Professional and experienced counselling, psychotherapy and supervision in Barnstaple and North Devon. I offer therapy from my clinic located in Barnstaple town center and also via online video or telephone. Finding the way forward when life becomes difficult can be a challenging prospect and choosing a therapist can be daunting.

As a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, my work uses a relational integrative approach. This way of working is firmly rooted in building a safe and compassionate therapeutic relationship with my clients.

Anxiety, depression, loss of confidence or grief, these are just some of the ways in which our experience of life can be adversely impacted. Hello my name is Peter and I believe I have an intuitive sensitivity for my client’s emotional world which helps me to understand their thoughts and feelings, this in turn creates a strong connection between us that gives my client the confidence to share those important thoughts and feelings and together we can work to move forward. Sometimes we can experience problems, emotional difficulties and may not know why or understand what is happening, but we know things are not quite right.

My practice reflects a lived personal and professional experience of working with women who are on the edges of difficult life events and transitions. I know from experience that it is often the mundane everyday dance of life, absent of traumatic events or history that brings anxiety, exhaustion, or disorientation. Infertility, new motherhood, parenting, loss of intimacy, menopause, singleness, and empty nest to mention a few. I also have a special interest in individuals of any age or gender whose families affected by historical abuse, illness, accident, loss, infertility, divorce, etc.

Do you want a clearer focus, a 'lighter' way of being?

Hi, thank you for visiting my profile. We all struggle at times with difficult and overpowering emotions. There can often be underlying reasons which we're not able to control or fully understand without help. Together we would look at your unique experience of life and how that is affecting both yourself and those around you. Sessions appeal to those looking to create changes, whilst knowing that a safe and kind therapeutic relationship will provide support and guidance along the way. Ultimately, we seek to find relief and peace from renewed personal balance and healthy forward momentum.

Are you tired of overthinking and never feeling good enough? Are your relationships often difficult or disappointing? Are you struggling to relax and enjoy life? When life is hard, it’s difficult to feel hope for the future. It can feel like setting yourself up for a fall and you're not sure whether you've got the strength to get back up again. I can help you understand more about yourself, why you feel like you do and how to bring about real, lasting change.

If you’re feeling spun out or wrung out from anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and its related emotions and problems you’ve come to the right place. You may be looking for a safe space to talk things through, or practical strategies to discover and reach your life goals or address a specific problem. You may be unsure about what brings you to therapy, but know in your body that it's time to start dealing with some of the discomfort and distress that's disrupting your enjoyment of life. You've already shown up with a sense of curiosity and courage by reading this, so why not take another step on the journey and schedule a session?

“Because You are the One that Matters” Sometimes we feel like we’re stuck or are moving backwards when we want to go forwards. Whether one tangible issue has prompted you to pursue therapy or you are grappling with a series of existential questions, purpose, identity, faith, doubt, we will consistently and reliably join you to navigate uncharted territory as your healing begins. If you are fed up with the way that you feel, see things and want something different for yourself? You don't have to face life's difficulties alone.

Do you feel stuck, anxious or overwhelmed? Perhaps panic, worry, lack of confidence or low self esteem is having a negative effect on your life. I understand how this may cause you to feel isolated and alone, perhaps you have tried to express how you feel with loved ones, or you may feel unable to find the words. I realise how important it is for you to find a counsellor that you feel comfortable with and how this is a big first step toward's improving your situation.
