Counselling can help bring positivity and enjoyment to situations which may currently feel negative and depressing. Counselling can help to clarify emotional thoughts and processes around troubling situations, then can use that clarity to improve emotional situations. I have extensive experience with assisting clients with gambling problems, which is a learned problem habit.

Often, the reasons given to me for arriving to therapy are feature one or more of the following: anxiety, depression, sadness, self confidence, life changing illnesses, self identity, early childhood, past or present relationships, bereavements, traumatic experiences, injury and mental health diagnosis. How these issues and difficult feelings manifest in people's lives are unique and so 'reasons' may be identified as problems or difficulties with: addictions; work; intimate or family relationships; children and parenting; personal or spiritual identity, or something existential. Therapy offers to solute and salve these issues.

With over a decade of experience, I can help you clarify your goals and make meaningful progress in a way that feels manageable and authentic.

Are you distrustful, fearful and overwhelmed by your own emotions and sensations? Do you wish you could just make them go away? Issues arising from trauma or early attachment wounds may manifest in a number of ways including painful thoughts and memories, anxiety, depression, rage, physical pain and sensations (including unexplained physical symptoms, CFS, fibromyalgia and low energy). By viewing our thoughts, sensations, feelings and behaviours not as symptoms, but as parts of us that had to adapt to cope with life, we can get to know and heal these parts in a compassionate and non-pathologising way.

Hi and welcome to something a bit different. Im an Integrative therapist with a Solutions-Focused approach. This means I integrate a variety of theories specific to a client's needs with a focus on finding tangible, workable solutions to problems. After years in Private practice, I noticed an increasing demand from clients looking for shorter-term, more intense therapy, to help quickly identify the route cause of their problems, understand how they are affecting their everyday lives and answer the question 'what can I do about it?, to help clients break free of the shackles holding them back from reaching their true potential.

My own experience of therapy taught me that real change begins when we feel safe enough to open and trust. I know how hard that can be—especially after heartbreak, loss, or years of self-doubt. I work with clients who want to heal emotional wounds, reconnect with themselves, and build relationships that feel secure and alive. My approach blends counselling, mind–body awareness, and practical tools to help you feel grounded, confident, and more at peace within yourself.

The move towards seeking therapy is a big step, and one that can quite easily become daunting. There are numerous modalities, acronyms and approaches; finding the right one for you can be difficult. I aim to simplify this with my clients, by providing a grounded and present listening ear, backed up my the theory I have studied. As we get to know each other the approach you are looking for will generally become clearer. My training as an Integrative practitioner means I can draw upon various modalities, which I have found to be very helpful for 'meeting' the client exactly where they are at.

I am a senior trainee psychotherapist offering individual psychotherapy from my practice in Exeter. I’m currently completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Mindfulness-based Core Process Psychotherapy. This approach uses mindfulness to help us slow down and connect with our present-moment experience - whether that’s challenging, joyful, or somewhere in between. By becoming more present, we can explore what we’re really feeling in our minds, bodies, and relationships. With the above in mind, my aim is to offer a safe, supportive space where you can bring whatever is arising for you.

There comes a moment - sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once - when we realise something needs attention. A feeling, a pattern, a memory that won’t stay quiet. Counselling is a place where we can listen closely to what’s going on beneath the noise. It’s not about ‘saying the right thing’ - it’s about being together with what’s true, in a space that allows you to breathe a little deeper. Some people come with much to say, others bring silence or nudges that don’t yet make sense. It’s all welcome. For those who feel drawn to it, I also offer therapeutic songwriting sessions.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
