Counselling in Exeter

Sometimes life can seem "too much".  Maybe you are feeling stuck and not sure how to move forward?  If you are in a place of overwhelm, counselling can help you to talk through your feelings, explore who you are and learn to cope with the struggles that life can bring. I offer a calm and supportive space where I will listen without judgement, something which can be difficult to find when confiding in friends or family. I currently work with adults and young people over 16.

Are you going through relationship problems, have you experienced loss, abuse or criticizing yourself a lot? Is your head racing or do you feel burdened with worries? Sometimes we face challenging times which can feel too difficult to work through on our own. Counselling can offer a place where you can feel supported while gaining clarity and more understanding of yourself – who you are, where you come from and where you want to go. How would it be like to talk to someone without judgment and to focus entirely on yourself?

Maybe the reason you are here today is because you are experiencing feelings that you would rather not continue to carry alone. My practice is called ‘Accanto’ and I have built my service around this name, which translated means ‘next to or beside,’ and quite simply that is exactly where I will be for you. I do have an A-Z of what I cover but actually this is about YOU feeling that you can bring anything you need into the space that I offer. Counselling is initially about feeling better about all the different parts of yourself, learning to love your whole self so that you can then invite love and acceptance from others.

I am a somatic and equine facilitated therapist, here to help you with enjoying your life in all areas. I will work alongside you - and with you - to address stress, resolve trauma, provide addiction support and address relationship and career issues & to help you identify and meet goals of wellbeing. I work with a dynamic and varied tool box as appropriate to each client: somatic tools, breath practices, psychotherapy, movement, mindfulness, psycho-education, nervous system regulation skills, equine therapy and more.

Hello. We all need someone to talk to when life is difficult. Counselling can help you understand more about who you are, to make better sense of past or current events, your feelings and how you relate. I seek to provide a heartfelt, safe and accompanied exploration of any issues you bring. I will seek to create a trusting alliance with you and provide a place you can find and be yourself. The therapy I practice -Core Process- works with feelings, emotions, thoughts and the felt senses towards supporting you to move through any fears and anxieties and generate a greater sense of health and wellbeing into your everyday life.

Do you feel your potential in life is thwarted by past or present difficulties or trauma? Has your equilibrium, confidence and self esteem been undermined by this? Do you feel disempowered and unable to move forward? Sometimes, life's difficulties can prevent us from forming healthy relationships with ourselves and others, and prevent us thriving. I am a UKCP Psychotherapist in training, working to support people suffering with mental and emotional distress find more ease, balance, meaning and health in their lives.

Starting therapy takes courage and persistence. If you have been contemplating change and now feel ready to proceed then you have already taken the first step. You now need to find a therapist that feels right. So the initial session is useful for this. In this first session I will collaborate with you to plan a way forward in easy to manage stages and offer tools to assist this process. If I feel I cannot help you I will tell you immediately and you can go on to explore other options. My aim is to work in a time limited fashion and I will estimate the number of sessions we may need.

"You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection". (Siddhartha Gautama). I work with couples and individuals to help foster and understanding and self awareness, which can lead to choices and paths that may not otherwise be seen. I endeavour to help people find their true voice and inner worth that doesn't rely on outside influences and factors, but can remain strong and in balance - not matter what life has in store. In my work with couples, I try to foster a positive atmosphere that recognises the many external and historical factors that can distort even the best of relationships.

Sometimes life and the problems that arise can seem confusing even overwhelming. If you are struggling with making sense of what you are feeling counselling may begin to help you to understand what is going on for you. Maybe you struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues or have endured a trauma of some sort during childhood or as an adult. Whatever is making you feel empty, incomplete, dissatisfied or anxious let's explore these feelings together in a safe, empathic, non-judgmental and confidential space.

As a Certified Counsellor and registered member of the BACP, I'm passionate about promoting positive mental health and happiness. Whether working online or face to face, I aim to provide you with a warm,  safe, confidential space where I will walk alongside you to understand what you're going through, what you need and how we can best work together to achieve your goals. Counselling requires a degree of vulnerability so I promise to bring my authentic, non judgmental self to our sessions as I honor the innately human aspect of the relationship and your own unique, individual characteristics, helping you do the same.

