Edward Tuckwell, BACP

Edward Tuckwell is an integrative counsellor who places person-centred therapy at the heart of his practice, emphasising an empathetic, nonjudgemental approach that responds to each person as they experience life. He blends person-centred work with a range of other therapeutic methods so sessions are tailored to individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Edward supports people dealing with anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship difficulties, feelings of disconnection, and challenges such as stress, anger, addiction, grief, trauma, and parenting or career transitions. He also works with concerns around intimacy, self-esteem, sleeping, attention differences, and complex family or attachment issues. His aim is to help clients build confidence, identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns, strengthen resilience, and gain clarity for personal growth.

Work with Edward combines exploration of the past with practical focus on the future - setting meaningful goals and developing tools that can be used in everyday life. He draws on clinical approaches including attachment-based therapy, client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, solution-focused work, the Gottman Method, and Internal Family Systems as appropriate to each client.

Edward has 4 years of experience and continues to develop his practice through ongoing training. He volunteers as a counsellor with the NHS and local charities in Devon and runs a private practice in Barnstaple where he offers in-person sessions. He also provides online counselling, including via the platform, for clients seeking more flexible options. Edward holds the credential BACP - member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works in line with the BACP Ethical Framework, offering a supportive place to begin therapy.
