How did The Vale Practice happen?

The Vale Practice UK was born in 2024, when founder Quinn Tempest envisioned a new way to respond to the complex combination of growing needs for high-quality, tailored mental healthcare, including counselling, psychotherapy, and talking therapies.
 

Counselling, Psychotherapy, and Talking Therapies:
Therapies on offer include clinical hypnotherapy, which can be for individuals, couples, polyamorous or other non-monogamous relationships, families, children, groups, and uses solution-focused techniques to help the client realise their goals and change their life. 

Our intentionally gentle hypnotherapy approach employs mostly trance work, metaphor, and the power of the subconscious mind, as well as combining integrative, DBT, CBT, psychodynamic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, and other approaches or strategies when appropriate.

We offer specialised weekly online hypnotherapy groups at The Vale Practice UK for trauma, weight management, anxiety, and pain management. Our sessions put you back in control of your mind and body through nervous system regulation and pattern-changing.

Other therapy approaches such as CBT sessions, DBT, and IPSRT, are also on offer. We run a weekly DBT group for as low a cost as possible, and a weekly IPSRT group for people with bipolar, as well as free weekly support groups for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Coaching:

Noting the increase in the number of coaches offering unethical and dangerous advice on social media, we ensure our life, career, IT, and relationship coaches have a health or therapy background. For more information on our coaching services, please click here.

 

Tutoring:

We offer high-quality tutoring in a range of subjects, as well as a range of ages and contexts, because we believe passionately in the potential for education to reduce inequality, and we are well aware of how much work in this area has been undone by the pandemic. Our tutors are experienced educators as well as subject specialists and experts in supporting students with SEND needs.

 

This is supplemented by our packages offering workshops, seminars, panels, conferences, and other interactive formats for engaging people in learning.

 

These can be offered in schools for children and young people, but we also offer education for college and university students, festivals, and workplaces. and adults on a range of subjects related to wellbeing.

From consent to how to be a better lover, to your rights as a consumer, to strategies for supporting your mental health, we are experienced in handling challenging subjects and knowing the latest policy, research and best practices.

Personal and domestic organising is one of our most popular services, but we also offer small business and workplace organisation and tidying, heavy-duty decluttering, hoarding support, deep cleans, end of tenancy cleans and home moves in Plymouth.
