Experienced Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Supervisor in Devon and online

There are times in life when things begin to feel unsettled.

You may be struggling with anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, loneliness, loss, uncertainty, or a growing sense that the life you are living no longer quite fits. Sometimes there is a clear crisis. Sometimes there is simply a quieter feeling that something is wrong, missing, or emotionally exhausting.

People often come to counselling carrying far more than they show outwardly. They may feel overwhelmed by change, burdened by responsibility, emotionally stuck, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward. Others come because they are trying to make sense of experiences that have shaken long-held beliefs about themselves, relationships, family, work, faith, or the future.

I offer a thoughtful, compassionate, and non-judgemental space in which we can begin to explore these difficulties together.

My approach is relational and reflective rather than prescriptive. I do not believe there is a single “right way” to live, nor that human difficulties can always be reduced to quick techniques or easy answers. Counselling can, however, provide a space where difficult feelings become more understandable, where patterns begin to make sense, and where change gradually becomes possible.

Alongside general counselling work, I have particular experience in areas including:

• bereavement and complicated grief
• major life transitions and change
• caring responsibilities and ageing parents
• relationship difficulties
• anxiety and emotional overwhelm
• questions of identity, meaning, and belonging
• religious backgrounds, loss of faith, and spiritual uncertainty
• workplace stress and professional pressures
• supervision and reflective practice for therapists and helping professionals

I have many years’ experience working therapeutically with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences. I also work as a clinical supervisor and have a longstanding interest in ethics, relationships, power, and emotional life.

Beginning counselling can feel like a significant step. My hope is to offer a space where you can speak openly, think freely, and feel accompanied rather than judged.
