Counselling in Exeter

In my experience we may all at times face hurdles too daunting to negotiate alone. I work with a wide range of issues focussing on clients who have suffered sexual abuse, as well as young people and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, depression and low self esteem. We may have issues and patterns of behaviour from the past that we are ready to leave behind. I offer a safe, confidential therapeutic space to be heard and feel safe. In some cases I work in the here and now, in others I believe in order to understand and find our inner resources to change present behaviour we need to delve into our past.

As a holistic and positive coaching psychologist I employ an integrated, mindful, heart-centred, person-centred and therapeutic approach rooted in positive psychology, cognitive behavioural coaching, somatic practice and inner child work. Leveraging knowledge in behaviour and coaching to help you understand and cultivate emotional and self-regulation, motivation, spiritual growth, self-compassion and healing. I utilising coaching frameworks and strengths to create a personal self-development plan, helping you rebuild your sense of self and find what you need within yourself to move in a direction that feels right for you.

Hi - are you feeling stuck? Repeating the same patterns of behaviour again and again in your life or relationship and going around in circles? Do you feel a lack of love/respect with your partner or someone close to you? Is sex/intimacy an issue but you’re not quite sure how to approach it? Perhaps trauma, life changes, neurodiversity (adhd/asc) or difficult times have led to anxiety/depression, the trust has gone, or you're feeling sad, angry, lonely, stressed, numb, or just not sure what you feel anymore? I provide a safe, non-judgmental space helping people to improve on their personal wellbeing and relationships.

I work gently and compassionately, with individuals/couples, struggling with difficult or painful feelings, managing their emotions, and struggling to enjoy life. Communication is often an issue, as are feelings of unfairness or difficulty forming good, lasting relationships. Issues may involve partners, parents, past traumas, or inner conflict making decisions difficult. They may involve issues at work with colleagues, management or relationships. When working with couples the issues are often about unfulfilled expectations, infidelity, lack of commitment/affection, insecurity, lack of empathy, or experiences of coercion or control
