Feeling stressed, anxious, annoyed, frustrated, well then you're probably thinking there's something up with your mental health. As an Integrative Counsellor, I can work with you in a variety of different ways to get to the bottom of it. As well as offering in person counselling from my therapy room in North Devon, I am also qualified and have extensive experience of counselling therapeutically online. Imagine not having to travel to appointments, instead your sitting in the comfort and safety of your own home, relaxed in the knowledge you are receiving first class therapy.

I am a very experienced and professional therapist with over twelve thousand client contact hours behind me in individual, couples and group work. I feel my experience coupled with my life experiences makes me the person and the therapist I am today. My training in the person-centred approach (three years) and in Transactional Analysis (seven years) together with continuing professional and personal development and supervision give me a strong theoretical and experiential focus to bring to my client work. I work very much in a relational way (research indicates that the therapeutic relationship is key to positive therapy outcomes)

I value working deeply and curiously to untangle challenges in people's experiences. So often we are stuck in relationships or in situations that don't serve us. However, with support, we can find out about where these issues originate and how to move forward with compassion. I work with attachment theory to unpick relational patterns and look at reactions and choices we make in life. I work with clients' Parts to begin to understand their inner world and build new ways of communicating, growing self-esteem and confidence. I love working with clients from a base of an authentic and trusting relationship on a medium/long-term basis.

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed? It's hard to be alone with those feelings, and it's also a hard and brave step to talk about it. I provide empathetic, non-judgemental and down to earth online therapy. Perhaps you've survived really difficult experiences like abusive relationships, narcissistic abuse, or childhood neglect. You might be experiencing burnout, depression and anxiety, challenges at work. Existing as a neurodivergent adult, feeling that you're always masking who you really are (or trying to find who you really are).

Has a recent or past negative experience left you feeling lost or stuck? Maybe you’ve tried to just get on with life but inside you still feel broken, replaying events in your mind and asking yourself why or how this happened. Perhaps you know what happened to you was traumatic or maybe you’ve told yourself it “wasn’t that bad”. Some days you seem to feel all the emotions all at once, and other days you feel nothing at all. Other people simply don’t understand, which may leave you feeling alone and like you don’t matter. You are not alone and you do matter. You deserve freedom and peace from your past experiences.

We utilise art, drama, play, creativity, and embodiment, combined within a psychotherapy framework.
There are times in life when we can feel disconnected from ourselves – going through the motions, carrying anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties or the impact of past experiences, whilst feeling unsure how to move forward. We believe healing involves more than talking. Our team of Embodied (Somatic) and Arts Psychotherapists works with the wisdom of the soul, mind and body, helping you explore experiences that may be difficult to put into words. Through conversation, creativity, movement, imagery and reflection, we support deeper understanding, connection and lasting change. Sessions available online across major UK cities.

Are you adversely affected by negative or unwanted emotions? A large focus in my work is helping my clients to achieve conscious control of an otherwise subconscious process. After 6 - 8 sessions of working with me, you will have much better control of your emotions, therefore a lot of issues that revolve around unwanted emotions will no longer be an issue. If you're interested in DBT, get in touch and I'll show you another approach that gets much better results with far less effort in a significantly shorter timeframe.

It isn't often, in our everyday lives, that we feel truly heard, understood and accepted without sensing judgement or criticism from others. I deeply acknowledge and understand the loneliness that comes from struggling in silence with life's difficulties. Therapy offers you a calm space to begin to tell your story; permission to pause and reflect on what you have been through, validate your response to trauma and loss and gently navigate the path forward. I will support you on your therapeutic journey, gently empowering you to realise your inner resources and ways of coping and navigating your world so that you feel more in control.

You've tried everything to "fix" your OCD. You've read self-help books, googled all sorts, promised to try harder tomorrow. But here's what you've discovered: the more you fight it, the worse it gets. The checking spirals. The avoidance spreads. The intrusive thoughts get louder and louder. You're exhausted from battling your own mind, and you're wondering if maybe you're just broken. Here's the truth: you're not broken. Your brain is doing exactly what brains do, it's trying to keep you safe, just in a not so useful way. The pathways back to the life you want are still there; you just need someone who can help you see them again.

I am here to support your healing process. Looking for a therapist is a courageous first step. I have found that common themes clients bring to therapy include: Feelings of shame and a lack of worthiness; being very self-critical; Feeling rejected, hurt, and alone; Stuck in relationships that are not fulfilling; Feeling that your life lacks purpose; Traumatic experiences that feel like they define you. Do any of these sound familiar? Would it help to have a space to work through these issues, to let go, and to feel greater freedom in your life? If any of these issues resonate with you then we can work together to make a difference.
