Sessions are available online or in person in the beautiful town of Totnes.
There comes a moment - sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once - when we realise something needs attention. A feeling, a pattern, a memory that won’t stay quiet.
Counselling is a place where we can listen closely to what’s going on beneath the noise. It’s not about ‘saying the right thing’ - it’s about being together with what’s true, in a space that allows you to breathe a little deeper.
Some people come with much to say, others bring silence or nudges that don’t yet make sense. It’s all welcome.
For those who feel drawn to it, I also offer therapeutic songwriting sessions.

Suffering is often what stops us in our tracks. It brings us to a halt and encourages us to turn towards what is painful. This turn requires a great deal of bravery and willingness to respond to what is calling for our attention, and is often a pivotal moment in our lives. Counselling is a held space in which I support the client to not only explore what is coming up for them, but to move closer and find new ways of relating to it. From personal experience, I have grown the most in times of difficulty. I know of despair, bereavement, stagnation, shock, hurt, trauma….the human experience of being here in this world.

Anxiety is normal. Yes, I just said that! Yet many of us grow up with the idea that anxious feelings are negative and to be avoided at all costs. I spent years trying to escape my anxiety, which only made it worse. The more I pushed, the more it pushed back, until I spent all my time pushing. It was exhausting, resulting in OCD behaviours and panic attacks. Then I learnt to change my relationship with anxiety. I realised that to be anxious is to be human. I stopped struggling and instead began to work with my anxiety in new ways that gave me more options, both in the moment and in the long term.

Some clients prefer to be online or talk via the phone from the privacy of their own homes, and a hybrid option is also available to suit your needs.
It can be challenging to share our concerns and fears with others. We often worry that our struggles might be too heavy for our friends and family. I provide a private and secure environment where you can safely explore your thoughts and feelings. There is no timeline for grief, and no loss or challenge is too significant to discuss in therapy. You are not required to rush through your healing; this is your personal space to release the weight of life's burdens and reflect on your current and past experiences at your own speed. I offer a nurturing platform and my expertise to support your journey of personal growth and acceptance.

If you’ve grown used to tuning in to what others need, you may find it hard to know what you need — or even what you’re feeling. You might find your sense of worth rises and falls depending on how people respond to you. Over time, this can leave you anxious, unseen, and uncertain of who you really are.
In our work together I offer a calm, steady space where you can begin to turn towards yourself. A place where your thoughts, feelings and needs are invited to be seen — even if you’re not sure yet what they are.

I work in-person and online
I specialise in working with anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma and work issues. I am highly trained in trauma-informed psychotherapy and coaching. My integrative approach blends transactional analysis psychotherapy, EMDR, and ancient healing practices to address root causes for good. In our first meeting, we’ll discuss goals, agree how we’ll work, and create a flexible plan for lasting change, usually with weekly sessions.

I'm also happy to offer online sessions, or a mixture of both.
I offer a welcoming space when times are difficult; you may need someone to talk to about relationship issues, support with feeling low or anxious, or maybe you'd like to explore feelings about your past. I provide a neuro-affirming space; whether you have a formal diagnosis or are self-diagnosed. My experience includes supporting teenagers, as well as adults. I also have an interest in supporting parents, including those with premature babies; something I have personal experience of. We can work together to help you feel less stressed or worried, to find more balance in life, to notice your strengths, and discover coping skills.

Online Counsellors
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
