My name is Devin Ashwood, I am qualified with an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and accredited with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
My practice is in Bruton. I also work at a GP surgery in Somerset but am able to arrange to make home visits in some cases.
I am able to help people with a range of problems. Over the years, I have become specialised in addiction, depression, anxiety and panic disorders but my training and experience go beyond this. I am currently employed teaching addictions counselling to students at Bath University and have completed a postgraduate course in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

I am committed to helping people to reach their full potential. I have experience working with a wide range of issues from addiction through to personal and spiritual development.
My training includes an advanced (level 4) Diploma in counselling certified by the CPCAB, a Post Graduate Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from the University of Cumbria, a Diploma in Holistic Hypnotherapy (completed with distinction), level 2 certificates in both counselling skills and studies and numerous specialist workshops and shorter courses on specific therapeutic issues.
I have worked professionally in a number of specialist agencies that tackle some of the more difficult areas such as social exclusion amongst teenagers and addictions counselling.
I currently work as an addictions counsellor in one of Europe’s leading addictions treatment centres and teach addictions counselling to students at Bath University. I also work as practice counsellor in a Somerset GP NHS health centre and as the Buddhist Chaplain at HMP Exeter.
Clinical audits and supervision conducted within agencies in which I hve worked have repeatedly described my performance as ‘Excellent’.
I am a fully accredited member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and as such work within their Code of Ethics, receive regular supervision and am covered by professional insurance
