Why have Counselling?
​​
Perhaps you want to talk but feel unable to share with family or friends.
​
Maybe you want to make sense of the feelings you are experiencing.
​
It could be that you are neurodiverse, or suspect you might be, and would like help managing your symptoms.
​
Ultimately perhaps you just want to feel truly heard and listened to and even learn life long coping skills that help you through difficult times.
​
Whatever your personal reasons for looking to have counselling, having space to talk about how you feel is never a waste of time.
​
​How will it help me?
It could help you to heal from past or present trauma and that can ease the stress and anxiety you feel.
​
You could start to find acceptance in who you are and how you feel and that is where peace can be found.
​
You don't have to be in crisis to seek counselling; why not prevent the crisis by talking things over and eventually that great sense of pressure you feel can be released.
​
Soon it becomes possible to feel better, live better and for problems to seem more manageable.
What happens next?
We have a initial free 20 minute chat on the telephone to see if we can work effectively together.
​
We can discuss how many sessions you feel you need. I recommend a series of 6 to begin with but this can be adapted to however many you require.
I also check in with you after each session to see if you want to continue.
​
Sessions last 1 hour and can take place in my counselling room in Exeter,Devon.
My room is calm and cosy with the squishiest chairs or I can also work online so you can be comfortable in your own space.
If you prefer to be online then please ensure you have good internet connection and a confidential space.
​
Fees are £65 for a 1 hour session.
