"The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself"

Even the strongest among us can feel lost, unsure, ambivalent, or unhappy at times. As a professional Counsellor based in Exeter, I can help you understand and manage whatever life throws at you. I believe that you have the strength not just to survive, but to truly thrive.

Counselling is a great way of exploring what is happening in your life and understanding all the how, why, what, where and when of your life or your present circumstance. It allows you to take stock and to look at issues perhaps in a different light.

ABOUT ME

My career started out after undertaking Counselling myself and seeing the huge benefit it can have.

I have a lot of life experience and understanding of the importance of life and the struggles we all face, through my own trials and professional workings.

I am an Exeter based Integrative Counsellor, which means I am able to draw on a variety of methods and techniques to best assist you maintaining very relaxed, patient led sessions giving you the opportunity to grow and develop as best you can, helping you to help yourself. I work creatively in a variety of ways to help you feel comfortable and open up in a safe space. My approach is based on working in the here and now looking at whats going on for you whilst also paying attention to attachment and unfinished cycles in the past. I intertwine this by using creative ways of working which I find to help deepen the sessions.

I offer both long and short term counselling dependant on your needs.
