I believe that the therapy relationship is key to personal growth, feeling understood, supported and helped through challenging and distressing life experiences.
I provide a space to explore what is going on in your life. Any issue, big or small is valued, together we can work through anything from daily struggles to deep-rooted issues. In a fast-paced world, with constant pressures on us, it can be difficult to find the emotional and physical space for yourself and your feelings. This is what I can help you with.

I am an Accredited MBACP counsellor and psychotherapist and BPF offering individual, couple therapy and online therapy in Exeter and Bristol.
I work from a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic perspective, exploring how early experiences and unconscious processes influence current feelings, thoughts, and relationships. This approach helps clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their emotional world, uncovering patterns that may be contributing to distress or relational difficulties.

We can all struggle with our relationships, both sexually & emotionally, and talking about these problems can be particularly daunting.
Taking the first step to start therapy can be a very difficult one, so I make sure to provide an open, safe and calming space. During our time together I will aim to make you feel safe, validated and listened to. I use a combination of relational therapeutic work and real life tasks and exercises. To either undertake individually or with a partner/s.

I specialise in ANXIETY, LOW MOOD, RELATIONSHIPS, ANGER MANAGEMENT, COMMUNICATION ISSUES, STRESS, LOSS OF DIRECTION and BEREAVEMENT, and I work in other wider therapy areas, as most clients each have their own personal mixture of issues.

You are not broken. You may be feeling emotional pain, distress, or psychological strain, but that doesn’t mean you are damaged. These responses often reflect your strength and resilience. What you're experiencing is an emotional build-up, not a breakdown. You might be living with anxiety, depression, grief, low self-worth, or trauma. Over time, you may have built defences to cope and protect yourself. These patterns helped you survive, but they are not your truest self. Healing begins by gently reconnecting with the parts of you that have been hidden, and making space for who you truly are.

I have experience working with clients from gender, sexual & relationship diverse backgrounds.
I have found that interpersonal relationship issues often intersect with deeper themes, such as patterns of relating formed in childhood, feelings of anxiety or overwhelm, identity exploration, or a sense of being stuck. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore these interconnected areas together and work toward positive change.
