Along the journey, we will explore your past, look at your present and see how you perceive the future. We will help you become more aware of your values, beliefs and limitations and help you connect and improve your relationship with yourself. This process may be challenging, yet extremely rewarding as we access the changes you want to make towards living the life that you want to live.

Welcome! I have been working as a counsellor and psychotherapist since 1998 and work as a supervisor too, with practices in Exeter and London and online. I believe that many of our difficulties develop due to our early life and past experiences, including trauma. We repeat patterns in our lives hoping that things will get resolved. Sometimes these patterns are unhelpful to us. Therapy offers, in a confidential and safe space, the possible facilitation of being able to recognise these patterns and approach them from a new perspective.

Hello, I'm a Integrative therapist specialising in childhood trauma/attachment issues and chronic stress/ anxiety.
I work with people who have a feeling, deep down, that they'e not quite good enough or loveable and this has led to anxiety and depression. They often have an inability to trust themselves and a tendency to put the needs of others before their own. I help them to develop their self-esteem, learn to trust their gut as well as look after their own needs.

Specialties and Focus: Anxiety, stress, and confidence Professionals and leaders under pressure When you know what to do but can’t do it Relationship and workplace dynamics Meaning, direction, and personal growth Couples therapy
I offer a calm, confidential space where you can take time to attend to yourself - to make sense of what’s happening, your role in what is happening in your life and what you need next. Many of my clients are capable professionals who have already tried to solve things through insight or effort, yet still feel stuck. If you know what to do, intend to do the right thing, and somehow can’t follow through, our work can help uncover why and shift what lies underneath. Together we look at both your inner patterns, the emotional and relational habits that shape you, and how you feel and relate to others.

Do you feel there is more to you beneath anxiety, emotional distress or unconscious survival patterns and life's demands?
These concerns are more common than we often admit, yet they can feel isolating. My approach integrates psychodynamic, humanistic and trauma-informed therapy somatic awareness and creative work within a 3 Body framework, connecting mind body and soul to support deeper self enquiry emotional regulation and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, stress, low self esteem, low confidence, panic attacks, relationship problems, feeling isolated and alone, and in trying to deal with these issues have found yourself addicted to a substance or behaviour, then please contact me and we can start on finding the solution that you need.
Hi my name is Pauline and I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist (full member of BSCH) and Counsellor (registered member of BACP) specialising in Addictions and the issues related to the addiction and the probable cause. When we are at the stage where we are googling Counsellors then this is usually because we are hoping to get the right person we will gain rapport with. The right Counsellor will allow us to open up completely about issues that we have been bottling up inside us for whatever reason. We want to be able to talk freely and easily without being judged by that comment or look that straight away makes us close up and squash those unwanted feelings and thoughts back down into their box again because, maybe, we feel ashamed and guilty. We want the issue to be dealt with in a non judgemental manner. We want that someone who will enable us to feel that we are OK. That it's not all our fault and will help us find a solution.
