About Therapy

People come to counselling and psychotherapy for many different reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, loneliness, loss, overwhelm or feeling emotionally stuck. Sometimes there isn't an obvious problem at all, but a sense that something in life or in your relationships isn't working in the way you would like it to.

My approach is relational, which means that alongside exploring what has brought you to therapy, we can pay attention to patterns in how you experience yourself and other people. Some of these ways of coping or relating may have developed much earlier in life and made sense at the time, but can become restrictive or painful later on.

I don't work from the assumption that there is a single right way to do therapy. Depending on what you bring, our work might involve thinking about relationships, difficult emotions, past experiences, anxiety, identity or questions around meaning and change. The relationship we develop also becomes part of that process, giving us an opportunity to understand some of these experiences together.

I see clients in a quiet, private room in central Exeter, as well as online.
