My brief bio is that I’m a fully qualified therapist with over 20 years of experience in private practice. I’ve worked in an NHS mental health team and for a Charity supporting young people.  I offer sessions online in various time frames and lengths to suit you; daytime, evenings, and weekends. I train counsellors in online and phone therapy following  BACP’s Core 2 competency framework.  I offer creative therapy, acknowledging that not everyone always has the words to express what they feel, what has happened to them, or perhaps has edge-of-awareness thoughts that creativity allows taps in to.

A qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with 18+ years of experience working with individuals, couples, and young people, I work both short and long-term, offering a warm, collaborative, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. My practice is a trauma-aware, relational approach, recognising the impact that life experiences and relationships have on emotional wellbeing. EMDR can be integrated into therapy where appropriate to support your processing of trauma, distressing experiences, and emotional difficulties. I provide a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship, listening carefully and working alongside you to help you develop greater understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.

I offer a warm compassionate counselling and have a wealth of experience with a wide range of what people can bring. I'm a degree qualified Integrative counsellor working towards a masters in Systemic Family Psychotherapy, having already qualified as a Systemic Practitioner.
I can work in person, online - or a blend.
I am experienced working with diverse neurotypes, people of the global majority and LGBTQI+ folk. I support people through the challenges presented in all life stages from aged 12 upwards, through young adults, mid-life and beyond.
Do also ask about ecotherapy in or out of the counselling space.

I’m a BACP/NCPS-registered therapist/supervisor in Exeter with 30+ years experience in psychology, transitioning from academia and social services to counselling. I’ve learned that clients can recover from their problems when experiencing empathy, acceptance and allowing a safe space to process and explore. I believe that the relationship between client and counsellor is paramount to building trust and support. When this connection is established, it’s the first important step to positive change. I meet clients at all stages of recovery, offering time-limited or long-term therapy. Clients describe me as warm, compassionate, down-to-earth and non- judgmental. I work both face-to-face and online.

I work as an Integrative counsellor with a particular interest in how the body holds and stores emotions. I work in-person and online. I am interested in the human mind and the interrelatedness of thoughts and feelings. I completed a degree in psychology and bring that experience to work therapeutically. My work is focused towards creating empowerment and choice with a strong emphasis on compassion towards the self. I work with anxiety, depression, burnout, women's health, trauma, relationship issues, and neurodiversity. I am gentle and compassionate and ensure to take care of all parts of you – past and present.

BACP registered, I am trained in a number of therapeutic approaches. This allows me to tailor the therapy I offer to suit you and can include creative methods to help with the expression and processing of experiences. I’ve worked with a wide range of people navigating challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, bereavement, ADHD, and OCD. I value seeing the world through different perspectives and provide both an inclusive and neurodiverse-affirming space. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and understanding – your experiences are unique, and I work collaboratively with you to explore what feels right for you.