Do you feel as though you need to be heard, truly understood and supported without fear of judgement? Maybe you would like to look back at your life and learn something about the experiences that you have been through that have bought you to this moment. At some point during our life, we can all have feelings of overwhelm, isolation and despair…you are not alone! Finding Me Therapy can offer you a safe, confidential, trusting, therapeutic relationship so that together we can help you to find the true, authentic you… the you, that you have been searching for.

Are you affected by anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger or addiction? Are you overwhelmed or disheartened by difficulties relating to life challenges or changes? Do you need support to re-think or repair a relationship, or to reassess priorities or work-life balance? If so, I can help. My aim, if you choose to work with me, is that you will leave each session feeling a little better, more hopeful and more confident in your ability to recover, or make the changes that you would like to see in your life.

My name is Helen, a counsellor based in Torquay. I am passionate about working with you when you are struggling with a problem in your life, and finding it hard to cope. Perhaps a loss has left you feeling distressed, unable to move forwards or there may be feelings of anxiety or depression. Are you finding life hard to enjoy and wondering what to do about it? A loss can take many forms, job loss, bereavement, divorce, death of a pet, the end of a significant relationship or loss of direction in life for example. My aim is to help you navigate through those difficult times and to help you reconnect with yourself.

I offer person-centred CBT for people who want to better understand their difficulties and feel ready to engage in support to make positive change. You may be experiencing a new difficulty or perhaps it's something that has been present for many years. You might have some specific goals for change or maybe you hope to develop some specific coping tools to use in everyday life. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, PTSD, bi-polar disorder, voice hearing and psychosis. I currently work at a University training CBT therapists and supervisors. In Oct 2022 I am training in EMDR, a therapy for treating trauma.

Good therapy is about change: changing reactions, behaviours, a difficult aspect of self, challenging attitudes/beliefs about yourself or your story. I love working with clients who are prepared to jump in, take risks and seek solutions - this is the way to ensure real change. I will jump in and risk too. I value being human and involved in the therapy and am also practically minded and view the best wisdom as something that can directly be applied to life. A supervisee recently described me as "real, relational, ordinary, practical and not floaty/wispy". I like to incorporate psychoeducation and relevant theoretical information.

Hello, my name is Tracy. Thank you for looking at my profile. You may be considering counselling for any number of reasons. You may be feeling lost, low, anxious or confused. You might want to talk about something difficult that has happened to you. You may not know exactly what you want to talk about but you know that things don't feel quite 'right'. That's ok, we can work it out together. I can help with many mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, relationship difficuties or work stress.

Welcome. I offer a compassionate, heart-centred approach to existential crises. Our search for meaning and purpose, who we really are and why we are here often comes under the guise of other problems or illness. We may experience depression, anxiety, grief about our planet, shame, deep loneliness, identity concerns, suicidal feelings or quest for soul and and a spiritual path. During therapy, I can help you develop self-compassion and inner strength, so you can face difficulties while clarity and self-knowledge grow, leaving behind what is not supporting you and moving on to live your authentic self, your truth and your dreams.

I am a BACP registered Integrative Psychotherapeutic counsellor & Supervisor based in Wadebridge. I specialise in working with: Addiction, Trauma, PTSD and Abuse. I understand depression and anxiety and how it can effect every day life. There are a number of reasons why you might want to engage in therapy: Work, bullying, relationships issues and sexuality or simply the sense that there should be more to life.

The most important thing first: No matter what place you’re in - there is hope for change and for things to get better. You may be reading this feeling vulnerable, disempowered, dejected, fearing disappointment or simply too overwhelmed to know how you feel. I'll meet you wherever you are and with whatever you bring and we can walk through your confusion and distress together. I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of people with an equally diverse range of individual challenges. Spending time exploring your challenges can bring clarity, empower you to break with old patterns and help you find a positive way forward.
