Counselling and psychotherapy is a unique experience. A safe, confidential space, removed from ordinary life, that is all about you, the client. Having an opportunity to be seen and heard in this way can be extremely helpful.

Research consistently shows that therapy can be successful and helpful. One of the biggest factors in the effectiveness of the process is the quality of the relationship between the client and counsellor. This is why it is crucial to find someone you connect with. Do you feel safe with them, listened to and cared for?

My Approach

I am an integrative therapist, meaning I have been trained in a broad range of therapies. In particular, I draw upon Gestalt Therapy and Person-Centred Therapy. I am influenced by Existentialism and informed by Attachment Theory and Neuroscience. This has then enabled me to develop my own philosophy of counselling; creating one cohesive approach, drawing on the richness of various modalities.

I have a three-phase framework that I use with all clients:

Connecting - creating the right conditions for the client to feel safe, developing trust and building a strong therapeutic relationship.

Exploring - together, examining all the parts that make up the whole of a person, including historical background and here-and-now experiences. Paying attention to reactions and being curious, with the aim of raising awareness.

Integrating - ongoing experimentation in the room and in the real world to test new approaches and develop skills. Moving to a place of acceptance and wholeness.

Fees and Sessions

I offer counselling and psychotherapy on a long-term, open-ended and shorter, fixed-term basis to individual adults.

Sessions are 50 minutes long and normally held weekly. 

My fee is £60 per session. I hold a fixed number of reduced-cost slots for those on low incomes. 

When: I work Monday to Friday between 8 am and 6 pm.

Where:  My therapy room is in central Exeter at 4 Barnfield Crescent. Plenty of local car parks are close by and the location is a short walk from the train and bus stations. 

I also offer online video sessions via Zoom.
