I am an experienced Counsellor specializing in Relationship issues for Individuals and Couples. I also assist with everything else, like anxiety, depression and life changes. I work online, or from lovely, private rooms in Totnes and Exeter, drawing different techniques and experience into a holistic, caring approach. Discussion and reflection helps to gain understanding, perspective and insight on issues, and for clients who wish to help deal with the more sub-conscious patterns and historical issues which are usually at the root of our stories, I provide a range of effective techniques that can help to move things forward.

Are you experiencing challenging times, or feeling stuck or overwhelmed? I can help and support you in a calm, confidential space, where you can talk freely about whatever is on your mind. It is a great relief to share your troubles with someone impartial, who won’t judge you or give you their advice. Counselling may be your first experience of someone really listening to you and understanding your situation from your perspective. We can explore your situation together, along with what you would like to change or be different. You remain in charge of what you bring to counselling and we'll move along at your pace.

My work deals universally with the reduction of suffering, your suffering. Specifically this may include Depression, Anxiety, Low Mood, Loss of purpose, Grief, Relationship issues, managing change and family problems. Often we can be lost in our thinking and we can swing, like a pendulum, between worries of the past and anxieties of the future, never really pausing to be present now. This is normal, we all have these times. However sometimes, some of us get stuck in these places and need some guidance to bring us into balance and offer us support,at difficult times in our lives.

Therapy is a journey, it can provide a safe space to explore any issues that you may be experiencing and help you to make sense of your world.

If you are reading this then you are probably feeling like you need some support and have taken the first step in seeking help which can be difficult when you are struggling. My hope is to make counselling less daunting and more accessible to all in a relaxed, calm and welcoming environment. I take an unassuming, real and empathic approach. Building a therapeutic relationship with you is at the centre of all that I do. I am a fully qualified counsellor (Adv.Dip MSc BA hons), trained on an accredited course by the NCS (The National Counselling Society). I am also a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

One of the main things that I love about my counselling work is the unique opportunity it gives me to be alongside and encourage you in the good times and bad times. I strongly believe that life should not be a lonely journey and I value the relationship element of counselling above all else. We can all at times be surrounded by others but feel completely alone in our thoughts or our troubles, not wanting to burden those we love. Through my work I have the privilege to travel alongside people as they bravely face their issues, creating with them moments of sanctuary in which they can gain perspective and find their way.

Are you experiencing discomfort in your life, that could be relating to your past, present or future? I specialise in working with Emotions and Core Beliefs that are often linked to life events, such loss, illness, accidents, moving home, relationship issues, bereavements, trauma or events that you have experienced in your childhood. This can cause repeating patterns of behaviour and can also be the root of pain held within the body. Releasing emotions and negative beliefs that are no longer helpful can enhance your life, bringing about a sense of calm, peace and spaciousness; helping you to reach your full potential.

Life can often feel both difficult and overwhelming and I offer a peaceful, private and confidential space in which you can talk through some of the issues that might be holding you back or making life feel challenging. Maybe your relationship is feeling buried under family life or intimacy has dwindled. Perhaps you are feeling unhappy at work, or are navigating difficult life events like, divorce or bereavement. Counselling is your time to explore what matters to you. We can decide together what your goals are from counselling and how I can best support you using the very best of current theory, thinking and skills.

Whether you are coming to therapy with a particular issue, a general sense of unwellness, or a deeper search for purpose and meaning, I intend to walk alongside you to help you unpack your personal story, better understand your feelings, and gradually find out and stand in who you really are. As an integrative therapist, I work creatively and intuitively by drawing from a variety of approaches — from psychodynamic, to Jungian, humanistic and existential — all the while holding in mind a transpersonal perspective, and a firm belief in the capacity of the human psyche to heal its wounds and break free of limitations.

I am offering a low cost counselling service. Through my voluntary work I see the real need for assessable counselling and I am now able to provide that through Zoom or telephone. I first discovered counselling when I was referred to one many years ago. The experience for me was life changing. It was one of my first relationships that valued my choices and it and me gave me the tools, knowledge and courage to make changes in my life. I believe no one will know the truth about themselves until you find it by yourself. In doing so will give you greater value and empower you to make your own choices.

Losses in life can be hard to bear, especially in the world we are in right now. Anxiety, stress, anger and frustration are all feelings that increase when we are distanced from each other. I provide a safe non-judgemental environment for you to be in to allow you to explore the issues you are coping with and to navigate a way through to a better way of being. I offer an integrative approach which allows me to provide you with counselling that is bespoke to you and provides you with the best counselling possible. Please feel free to reach out to speak about what your concerns are and to see if I am the right "fit" for you.

I have over a decade of experience working therapeutically with individuals, couples and groups of all ages. I support my clients who bring a broad range of issues by using gentle yet powerful techniques that help them discover healthy strategies for coping. I see counselling and therapeutic work as a collaborative process in which the client brings her or his experiences in both a conscious and an unconscious way and I bring my awareness, my experience and my respectful curiosity.

I understand the importance of a comfortable, safe space for clients to share and I can draw on my extensive integrative training to tailor the sessions to meet your needs.
