About me
Based in Exeter and Crediton, I offer warm and welcoming in-person or online counselling services for adults and children age 12+, with optional animal assisted therapy.
My former career as a military officer means that I bring a calm, clear-minded logic to counselling, which I combine with natural compassion, warmth and empathy. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, with so many different skills and approaches to choose from. But maybe what you're seeking is simply someone you can trust, who'll listen without judgment and provide genuine support. That's the heart of what I do.
I bring a calm, thoughtful and unpretentious approach to counselling; whether you've had counselling before or if you're unsure of what to expect, that's ok as I'll always go at your pace. My dog (Merlin) often joins sessions, subject to your approval, offering a level of comfort and grounding in the way only animals can. He enjoys his work as much as I do.
Perhaps you're currently serving, ex-forces or with Blue Light services and unsure about the whole counselling thing? I was unsure once and I still remember how daunting it can feel. With 17 years experience in the military, I can empathise with many of the challenges you've faced with a shared understanding of your experiences.
Optional Animal Assisted Therapy. Animals have a unique ability to connect with people and Merlin, my 8-year-old Labrador, can be a great asset in sessions, especially for individuals facing challenges they may find difficult to discuss. There's increasing evidence to support the positive effects animals can bring to assist in therapy.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked as a counsellor in a number of organisations prior to setting up in private practice, including:
- the University of Exeter Wellbeing Centre, providing short-term counselling sessions for students.
- The Safe Foundation Exeter, specialising in providing support for individuals who've experienced domestic abuse.
- Young Devon, counselling with children and young people age 12 and over.
My key qualifications are:
- Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling from Iron Mill College, Exeter.
- MSc Health Psychology (Merit)
- Certificate in Counselling
- Postgraduate Conversion Diploma in Psychology (equivalent to BSc (Hons) Psychology)
- Diploma in Animal Assisted Therapy (Distinction)
I am registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists BACP Reg no 411862).
Pets As Therapy. Merlin, my 8 year old labrador, is a registered Pets As Therapy (PAT) dog, which means he has been assessed as having a suitable temperament to work as a visitor to schools, care homes and hospitals etc. as part of the PAT charity. As such, he makes an ideal assistant to me in therapy sessions and is covered by my professional insurance.
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.
