You might be thinking about counselling because….

Maybe there is something you’d really like to talk about, but you don’t feel able to share it with family or friends.

Perhaps you’re struggling to make sense of how you’re feeling, or finding that life feels harder to manage than it used to.

You’re neurodivergent, or wondering if you might be, and would like some help understanding yourself and finding ways to manage the things that feel difficult.

Or perhaps you simply want somewhere you can talk openly, without judgement, and feel properly heard and listened to.

Whatever has brought you here, having some dedicated time and space to talk about how you feel is never a waste of time.

​

So, how can counselling help?

​

Counselling gives you the opportunity to slow things down, talk things through and begin to understand what’s really going on for you.

It can help you work through past or present trauma and, in doing so, reduce some of the stress and anxiety you may be carrying.

It can also help you develop a greater sense of acceptance around who you are, how you feel and what you’ve been through. Sometimes, that acceptance is where things start to feel a little lighter.

​

And you don’t need to be in crisis to come to counselling. In fact, you might choose to come because you don’t want things to reach crisis point. Talking things through early can help prevent problems from building up and becoming overwhelming.

Counselling isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about having someone alongside you while you work things out.

Over time, you can develop practical coping strategies and a better understanding of yourself, helping life, and the challenges that come with it, feel more manageable.

​

What happens next?

​

We’ll begin with a free 20-minute telephone chat.

This is simply an opportunity for us to talk about what you’re looking for and for you to get a feel for whether I’m the right person to support you. Finding the right counsellor matters, so there’s no pressure or obligation to continue.

​

If we decide to work together, we can talk about how many sessions might be helpful. 

After each session, I’ll check in with you about how you’re finding things and whether you’d like to continue.

​

Sessions last one hour and can take place in my counselling room in Exeter, Devon, or online if that feels more comfortable for you.

My counselling room is calm, cosy and has some very comfortable chairs!

If you choose online or telephone counselling, you’ll just need a good internet connection for online sessions and somewhere private where you can talk confidentially.
