Life can sometimes feel heavy and overwhelming. I offer a calm, private, and confidential space where you can share thoughts and feelings.

You may also be coping with painful life changes such as divorce or bereavement.
Counselling is your time — a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters to you. Together, we’ll explore what you hope to gain from therapy and how I can best support you, using the most up-to-date understanding, skills, and approaches.

I have worked in the NHS for over 20 years and I realise that therapy can be a new and unusual approach for people. I often work with folk who are finding things hard, and need a neutral form of support. I can offer direct support, teaching and practice in cognitive and behavioural techniques, or relaxation and mindfulness ideas to help. The goals that a person wants to work towards might be crystal clear to them, or they might refine these as we work together.

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.
