Email meAbout me
I offer Counselling, Psychotherapy and Psychological Assessment. I have worked in the field for twenty five years. I see clients in both Tiverton and Exeter. I work with Children, Adults and Families. I am also an Adoption Support Agency registered with Ofsted as Outstanding working with Adoptive Children and Families. I am an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and have Senior Accreditation with BACP. I work with the most frequent mental health difficulties such as depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety and panic. I have experience of working in the NHS with Eating Disorders. I specialise in Child Behaviour and helping parents with parenting. I have published two books on the subject. I also specialise in attachment relationships. I adopt a Rogerian model of counselling combined with mindulfness and compassion related models of psychotherapy. I am qualified in using EMDR for trauma related difficulties and CBT if clients prefer this model. I also offer Supervision.
