"My ideal client would come with a willingness to explore and be challenged. I will assist them in containing their emotions so that they are able to work safely and at a pace that encourages growth and change in a healthy way. Every client comes with unique issues and from my seat I view the issues as one, "a block in the road to wellness". I am keenly aware that all clients have a unique end point they wish to reach. For one this might be "just to feel better", while another may want to look at personal development. For me, I work with the client where they are and acknowledge and celebrate achievements. "

"I am a qualified Integrative Therapist. I am also a member of the Counselling in Prison Network. I can help with past and present issues that you feel you would like to explore in a warm and safe environment. I offer a free 30 minute no obligation session."

"I am a very experienced psychotherapist, counsellor and supervisor based in both central Exeter and Silverton. I provide a confidential, safe and impartial space where you can talk about difficult thoughts or emotional issues. I specialise in working with my clients to improve their quality of life and relationships.

"I am a Counsellor and 'Creative cognitive behavioural therapist'. I have worked within GP surgeries, NHS, Youth enquiry Service and Cruse bereavement care. I have been recently working for the NHS for the last eight years working with clients who experience anxiety and depression and related issues. I love my work and aim to create a trusting atmosphere for clients to explore emotions, thoughts and feelings in a safe environment. I encourage clients to work at their own pace with no pressure or expectation from me enabling them to move forward in their own time."

"If you are seeking the opportunity to talk matters though in a non judgemental and safe environment, I provide the support and understanding to empower you to consider the issues you wish to explore. Working together to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and why you are experiencing the difficulties that you have. Enabling you to develop new methods of coping with these difficulties. We will explore patterns in your thoughts and behaviours which will help you to gain a sense of control and stability in your everyday life."

"I am registered and private practice practitioner offers a safe space to talk, face-to-face and online counselling for individuals and couple age from from 18 above."

"The therapeutic space that client and therapist build together is an open space where thoughts, feelings and behaviours can be looked at in an accepting and allowing, as well as real and honest way. Doing so can help with issues such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, anger, relationship problems as well as less easily identifiable feelings such as existential insecurity or a general sense of meaninglessness. It can be difficult to talk to those close to you as they often, understandably, struggle to remain impartial."

"Welcome! whereas I work with all aspects of emotional and mental health and welbeing, I have a special interest in communication, relationship and pre & postal issues, either in individuals or couples. I have been working as a counsellor and psychotherapist since 2001 and work as a supervisor too with practices in both Exeter and London. I believe that many of our difficulties develop as a result of our early life and past experiences, including trauma. We repeat patterns in our lives in the hope that things will get resolved. Therapy can facilitate being able to recognise these patterns and approach them from a new perspective."

"I aim to assist you to make positive changes and move forward with your life. I am experienced in working with people who have struggled with feelings such as anxiety, anger, fear and loss. I will help you to understand your thoughts and feelings so that you can identify what needs to change, and work with you to find ways to overcome your difficulties using methods of working that suit you."

"I am a fully qualified, experienced Counsellor on the National Counselling Society's register which is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority, set up by the Department of Health. I work non-judgmentally with warmth, empathy and understanding and have a calm, gentle, caring approach. People come to see me when they are facing difficulties in their life and troubles from their past. Sometimes they don't really know what is troubling them, they just know that something is not quite right. Everyone is different, so I work with each person's specific need."

"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."

"For over 10 years the focus of my counselling and psychotherapy has been working with children, adolescents, young adults and families. I have worked extensively with this client group in many settings. I supervise practitioners across Devon and Cornwall who deliver counselling, psychotherapy and other support to young people and families. I am passionate about facilitating change and transformation through creative, dynamic, integrative therapy."
