Welcome to Out of The Blue Counselling – Tavistock, Devon. My name is Lori Thackham and I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor offering support to adults and young people experiencing depression, anxiety and trauma. I am experienced at enabling clients to understand themselves better; work through difficult life experiences and identify needs and how to get them met in a way that promotes and supports a greater sense of wellbeing.  I offer face to face, online or telephone sessions and I work with adolescents, young people and adults. I am also a qualified supervisor offering clinical supervision to qualified/student counsellors and supervisors in training.

Sometimes life events or situations can feel overwhelming and you may be left feeling isolated and anxious, unsure of how to move forward. I offer a service to help you through what you are experiencing, tailoring my approach to meet your needs in a confidential space.

Appointments are offered: face to face, online using Zoom video and by telephone.

I appreciate that making a decision to have counselling may feel a bit daunting, so I hope that by providing some information on the pages of this website about counselling therapy and how I work will help you in deciding whether counselling will be right for you.

Feel free to contact me for more information or to book an appointment

Best wishes

Lori
