Caro Southcombe

I work in-person in Exeter and Dorchester, and online across the UK.

I’m an experienced, compassionate, fully qualified, BACP-registered counsellor who works with a wide range of people, with particular experience in trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety and neurodivergence.

I offer warm, compassionate therapy in Exeter, Dorchester and online. Therapy with me isn’t about being analysed from a distance. It’s an honest, thoughtful conversation where you can talk about what’s really happening, including the uncomfortable and difficult parts. You don’t need to know where to start. Together, we can make sense of what feels overwhelming and help life feel clearer and more manageable.

I work compassionately with trauma and have particular experience supporting neurodivergent adults, including those diagnosed with ADHD or autism later in life. I often work with women navigating menopause, sometimes alongside neurodivergence. Together, we can gently explore how the past may be shaping the present, and what might help life feel steadier.

I work in person in Exeter and Dorchester.

It is not uncommon to feel hesitant or unsure about seeking help. If you are considering therapy and would like to explore whether we could work together, please feel to contact me to arrange a free 20-minute phone consultation. This is a chance for us to talk through what you are looking for in therapy, any questions you may have and whether I may be the right person to support you.

After our initial telephone chat, and before we meet for our first session, I will send you a brief agreement explaining how I work, including confidentiality, privacy, and cancellations. You will also be able to complete your contact details and raise anything you would like clarified before we begin. This is so you know what to expect and to see if you have anything you'd like to discuss further.

Our first session is a space to slow down and take stock. We will explore what has brought you to therapy now, any relevant background, and what you are hoping might feel different over time. I will explain how confidentiality operates, and you are free to ask me whatever you need in order to feel settled and informed.

Choosing a therapist is personal. It matters that you feel at ease and that something about the fit feels right. I offer a free phone call beforehand so you can get a sense of how I am in conversation and whether my way of working feels like a good match.
