Chronic Pain Counselling in Exeter

Are you struggling with anxiety, insecurities, or negative thoughts and feelings? Maybe you've gone through some distressing or traumatic experiences in your life. I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist and I specialise in working with: anxiety, trauma (including PTSD/Complex PTSD), difficult childhood experiences, chronic pain / illness , relationship insecurities and phobias.

I'm Holly, a clinical psychologist who works with 12 to 24 year olds with physical health challenges. Our physical health and mental health are closely linked, so living with a visible or invisible illness can also impact on our thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Thoughts like 'it's not fair', 'why me?', 'I wish it would go away', are normal, but can cause extra suffering on top of physical health challenges that are not going away. A fear of the dentist or needles can stop you getting the treatment or vaccinations you need. I can help you find ways to manage these challenges and get on with living your best life.

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.

Perhaps you’re experiencing chronic pain , unexplained physical symptoms, or low energy. Maybe you’re suffering anxiety, depression, uncontrolled anger, or emotional problems. These might be the signs that you’ve experienced some kind of trauma or traumatic event in your life that you may or may not remember. It could be that you find it difficult to concentrate, or to regulate sleep patterns. You may just have a sense that things aren’t quite right, and something needs to change.

I am an online and telephone counsellor. This type of counselling can be helpful if you have fluctuating availability, if you move around regularly, or if you care for a relative. You might feel anxious or depressed or want to talk about difficulties or worries. Counselling can help us to process emotions such as guilt, fear, or anger, and deal with difficult experiences, such as trauma or bereavement. I work in a non-judgmental way and provide support for a number of mental health issues. Send me a short message-many people take the first step towards counselling this way!

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.

Clients generally come to me when they are struggling with some aspect of their emotions, thoughts or behaviour.
