Hello, my name is Jenny. I am a qualified counsellor. I work from my private practice in Dawlish. My approach is predominantly Person Centred where I will provide a warm welcoming environment. I will listen without making any assumptions or judgement. My role is not to come up with the answers for you, but to support and walk along side you on your journey of change. I will help you find your own strategies, tools and coping skills to enable you to achieve positive growth and self-discovery.

You may be coping with anxiety, depression, bereavement or feeling, unhappy with yourself or others. Whatever the reason, I offer Counselling and Psychotherapy, to help you work towards feeling better about yourself, your life and moving forward with hope. Compassion is one of my key values. I am empathic with people and their situations. This is incorporated into the way I live my life and connect with people. I am passionate about easing human suffering through psychotherapy and coaching to help people be more fulfilled and achieve their potential.

I am a fully qualified Counsellor and Supervisor and a registered member of the BACP. I offer professional, confidential counselling within a safe and relaxed environment, using an empathic, non judgemental approach, offering flexible appt times during daytimes, evenings and weekends. I am respectful and understanding and believe that the relationship between counsellor and client is central to the work. Counselling can be short term or longer term, dependent on your own requirements. As well as one to one counselling for adults, I have experience in couples counselling, enhancing their communication and listening skills.

If you have something in your life that you want to change, something stopping you from living the life that you want. Please make contact so that we can explore how we might work together. I use a range of therapies in my work for stress, anxiety, feeling stuck and emotional and physical pain.

A very warm welcome to Lucy Perkins Counselling. I work primarily with the Person Centred approach, for a wide spectrum of issues. Our sessions are entirely led by you, we go your pace and I will hold the utmost respect for your autonomy at all times. My approach is non-directive, relaxed and supportive. Our sessions take place in a private, tranquil and comfortable space in central Exeter or Dawlish. We can be flexible about when we meet and we may get together weekly or fortnightly. I offer 1 hour and 1.5 hour sessions.

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.

Hi, my name is Barbara and I live in East Devon with my family. I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor. Now offering face to face sessions please contact me for more information.

I have worked as a Gestalt therapist since qualifying 1999 working in private practice, primary health care, two mental health charities and at University of West of England. I now work in private practice in Exeter and Bath. I work with male and female clients individually, couples and groups. I work with issues from anxiety, relationship difficulties and personality disorders. Gestalt is a holistic therapy that looks closely at contact between people, the self and environment and the process that is involved in the contact and what interrupts the contact. Please get in touch to make an initial appointment.

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 offer you a space filled with warmth and empathy where together, we will explore the feelings, thoughts, and relational patterns that have been causing you distress. I will support you to gain a deeper understanding of how to manage the impacts of your history, your environment, and your daily life. My counselling style is more about encouraging self-acceptance as a good enough person than searching for perfection. It’s about finding self-compassion and quieting the inner critic. I support people who want to find more acceptance in who they are, but feel blocked by self-criticism, fear, sadness, anxiety, overwhelm, or doubt.

The therapeutic space that client and therapist build together is an open space where thoughts, feelings and behaviours can be looked at in an accepting and allowing, as well as real and honest way. Doing so can help with issues such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, anger, relationship problems as well as less easily identifiable feelings such as existential insecurity or a general sense of meaninglessness. It can be difficult to talk to those close to you as they often, understandably, struggle to remain impartial.

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.

I work with anxiety, depression, bereavement, stress, anger, etc, plus relationship problems and sexual/gender diversity. I work with individuals, couples, and people in polyamorous relationships. I offer my clients the opportunity to explore their issues in a safe, non-judgmental environment, to help them achieve their goals. I do face to face work, and online counselling, and offer both short term and long term therapy. I work privately and also take referrals from EAPs.

Reaching out can be hard. Are you feeling overwhelmed? struggling to cope with your situation? your emotions? your experiences? If your trust has been damaged, talking to someone who will take time to understand you can be a huge relief. Perhaps you need support through a crisis or you are at the end of your tether with multiple stresses. Even if you have longterm issues that seem stuck, talking to someone can make a difference. You may gain insight into the roots of your difficulties and find qualities in yourself that have never had a chance to develop. The aim is to help you live a more rewarding life.

I am an experienced counsellor, trainer and group facilitator. I work with people experiencing a range of difficulties using an integrative approach which means we work together so you can find your own ways to cope with the things that are getting you down or have kept you stuck or feeling overwhelmed. I integrate talking therapy with other useful approaches and techniques including drawing, visual imagery, using objects in a sand tray, mindfulness exercises, assertiveness skills and self-care tools.

Maybe the reason you are here today is because you are experiencing feelings that you would rather not continue to carry alone. My practice is called ‘Accanto’ and I have built my service around this name, which translated means ‘next to or beside,’ and quite simply that is exactly where I will be for you. I do have an A-Z of what I cover but actually this is about YOU feeling that you can bring anything you need into the safe and accepting space that I offer. Counselling is initially about feeling better about yourself, learning to love your real self so that you can then invite love and acceptance from others. I NOW WORK ONLINE

If you struggle with being in the world, with accepting yourself, or with a particular historical issue, I am here to witness, and support you on your journey of recovery. I am especially interested in gender work, and particularly welcome men, who are keen to explore masculinity, as well as women, who wish to explore their relationship with men. Healthier relationship with ourselves, and others, is an achievable goal, and relies on empathy, compassion, love, challenge - noticing, and encouraging work on what is noticed. I understand difficulty, having experienced mental health issues in my past, following an unsettled childhood.

Are you experiencing a prolonged, overwhelming sense of helplessness, depression and stress, resulting in you struggling to concentrate, make decisions and complete everyday tasks? Is your confidence, motivation and self-esteem at an all-time low and you feel you've lost your sense of identity? Is your pain from the past or your anxiety about your future numbing your enjoyment of your present? My online counselling offers you a confidential, empathic and non-judgemental space to feel heard, understood and emotionally supported helping you to make sense of any destructive or self-defeating patterns which may be holding you back.

I am a BACP registered therapeutic counsellor, coach and supervisor working with adolescents, adults and couples in Exeter and beyond. I am also a multi award winning drug & alcohol practitioner, bereavement specialist and have an advanced certificate in couples counselling. I offer a non judgemental, safe space where nothing is taboo and any change is possible. Counselling doesn't have to be a process of focusing on the past to move forward and it may be that you'd like to start from where you are and enhance the (often invisible to self) gifts and strengths that have helped you get to where you are, in spite of everything.

Feeling anxious about COVID-19? Maybe struggling to make sense of what life seems to have thrown your way and want to change? Perhaps you’re feeling stuck, anxious as if the world is about to come crashing down around your ears? Struggling with work worries & beginning to affect home life too? Or could it be you’re having difficulty with relationships, causing a lack of confidence and self esteem? Maybe grieving the loss of someone or even something dear to you? Suffered childhood trauma or abuse? These are just some of the issues I could help with. So whatever it is, do get in touch – Remember a trouble shared is a trouble halved!
