Counselling in Exeter

A warm welcome to you; thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. I’m a qualified therapist involving Humanistic and integrative counselling. I have professional and personal experience working in and through Anxiety, Stress, Low Self-Esteem, Depression, intimacy, various addictions, and issues around bullying. I am ENM and Kink friendly, having experience working with those in non-traditional relationships and various alternative Subcultures or communities. I also offer concessionary rates ranging from £40-£60.

A time and space to enquire into your life and the issues affecting you. Psychoanalysis offers a chance to discover why our lives may differ from our expectations and how we might be able to do things differently.

I facilitate space that allows co-created sessions, that suit the individual needs of those that I work with. There is no pressure to make art within the sessions but there is always a selection of art materials such as clay, painting, drawing and collage materials, alongside other creative tools to aid exploration of your inner world. Through the therapy, my clients are able to build a stronger sense of who they are and of the patterns that have formed in their lives and too consequently, begin to make the changes in their life and in their relationships that they desire.

It doesn't matter when you bloom, it matters that you do. I see psychotherapy as a kind and safe space for you to be seen and heard. We all have a core goodness and ability to flourish in our lives. Sometimes we need a little help to find our way.

I help clients from 16 up to understand their relationship difficulties whether with other people or with themselves. Together, we can decide what we focus on and what is the best approach for you. I see clients online and in person, either outdoors or indoors.

I offer a welcoming space for you to explore whatever is happening in your life and support you to face difficult circumstances, feelings and relationships, finding new perspectives and resources. I use Processwork, a creative approach to therapy and facilitation, to help clients work things through in a professional and confidential space. During sessions we bring awareness to what's happening, leading to learning and change. In particular, paying attention to disturbances can hold the key to discovering new ways of being in the world.

Clients come to me for help with a range of issues including improving their relationships, navigating or creating change and gaining confidence in themselves. Maybe difficult experiences from your past have become obstacles to you being who you want to be now. Perhaps you're feeling stuck and want help getting unstuck. I can offer you a safe, accepting space in which to explore and grow. I have particular experience with ADHD, gender diversity and consensual nonmonogamy (e.g. polyamory, swingers, ENM) and I am sex and kink-positive. My approach is affirming whether or not these factors relate directly to our work together.

Now offering walk and walk sessions - Hi! I'm Jamie. I'm a person-centred counsellor with particular experience in working with people around trauma and identity. I aim to provide a non-judgemental space where you can explore what's going on for you, and what influences your feelings around it. I believe that understanding our experience is the key to feeling like we're in control of our own lives. We can work together to establish what you want to work on, and potentially a time frame to work within - your choice!

As an Accredited EMDR and CBT Therapist, my specialism is helping people rapidly build confidence, resilience, self esteem, skills, strengths and new strategies. I’m passionate about helping people overcome trauma, anxiety, OCD, stress, anger, struggles with relationships, communication, doubt, authenticity, identity, transitions, emotional regulation and wellbeing. My style is practical and encouraging, warm and down to earth. My evidence based approach is firmly rooted in what truly works to help people find lasting freedom. My emphasis is helping you make the changes that’ll make the biggest positive differences to your life.

Gestalt therapy is embodied and relational. My aim is to nourish a felt sense of wholeness for you, and support your growth in the here-and-now. I have expertise in recovery from abuse, gender and sexuality, transitions and crisis, and integration of psychedelic, spiritual and extraordinary experience. I am committed to anti-oppressive practice, affirming of trans experience, knowledgeable in issues of gender, sexual and relationship diversity (GSRD), and work with the difference that makes you who you are. I draw from rich traditions in psychology, mythology, ecology, spirituality, and the arts, as well as my own life experience.

What informs my practice is a concern for respecting and valuing difference and the importance of caring communication in all relationships. We work together to bring about your own awareness of what needs to change in order move on in your life. Sometimes we are overwhelmed at what is happening to us, or we feel we have no control over our own lives. We can explore new ways of understanding ourselves and our relationships so that we can influence or even change our future. My approach is to work in collaboration with you. I am not the expert in your life, you are, but we can both bring our knowledges and expertise into the relation
