About me and my therapy practice
A warm welcome to my profile
I'm an experienced Counsellor having spent over 10 years in private practice . I see my clients in a private therapy room in the lovely Southernhay Quarter of Exeter . I can also offer Skype or Facetime appointments.
I support individuals at all stages of their lives from University students to seniors. My effective counselling approach can help with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationships, stress, low confidence and self esteem, bereavement, sadness , grief and loss.
I offer a safe, confidential, caring space for us to work together, a place for you to be listened to without judgement, explore ways to bring about positive change and a better balance to your life.
As well as the issues listed I’ve gained a lot of experience of working with and supporting University students at all stages of their studies. I also have a special interest in Womens' health and wellbeing and diversity.
Choosing the right counsellor can seem a bit daunting, so I offer the option of a 30-minute informal consultation to help you decide if we’re a good fit.

About me and my therapy practice
Welcome to my profile
Having been in private practice in Edinburgh for over 10 years I'm now based in Exeter where I'm working face to face and online with counselling and supervision clients.
I work with both qualified and student counsellors and am the Iron Mill College list for approved counsellors and supervisors.
My initial training was person centred but I'm experienced at and interested in working with supervisees from other modalities and would describe my practice as integrative.
I've got a professional background in mentoring and coaching and really enjoy supporting student counsellors during their training and beyond. in my previous practice in Edinburgh I worked with students from Caledonian and Edinburgh Universities and those studying with private providers.
I'm an experienced counsellor with a Post Grad Diploma in Counselling from the University of Strathclyde, a Certificate in Stress Management (OCR) and Certificate in Creative Supervision (UKCP)
I've been in private practice since 2008 and supervising counsellors since 2014
I offer a free initial 30-minute meeting, after which the fee for qualified counsellors is £55 per 1-hour session. I offer a discounted fee of £40 for student counsellors and for those in the first year of setting up in private practice.
I currently have space for additional supervisees ( January 2019)
