About me

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help you to make lasting changes to your relationships and emotional well-being. Some aspects of the mind are unconscious and come from patterns established in our early life of which we are unaware. They nevertheless exert a powerful influence on what we think, feel and do, even if it is against our best interests. 

I provide psychoanalytic psychotherapy for individual adults in Exeter. This will address the roots of your difficulties, not just the symptoms. It can help with sudden challenges in life such as loss, bereavement and stress, as well as chronic conditions like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship problems. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I have undertaken four years of high level professional training with institutes, universities and foundations. This enables me to listen carefully to what you say about your experiences, hopes, thoughts, feelings and dreams in order to help you know and understand yourself better.

Gaining this insight will enable you to think and behave in new ways and make better decisions. You are likely to feel stronger and less susceptible to relationship problems and the difficulties which life brings, as well as reductions to long-standing conditions such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and unhelpful ways of thinking.

I have over four years' experience treating a range of psychological difficulties in the NHS as well as in Colleges.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
