WHO WE ARE

We are Catherine Hutchins and Francesca Johnson, Therapeutic Counsellors and Co-Founders of The Therapy Collective, a busy Counselling & Psychotherapy agency in the centre of Plymouth.

We are dedicated to the cause of helping people recognise and understand what is at the root cause of their psychological and emotional discomfort and pain. Once recognised we work collaboratively with the person(s) to facilitate the enhancement of inner strength, self-compassion and resilience to life's changes and challenges, leading to a more peaceful and content experience of living.

We know that no single therapeutic approach is the right one for everybody and wanted to be able to meet the needs of as many people as we could coming to us for help. With this is mind we founded The Therapy Collective, which enables us to work with a varied team of associates offering different approaches in their work such as Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural therapy, EMDR and Hypno-birthing to name but a few. 

We, and the associates, also offer group work and training. The group work is around specific difficulties such as bereavement, anxiety management and depression management. The groups will be small and intimate in number within a confidential and comfortable setting. The training will be designed to meet the continual professional developmental training needs of qualified Counsellors and Therapists and there will also training and workshops for student counsellors.

We are also very excited about the partnership that has been established between us and our first charity, HeartsWell, who offer funded counselling for heart patients and their families and we are one of the partner counselling agencies to help them deliver that service. They also do amazing work fundraising for and providing defibrillators to be placed in as many public places as possible to aid those in cardiac arrest.
