Profile
I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an experienced therapist. I have worked in general counselling for the NHS, specialist addiction therapy and secure institutions.
This has included working with many issues including stress and anxiety, bereavement and loss, depression, post-natal depression and women's issues, redundancy and work related issues, relationship issues, trauma, eating disorders, obsessive thinking and behaviour, sexual identity, sexual problems, abuse, spirituality and addictions.
My approach
At times, we all feel stressed, anxious or upset. Its a natural part of our emotional range. But sometimes we get stuck in these feelings, and for some reason they become a frequent and unwelcome part of our lives. At these times, talking to a qualified counsellor or psychotherapist can help uncover the hidden links and patterns that are unbalancing us, and find ways to restore our happier state.
I can offer a safe and non-judgemental environment in which to explore your feelings.
The way I work is very much focused on you, with an emphasis on how you feel. I will encourage you to explore your feelings and emotions about situations you are experiencing now and those you have experienced in the past. I will not offer answers or advice but I hope to enable you to find your own way. You are under no obligation to talk about anything you don't want to.
I have a room in central Exeter.
Please visit my website or contact me on 07756 060557, email: natalie@counselling-exeter.co.uk to arrange a no-obligation first session.
I understand it can be difficult to pick up the phone to make that first call to speak to a counsellor. Please be assured that I will take your call seriously and in absolute confidence. I hope to set you at your ease when you call.
