Trauma-informed counselling in Exeter & East Devon

Hello, and a warm welcome

I offer an anti-oppressive, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where all identities, backgrounds, and experiences are valued. Moreover, reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone.

Here, you are invited to bring your whole self (your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and hopes) and be met with care, empathy, and respect. In other words, this is a place where you can move at your own pace.

I believe you already carry the wisdom and resilience you need, and our work together can help bring that forward.

How I work with you

I see therapy as a collaborative journey, guided by openness, curiosity, and your unique needs. Together, we can explore how your inner and outer worlds shape who you are, gently uncovering strengths and tender places.

As a result, new possibilities for healing and growth often emerge. While counselling can sometimes feel challenging, it can also bring clarity, resilience, and even moments of lightness and humour.

People I frequently support

I welcome everyone aged 14+. Additionally, I have particular experience supporting people affected by sexual abuse, adult survivors of CSA, domestic abuse recovery, trauma, anxiety, chronic illness and pain, baby loss, and grief. Whatever your story, I hold a steady belief in your capacity for growth.

My approach

My approach is integrative counselling, drawing on Person-Centred counselling, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Transactional Analysis (TA), somatic awareness, and creative interventions.

As a qualified counsellor in Exeter and East Devon, I work from a trauma-informed perspective, always respecting your pace, your safety, and your unique journey.

Furthermore, my own life experiences help me bring depth of empathy and compassion to create a safe and trusting environment.
