Helping Individuals Navigate Life, Loss, and Emotional Wellbeing

“Integrative Counselling & Therapy in Devon — Face-to-Face, Online & Walking-Talking”

About Andrew

I’m Andrew Laidlaw, a counsellor offering a calm, supportive space to talk openly and honestly about what’s going on in your life. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to make sense of difficult thoughts or emotions, you don’t have to face it alone.
I work in a compassionate, down-to-earth way, taking time to understand you as a person rather than focusing on labels or diagnoses. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced around you — whether you need space to talk, to reflect, or to gently explore patterns that may be holding you back.
I support individuals experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, loss, and major life changes. My aim is to offer therapy that feels human, steady, and grounded, helping you move forward with greater clarity and self-understanding.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you’re welcome to start exactly where you are. I offer both face-to-face and online counselling to suit your needs.

The First Steps Into Counselling

What To Expect

Starting counselling can feel like a big step. Our first session is simply a chance to get to know one another and explore what’s been weighing on you, at a pace that feels comfortable. I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly, feel heard, and begin moving towards meaningful change.

What You Get

You’ll gain a dedicated space that’s entirely focused on you — your thoughts, your feelings and your experiences. Alongside feeling heard and understood, you’ll begin to develop greater self-awareness, practical coping strategies and renewed confidence. The aim is not just short-term relief, but lasting insight and resilience that supports you beyond our sessions.

What To take Away

Over time, you’ll leave sessions with greater clarity about yourself and your situation. You may notice increased confidence, healthier ways of coping, and a stronger sense of direction. Most importantly, you’ll take away a deeper understanding of who you are and the tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience.

Men Through Miscarriage

Miscarriage can have a profound and often unspoken impact on men. Many feel pressure to stay strong, support others, or move on quickly, leaving their own grief, confusion, anger, or sense of loss unacknowledged. This service offers a confidential and compassionate space where men can explore their experience openly, without judgement or expectation.
Counselling supports men to process grief, make sense of complex emotions, navigate changes in relationships, and find ways to carry the loss while continuing with life. Whether the miscarriage was recent or many years ago, you do not have to face it alone, and your experience matters.

Online/Telephone Therapy

Online and telephone counselling offer flexible, confidential support wherever you are. Sessions provide the same professional, compassionate therapeutic experience as face-to-face work, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a way that fits around your life. Whether you prefer video sessions for a more personal connection or telephone counselling for simplicity and privacy, this service makes accessing support easier, more accessible, and responsive to your needs.

Face to Face Sessions

Face-to-face counselling offers a dedicated, confidential space where you can be fully heard and supported in person. Meeting together allows us to work at your pace, building a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, understanding, and genuine human connection.
In a calm and welcoming environment, you are invited to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. Being physically present can help deepen reflection, support emotional expression, and create a strong sense of containment as we work through life’s challenges together.
