Hello! I am a Clinical Psychologist who enjoys offering support to Children and Young People and their Parents with all aspects of children's well-being. Often, I am approached by young people and/or their parents looking for help regarding low mood, anxieties, school difficulties, coping with health concerns and other tricky issues. If you have any queries about how I may be able to help, just call me or email me and I will be happy to talk with you about how I may be able to help.

I am a professionally qualified Integrative Counsellor, experienced in working with young people and adults with a wide range of issues. I have a special interest in stress and anxiety, in how the nervous system works and how it impacts our mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. I use my experience as a Shiatsu practitioner and my mindfulness practice to help my clients to understand how their body and mind are relating to each other and incorporate mindfulness and relaxation exercises into my sessions where appropriate to help manage anxiety symptoms.

Hello, I'm Rachael. I have a warm, down to earth approach and I can offer you my empathy, support and kindness and I will listen and validate the difficult emotions you are experiencing. I provide a secure place, where you will be able to talk about your thoughts and feelings in confidence, without the fear of being judged. I know the thought of having counselling can be daunting, but I will help you to feel comfortable and relaxed. All my clients and their issues are extremely important to me, so there is no such thing as a client or an issue being ‘unimportant,’ or a problem being too ‘minor’. The sessions are all about you...

Life can be complicated! Counselling can be a great way to explore anything you may be struggling with.

I am an experienced and registered MBACP counsellor, based in Exeter, working with adults, young people and children. I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, self-harm, bereavement and loss, and trauma. I offer a warm, safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to explore difficulties or problems from your past or present and look at how these maybe holding you back from living a more satisfying and fuller life. As a humanistic counsellor, I focus on building a respectful, caring and empathetic relationship with you and, through this, support you as you progress towards your goal.

I specialise in the field of unresolved grief, loss and trauma. I use EMDR to treat single or complex post traumatic stress including combat PTSD. I also have experience of supporting the emotional wellbeing of health professionals (or other professions at high risk of vicarious trauma or chronic pressures). Over the last twelve years as a humanistic integrative counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor in a busy NHS environment, I have also experienced a broad spectrum of clients' concerns and struggles.

As well as online video apps, I work in Exeter, Sidmouth and Taunton with adults, young people (7-18) and couples. Sometimes friends or family are unable to support you so an impartial professional can really help. Powerlessness, change, loneliness, grief and anxiety are just a few of the overwhelming feelings many are experiencing. There is no need to be alone in this. Call for a chat to see if, together, we can find a way forward.

I imagine you are here looking for support to make a change. Perhaps you have emotions that are spiralling out of control - maybe you are feeling angry without sufficient reason. Perhaps you feel anxious a lot of the time and find it exhausting. Or maybe you just feel terribly down and don't know what you can do about it. Life can really seem overwhelming at times - like with the breakdown of a relationship or the loss of someone you love. You know somewhere within you that it doesnt have to be so painful, so difficult. At times like these I think it can be an act of courage and wisdom to ask for help.

I have a long experience of working with people with a wide range of mental health issues. I have worked as a nurse and support worker in mental health and as a counsellor for adults. I work from the principles of the Person Centred Approach which means that I am led by what my client brings to the counselling session and uphold the belief that every individual has an innate drive to grow towards being more truly themselves, to being the best they can be. It is my job to listen without judgement, to be empathic (to strive to put myself "in your shoes"), and to be accepting of who you are in the widest sense.

I am a therapeutic life coach & mental health practitioner, and I am currently working independently in private practice. I am a specialist in the fields of anxiety, depression and emotional disturbance. I hold a degree in social sciences and an honours degree in both social work and psychology. I have worked with the full spectrum of clinical presentations, ranging from mild to severe across the age spectrum (adolescents to seniors). I have been working in the mental health field for over 15 years and have worked for many years in the National Health Service in several settings.

I am a Certified Transactional Analyst psychotherapist. Many of my clients are men and I specialise in working with men and issues that affect a man’s mental, emotional or psychological well being. My work is not exclusively with men I work with women too. I offer a safe, secure and non judgmental place in which you can be heard and be felt to be heard and seen. Whatever the issues are that you bring I am here to help you feel better in how you live your life. I place a great deal of importance on my therapeutic relationship with clients, for it is through this trusting relationship that healthy and lasting change occurs.

