About me and my therapy practice
Identifying the thoughts, feelings and inner struggles that are holding you back can be daunting, but my role is to walk alongside you, enabling you to find clarity, calm, and good mental health.
Central to my counselling ethos is the importance of creating a safe, non-judgemental place, where you are free to be yourself, and to explore any aspect of life that is important to you.
As a neuroaffirming therapist with over three decades of experience working to support people with their mental health and self-development, you can be confident you are in safe hands.
My experience within domestic abuse, neurodiversity, education, and a private healthcare setting, has given me an understanding of a wide range of challenges, including: anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, low self-esteem, trauma, and family issues.
My role as a university lecturer, in a counselling and psychology department, compliments the work I do, helps me to develop as a reflective practitioner, and enables me to keep up-to-date with the latest theory and practice
Practice description
While many clients prefer the flexibility & convenience of online counselling, I am also able to offer in-person sessions, within a beautiful 19th century rectory, right in the heart of Mid Devon
