About me

Looking for the right counsellor can feel overwhelming, especially when you鈥檙e already carrying the reasons that brought you here. My aim is to make that first step feel a little easier. I offer a free 15鈥憁inute telephone consultation so you can get a sense of how I work and whether I鈥檓 the right fit for you.

I鈥檓 an experienced counsellor based in Newton Abbot, supporting adults who want to understand themselves more deeply, feel more grounded, and move through the challenges that are holding them back. My approach is warm, honest, and down鈥憈o鈥慹arth. I help clients develop emotional clarity, resilience, and confidence so they can navigate life with more ease and self鈥憈rust.

Counselling isn鈥檛 only about working through pain or difficulty. It can also be a space for growth, insight, and reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have been overlooked or silenced.

How I work

You know yourself better than anyone. My role is to help you make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and patterns, and to explore where they come from. Together, we work at a pace that feels right for you.

Clients often describe my style as:

鈥� calm and grounded

鈥� validating and non鈥慾udgemental

鈥� gently challenging when needed

鈥� collaborative and transparent

I believe in compassionate enquiry, asking thoughtful questions that help you uncover what feels true and meaningful for you. My aim is that you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.

A focus on men鈥檚 mental health

A significant part of my work is supporting men who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves.

Many men grew up with messages such as:

鈥� 鈥淒on鈥檛 show emotion.鈥�

鈥� 鈥淏e strong.鈥�

鈥� 鈥淛ust get on with it.鈥�

These beliefs can shape how men cope, relate, and express themselves as adults. In therapy, we explore these inherited ideas and create space for healthier, more authentic ways of being.

I help men:

鈥� build confidence and self鈥憌orth

鈥� understand their emotional world

鈥� challenge outdated beliefs about masculinity

鈥� reconnect with their own value

鈥� feel 鈥渆nough鈥� without needing to prove anything

This work often brings a sense of relief, clarity, and renewed direction.

What therapy can support you with

鈥� anxiety and stress

鈥� low mood or depression

鈥� relationship or family difficulties

鈥� shame, self鈥慶riticism, or low self鈥慹steem

鈥� identity and self鈥憉nderstanding

鈥� emotional overwhelm

鈥� life transitions

鈥� feeling 鈥渟tuck鈥� or disconnected

Training, qualifications & experience

鈥� Level 2, 3, and 4 Diplomas in Counselling

鈥� Experience working with children, young adults, and adults

鈥� Additional training in:

鈥� Solution鈥慒ocused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

鈥� Compassionate Inquiry (Gabor Mat茅)

鈥� Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

鈥� Male鈥慶entred psychology

I work in a trauma鈥慽nformed, person鈥慶entred way, integrating approaches depending on your needs.

My commitment

At the heart of my practice is a simple principle: you come first.

What is the end result?

What would it feel like to be empowered to face the thoughts and feelings that hold you back? Imagine approaching difficult emotions with clarity and confidence, knowing you have the tools and support to move through them. It鈥檚 about finding the courage to meet what鈥檚 been weighing on you and taking steps toward a more balanced, fulfilling life

Your first session is simply a chance for us to get to know each other and understand what brings you to therapy. There鈥檚 no pressure to share everything at once, we go at a pace that feels right for you.

Here鈥檚 what usually happens:

馃煢 A gentle beginning

We鈥檒l start by talking about what led you to seek counselling and what you鈥檙e hoping to get from the process. You don鈥檛 need to have clear goals or the 鈥渞ight words鈥�, many people arrive unsure, and that鈥檚 completely okay.

馃煢 Understanding your story

You鈥檒l have space to talk about what鈥檚 been going on for you. I鈥檒l listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help you explore your thoughts and feelings with clarity and without judgement.

How are you finding the process of looking for the right counsellor? It can feel overwhelming 鈥� so many questions, and often, it鈥檚 hard to know where to begin. And on top of that, you鈥檙e already carrying the reasons that brought you to seek counselling in the first place.

The truth is, there鈥檚 no simple formula for finding the right fit. That鈥檚 why I offer a free 20-minute online consultation. It鈥檚 a chance for you to get a feel for how I work, ask any questions you might have, and see whether I鈥檓 the right person to support you.

And a small tip? Go with your gut. Often, that quiet sense of what feels right is a good place to start.

I am an holistic counsellor based in Newton Abbot, Devon, dedicated to supporting the well-being and personal growth of clients. My approach helps individuals develop emotional awareness, resilience, and self-confidence, fostering a deeper sense of self-understanding and empowerment.

I believe counselling is for everyone, whether you're dealing with specific challenges or simply navigating a general sense of unease. I offer a safe, supportive, and nonjudgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. In my practice, I work with adults of all ages who are experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. With empathy, honesty, and nonjudgmental, I aim to create a therapeutic relationship that encourages healing, understanding, and positive change.

You know yourself better than anyone else, the difficulty maybe understanding your thoughts and feelings and where they come from, that鈥檚 where I come in with the counselling skills and techniques. Together, at a pace that feels right for you, we will work through your unique challenges. My goal is to make sure you feel heard, understood, validated, and empowered without judgement every step of the way.

It's important to remember that therapy isn't solely about working through pain, shame, or difficult emotions. It can also be a place for personal growth, positivity, and even moments of joy. Counselling can be enlightening, inspiring, and yes, even uplifting. It鈥檚 a journey toward healing, self-discovery, and uncovering new possibilities for your life.

Do you ever catch yourself reacting in a way that doesn鈥檛 feel true to who you are, then looking back and wishing you鈥檇 handled things differently?

I鈥檓 Mario, a professional counsellor who helps people make sense of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviour patterns so they can live with greater clarity, confidence, and empowerment. My goal is to support you in uncovering what drives you and making choices that align with your authentic self.

We all have the strength to face life鈥檚 challenges, but that strength can be clouded by outdated beliefs, past experiences, and external pressures, from family expectations to social media. My role is to help you cut through that noise, reconnect with your values, and feel empowered to take decisions that serve your life and wellbeing.

My approach is integrative and grounded, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods tailored to you. One of these is Compassionate Inquiry, a process that combines focused questioning with attunement to the body to uncover and release suppressed emotions, childhood trauma, and hidden assumptions that may be shaping your current experience.

I work with men鈥檚 mental health and am currently studying Male-Centred Psychology to deepen my understanding of the unique challenges and strengths men face in today鈥檚 world.
