One-to-One Therapy

We offer a warm and professional therapy service to anyone over the age of 18 who feels stuck in life, or wants to improve their mental health.

We also offer online trauma-informed ADHD assessments.

You’re smart, capable, and outwardly holding it all together - but inside, things feel increasingly unsustainable.

You’ve hit a point where stress, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion are no longer manageable with your usual coping strategies.

This isn’t about needing “more self-care.”

It’s about interrupting deeply ingrained patterns before they take a long-term toll.

Frequently asked questions

After completing the enquiry form on our contact page

Our referrals co-ordinator will email you initially to support you to be matched with the most suitable member of the Plum Psychology team (based on your availability and difficulties). Once you feel happy with the recommended match the therapist will email you directly to book in a free introductory call.

Free introductory call

This is usually a 15 minute call carried out on Zoom or the phone to discuss what you are currently looking for. The therapist can answer questions you have about therapy, and you can get to see if you gel with the therapist. If at this point the therapist believes that you are in the right place for support then they will offer you an appointment to meet for an initial consultation.

Initial consultation

This is booked for and paid for at the point of booking. When you attend it is an opportunity to go through your areas of difficulty in more detail, and understand what you’d like to be different in your life. The therapist will then develop a roadmap for your work together which pulls together an understanding of your issues in the context of your life experiences and current circumstances, and what you hope to get from your period of therapy.

We can work with you online (using Zoom) or face-to-face in Taunton, Somerset.

Living and working in the spotlight can add unique pressures that accelerate burnout.

Some of our clients are high-visibility professionals who have extra concerns about privacy. Online sessions are conducted on zoom so you can work from a private location of your choice. If you would like in-person sessions these can be provided at Hestercombe House, a quiet stately home in Somerset with a back entrance, or a home visit can be discussed and arranged where there is availability.

We never share information with employers, insurers, or medical records unless you request it, and our admin staff have had extra training on this. Communication and billing can be adapted to your needs - for example, using neutral subject lines or non-branded invoices. Clinical notes are always securely stored, and your confidentiality is always our highest priority.

Yes. Neurodiversity is an umbrella term that includes autism, ADHD, AuADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, OCD and more. Our therapists are experienced in adapting their approaches for people who have traits or diagnoses within the neurodivergent spectrum. We are a neuroaffirming psychology practice, which means we respect and value neurological differences and tailor therapy to work with - not against - the way your brain works best. We have had feed back that our EMDR intensives work particularly well with neurodivergent clients due to the pacing and length of these sessions.

We are all qualified as HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologists or Counselling Psychologists. This means that we have been trained to a high standard and are up-to-date with our training and have high standards in our work as is required by our professional body.

In addition to this we have additional accreditation with other governing bodies for specific therapy models such as the EMDR Association and British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).