You may simply be looking to create a reflective space in your week to look and think differently about your current situation and life. Or maybe you want to work collaboratively in a focussed and goal-oriented way on improving wellbeing, strengthening your self-care strategies or understanding and managing stress and anxiety better. I consider myself to be kind, compassionate and gently challenging and aim to create an environment in which clients can move towards changing their lives for the better, learning new skills and gaining insight.

Many people seek a sense of peace in their lives. You may experience emotional issues causing distress or you wish to make important changes in your life. Perhaps you have a desire to develop greater balance and calm in your daily life. I work with individuals of all ages and ability as well as with couples and with families. I bring a non-judgemental, collaborative approach to help you nurture, grow, and prosper. For specific goals we find the right steps for you to achieve the success you want. My fees vary depending on the work so please inquire on contact.

I’m professional, warm, honest, gentle and compassionate, and I'll always keep you safe by ensuring that we work at a pace that you feel comfortable with. I'll tailor my approach to suit you, giving you the best opportunity to achieve the results you want. I'm based at Baring House, just a 10-minute walk from Exeter High Street and Central Station, with ample free parking, a comfortable waiting room, and toilets.

Roberta Hutchins has over 15 years’ experience in private practice as an integrated holistic healthcare practitioner in Devon. Roberta’s many years’ experience of working effectively with people with diverse health problems in a variety of ways have provided a strong foundation for her Human Givens Psychotherapy practice. People suffering from anxiety, depression, and many health problems related to stress, have formed the backbone of her practice. It is often the case that resolving life difficulties, getting needs met and focusing on psychological wellbeing are the keys to getting back on track with life and feeling well again.

I have a lot of life experience and understanding of the importance of life and the struggles we all face, through my own trials and professional workings. ​ ​I am an Integrative Counsellor, which means I'm able to draw on a variety of methods and techniques to best assist you maintaining very relaxed, patient led sessions giving you the opportunity to grow and develop as best you can, helping you to help yourself. I work in a variety of ways to help you feel comfortable and open up in a safe space. My approach is based on working in the here and now looking at whats going on for you whilst also paying attention to unfinished cycles

Have you ever sat and poured your heart out to a friend, and they’re on your side, telling you what you should do, but it doesn’t help? Or you go away feeling better but it only lasts until you get home, and then you feel just as lost and alone with the problem as before? If you are in crisis, overwhelmed by your feelings, struggling to cope with life unheard and unseen, or trying to manage a major life event but finding that you’re stuck unable to move forward, then counselling is the right next step for you. Counselling can hold you in a crisis and help you to heal, but it has a lot more to offer than crisis management.

I am aware of the challenges of growing and adapting to change beyond childhood and throughout adulthood. All of us need to find resilience at times of stress, or just to deal with day to day issues that may seem small but lead to an accumulation of anxiety or despair that impact on the quality of our lives. This might be bereavement or loss; affecting us in different ways with no simple, correct way to respond. Loss can relate to health, circumstance, social or work pressure or just growing older. I offer a way to share issues and find solutions beyond family and friendship groups, within the therapeutic relationship.

Although I have experience in many areas, I feel it is important to treat each person as an individual, working with them, their thoughts and feelings, rather than the “problem”. People come to counselling because they want to understand, change, to feel better and having someone work with them can help so much in doing this. Looking at the difficult parts of our lives can be challenging but I believe everyone has the right to be happy. One of the ways to change and feel happier is through the awareness of what has happened to us and the effect it has had.

I am a deeply compassionate, understanding and professional Counsellor, working with any adult aged 18 and over in central Exeter. I can help you to explore and work through the difficulties you are experiencing. I work with you on a deep level to help you gain an understanding of what you have been through and begin to value and believe in yourself. I draw from a range of experience and techniques to help you to work through and overcome your struggles. We will work together to find coping strategies and solutions to enable you to make positive changes to your life, enabling you to lead a happier and more fulfilled life.
