I firmly believe that we are fundamentally relational beings, ones that need security, understanding & care above all else. Real change comes not from trying to fix thinking patterns, self-concepts or the past, but in shifting relational dynamics in the here and now and finding new ways of being with another. This is what I focus on in therapy with my clients,

I am a very experienced and fully qualified psychotherapist, counsellor and supervisor based in both central Exeter and Broadclyst. I am accredited by the UKCP and hold an Msc in TA psychotherapy. With many years experience, I provide a confidential, and impartial space where you can talk about difficult thoughts or emotional issues.

My practice is grounded in my commitment to create a safe, confidential, secure and non-judgemental environment where my clients can freely explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours at a pace that feels right for them. All too often modern living can leave us with very little space to think about our own needs. Our relationships and health can suffer as a result. Therapy can be helpful when emotional suffering becomes too much and at times of crisis when life can feel difficult or unmanageable. If you are looking for individual or couples therapy, reach out for a free initial discussion to see if you think I can help you.

Perhaps you are feeling stuck in some aspect of your life or aren’t sure of the way ahead in your life. Transitions and dilemmas can occur at any point during a person’s life. These might include marriage or becoming a couple: changes in a private or professional role: uncertainty in identity: relationship difficulties: loss; pregnancy: child birth; and the challenges presented during the ageing process. Sometimes we need to make sense of what has happened to us and sort out our emotions.
I have worked with a range of difficulties which can occur at any point during a person’s life. I am familiar and happy to work with difference.

Do you feel stuck, anxious or overwhelmed? Perhaps worry, lack of confidence or low self esteem is having a negative effect on your life, causing you to feel isolated and alone. Talking to loved one about what we are experiencing can feel difficult, we worry that we are putting to much on them or we don't want them to worry about us. Talking to a counsellor can be really helpful at these times and can show a way forward. However I understand that a good counselling relationship is vital to support you in moving toward your goals.
