Profile

I'm a qualified humanistic counsellor and psychotherapists, making use of a wide variety of psychotherapeutic disciplines. I am member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).

I offer skilled, professional support in a safe, confidential environment. Our sessions go beyond every day conversation to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

Life can be difficult at times. Sometimes we know exactly what our challenges are. Other times, the root of problem is not so clear. You may experience recurring relationship problems, behave in ways that don't support your life or your relationships with others. You may struggle with addictions, compulsive behaviours, inappropriately express strong emotions, or experience perplexing feelings of stress or depression. Therapy can help with both specific problems that are solution focused and more complex, deep-seeded issues when the way forward is not so clear.

It is my belief and experience that the therapeutic process can bring about lasting change and a deeper sense of self that can enable you to create a richer, more meaningful and satisfying life.

How I work

I work from the centre of Exeter. We will sit face to face. My manner is relaxed, warm, and engaging. I am also challenging when appropriate.

I work both short and long term, depending on your need. I am client led, which means I work with you, at a pace and in the direction that best supports your. We will regularly review how our sessions are going and how we are working together.

I also bring to my work, life experience, extensive therapeutic training and a passion for what I do. I abide by the Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling & Psychotherapy and confidentiality is fundamental to my practise. I have regular supervision that supports and monitors my work with clients.
