About me
I offer one-to-one counselling for adults carrying grief, overwhelm, burnout and change. You may be feeling anxious, low, lost, or emotionally overloaded, and unsure how to keep managing on your own. I provide a warm, supportive space where you can explore what is going on for you at your own pace.
I am an integrative humanistic counsellor, which means I draw on a range of approaches to meet your individual needs. At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship, creating a space where you can feel safe, heard and understood.
I have a particular interest in supporting people with grief and loss, overwhelm, burnout, workplace pressure and life transitions. My work is also trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, offering space for greater self-understanding and acceptance.
My approach is compassionate, reflective, thoughtful and non-judgemental. Together, we can explore your experiences, make sense of what has brought you to counselling, and support you in moving towards greater clarity and self-understanding.

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.

Further information
I offer face to face, online and walk and talk counselling. These approaches can be combined to suit your preferences. I offer weekly and fortnightly sessions depending on your needs and we can discuss what approach may work for you.
I work in Exeter and Exmouth and online nationally and am happy to discuss a combination of these locations depending on your circumstances. I believe counselling has to consider your requirements to work most effectively.
