The ‘Space Between’ is the unique connection that forms when a client and therapist come together. This space is shaped by the qualities of both individuals and is crucial to the success of therapy. It reflects the client’s specific needs and the shared dynamic, and it requires the right conditions to be cultivated. Once this space is established, it becomes the foundation where meaningful work and growth take place.
Counselling and psychotherapy offer a unique experience—a safe, confidential environment entirely focused on you, the client, and removed from the distractions of everyday life. Being truly seen and heard in this way can be profoundly healing.
Research consistently highlights the effectiveness of talking therapy, with one of the most significant factors being the quality of the relationship between client and therapist. This is why finding someone you genuinely connect with is essential.
I am an integrative therapist, drawing on a broad range of therapeutic approaches. My work is informed by Internal Family Systems, Existentialism and Person-Centred Therapy, and is grounded in neuroscience. This diverse training has allowed me to develop a cohesive approach to counselling that weaves together the strengths of multiple modalities.
My therapeutic process follows a three-phase framework that I tailor to each client:
Connecting: Establishing a safe and supportive environment, where trust and a strong therapeutic relationship can flourish.
Exploring: Together, we examine the different parts that make up the whole person, including past experiences and present-moment reactions. This phase is about cultivating curiosity and expanding self-awareness.
Integrating: We experiment both in the therapy room and in real-life situations to test new strategies and build skills. The goal is to move towards greater acceptance and a sense of wholeness.
This structured yet flexible approach allows us to journey through the complexities of the human experience with compassion and clarity.
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.
