About me
I'm Alex, a registered and qualified adult and young people's in person counsellor, in Exeter. If you think we might be the right fit, contact me for a free introductory phone call.
In my experience as a counsellor at Exeter College and working with adults, I have helped clients explore challenges such as anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, depression, self-esteem, neuro-diversity/-curiosity...& more. I see the difference when individuals are supported.
I'm specialist trained in counselling young people (aged 16-18) and work creatively to support both adults and teenagers.
I have experience in working with a wide range of emotional, personal and relational difficulties.*
If you'd like to work together, I'm here to support you along the way. I will meet you where you are and our work will be at a pace that feels comfortable.
*do get in touch with whatever questions you have. I believe each person and their experience is unique.
