Individual counselling & wellbeing sessions.
Arrange a session with Beach Health Retreat without booking accommodation or a retreat programme. Explore the options below, then tell us what you are interested in.
You don’t need to book a retreat.
Most of our work is residential: a private retreat with accommodation and a programme agreed with you. But counselling, massage and bodywork, and online counselling can each be arranged on their own, as a single appointment, with no overnight stay and nothing else attached.
These are not retreat extras. They are the same personal work Deb and Ian do within a retreat, available to people who simply want one session.
An enquiry is not a confirmed appointment. We talk through what you’re looking for, who it would be with and when, and confirm the arrangements with you before anything is booked.
What you can arrange.
Each session is with Deb Pepperdine or Ian Trew personally. Who it is with is agreed beforehand; both do not automatically attend.
In-person counselling
Time to talk with Deb Pepperdine or Ian Trew, with your practitioner and session arrangements agreed beforehand.

Online counselling

What guests have said about Deb and Ian.
