on a sliding scale of between £275 and £345 (ie between £45 and £55 per session). For more information, please get in touch for a free exploratory 15-min chat on the phone.
