About me
What do you offer?
Accessible, Affordable Counselling in Devon and Online:
I believe that everyone deserves access to skilled, compassionate support when they need it. In a time of long waiting lists and increasing financial pressures, my aim is to provide professional counselling that is both accessible and affordable.
I offer counselling in Devon and online, creating a warm, welcoming space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work, and I am passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges and move towards positive change.
Whatever you are facing, I will work alongside you to find the most effective way to support your needs, helping you to make sense of your experiences in a safe, relaxed, and non-judgemental environment.
I believe the most important aspect of working with clients is the relationship and trust that we build together. I understand how hard it can be to take the first steps in seeking help and how vulnerable it can make you feel sharing your story. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is what helps clients to feel safe, held and listened to in order for them to be able to address whatever has brought them into therapy. Therefore, I pride myself in being approachable, warm, empathetic and offer a relaxed and calm environment to allow you to feel comfortable and to be your true self.
Fees:
- Individual counselling: £35–£55 per session/ Relationship counselling: £50–£65 per session (the price you pay is dependent on individual circumstances).
- Counselling students: £35 per session
My sliding-scale fees are made possible by clients who choose to pay what they can afford. This allows me to offer lower-cost sessions to those who need them most and helps ensure that counselling remains accessible to as many people as possible.
** I also offer a free initial consultation of up to one hour, either in person or online, giving us the opportunity to explore what has brought you to counselling and whether I am the right fit for you.

Member organisations
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
