I am an experienced psychotherapist in private practise, as well as teaching faculty on foundation and advanced counselling courses in Exeter, UK.
I firmly believe that we are fundamentally relational beings, ones that need security, understanding & care above all else. Real change comes not from trying to fix thinking patterns, self-concepts or the past, but in shifting relational dynamics in the here and now and finding new ways of being with another. This is what I focus on in therapy with my clients,
I have 7 years of experience as a psychotherapist, and I draw on my background and experience in modern relational psychoanalysis, developmental theory, and in depth study of phenomenology & existential philosophy to guide it. IN and through this, I've learned that deep, sustained change is not only possible, it can and will happen in the right therapy.
By focusing on the roots from the get-go, I will give it the best chance, whatever the starting point. There is no time like the present, as they say, so please reach out and call or email and I will get back to you promptly.
