About us
My name is Pippa. I'm a compassionate integrative therapist working with adults 18+, online as well as in person (Exeter).
Perhaps you overthink everything, lose yourself in relationships, or feel as though you’re never quite enough - or that you’re too much.
Together we’ll explore where these patterns began, helping you understand yourself with compassion rather than self-criticism.
I invite you to explore inner child, attachment and nervous system approaches in our sessions. A balance of talking and somatic therapy can work powerfully together to help shift stored emotions and process any trauma.
I'm also a Polyvagal-informed therapist, an empowering perspective to help you understand and manage your responses to stressful situations.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm a qualified integrative therapist with an Advanced Diploma in Counselling. I trained at Heartwood College of Counselling and Psychotherapy, based at beautiful Dartington in Devon, a course accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
My training allows me to support adults 18+ with a range of issues including anxiety, difficulties in relationships and friendships, family issues, low self esteem, attachment issues stemming from childhood, and many others.
I'm lucky to be working with a diverse client base across all genders and ages from 18 upwards. My clients bring a range of issues ranging from untangling issues from childhood to putting others’ needs first, anxiety, self-abandonment, attachment issues and navigating challenging or abusive relationships.
I have a private practice in the centre of Exeter alongside agency and also work for a charity offering affordable therapy for adults 18+.
I have a BA Hons degree in English Literature from the University of Sheffield and a background working in publishing and higher education.

Further information
I integrate elements of attachment theory, inner child work, neuroscience, CBT and Gestalt into therapy sessions. I'm a passionate advocate of Polyvagal theory. My clients tell me it empowers to understand their nervous system's responses to triggering situations, helping to alleviate shame and distress and find a forwards with a fresh perspective.
I decided to train as a therapist following my own personal experiences of overcoming adversity. From my experience, I offer my clients compassion, support and someone to champion them. As an integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of skills and theories which I feel will most support you to be the person you were always meant to be.
