Sadie Edgecumbe

I strongly believe in creating a space where you feel as safe and comfortable as possible. No issue is too big, or too small. There is never any judgement in the room, and I will be guided by you to understand what you need and want from our sessions. Sometimes, that's just a space to be able to share your feelings and be seen and heard, which can be very powerful in itself. Other times, you may wish for more guidance along the way.

We will work together to achieve whatever your goals may be. This has the potential to change throughout sessions, and we will regularly check in to ensure you are happy with where we are and see if we need to make any changes to the way we’re working together.

My main philosophy in life, and a belief that I hold very close is that people are good, and that often we don't know or realise the depth of impact from various life experiences. Within my sessions, I offer opportunities to explore this and understand the factors that may be in play with how different parts of you, your personality, or your behaviours may have developed. I will always hear your experiences from a non-judgemental and empathetic position and from there, we will work to find out what you most need. 

I began my counselling career after having struggles with my own mental health and seeking out counselling. It had such a profound impact on me and my life that I decided I really wanted to be able to offer people the same kind of space and help that I was offered when I most needed it.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. The main theories I believe in and use are Person Centred, Transactional Analysis and Inner Child.

I work within the BACP ethical framework, have regular supervision and am fully insured. I am continually working to update my skills and understanding.

If you are struggling in any way, or just wanting to talk, connect or enhance your understanding of yourself, please don’t hesitate to get in contact.

I offer a free 20 minute chat on the phone or online which will allow you to decide whether you feel I will be well suited to support.

I can offer sessions in Exeter, Exmouth, and via an online platform.
