I offer weekly individual face-to-face sessions to adults and have experience of working with anxiety, bereavement, stress, relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions.
I'm Sinéad, a psychotherapist-in-training offering low-cost therapy in Exeter. Life can be uncertain and challenging, but you don’t have to face those times alone. I provide a supportive, compassionate, and non-judgmental space in which to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Having trained as a mindfulness teacher, I recognise the intimate connection between body and mind: a principle that sits at the heart of my work. In this, I understand the important role nature plays in our emotional and mental well-being and have a keen interest in ecopsychotherapy.

I have expansive experience in working with domestic abuse survivors, helping make sense of the chaos and trauma often associated with having been involved in an abusive relationship, whether this be with an intimate partner, parent, sibling or friend.
My name is Nikki, I am a qualified integrative counsellor registered with the NCS. I understand how difficult life can seem, and how stuck we can become. I am a compassionate, caring therapist who will not judge you. Whatever feelings or circumstances bring you to therapy, I offer you a calm, safe and non- judgmental space where I will encourage you to let go of unhelpful ways of being, that may be holding you back. As an integrative counsellor I will draw on different theoretical approaches choosing techniques to suit your individual needs.

Building a trusting and respectful relationship is of the utmost importance to me and I greatly value the work I do with my clients.
I am an experienced Integrated Counsellor and Cognitive Development Coach and I work with Young People and Adults with a variety of challenges in-person and online. The work we do together is about exploring what is causing suffering and identifying thought patterns and behaviours that keep you feeling small. My hope for you is that you come away from our work together feeling empowered and believing in your own worth, developing autonomy and determining your own destiny, throwing off habits and patterns which stop you from living in the here and now and recognising all that you are capable of.

The relationship of trust between a client and counsellor is central to the therapeutic process, therefore I offer all prospective clients the opportunity to meet for an initial (free) twenty-minute consultation.
Identifying the thoughts, feelings and inner struggles that are holding you back can be daunting, but my role is to walk alongside you, enabling you to find clarity, calm, and good mental health. Central to my counselling ethos is the importance of creating a safe, non-judgemental place, where you are free to be yourself, and to explore any aspect of life that is important to you.

Making sense of what is going on in your life is where counselling can help you and where a professional therapeutic relationship offering you an empathic and non-judgmental safe space to talk helps you to understand your feelings, heal and realize your potential.
It was Mr Miyagi in the movie “The Karate Kid” who said, “You know, but you do not understand.” We are often aware of the feelings and thoughts we are having, the behaviours they are causing and the distress that can generate. We can even know the traumas that have happened that we can attribute them to. But we can’t understand or articulate them enough to change them and heal. Perhaps this is the way you feel? Maybe you have been struggling with anxiety, depression or both for some time and everyday life is more challenging than you want it to be? Maybe you’ve experienced a traumatic event that you can’t seem to get over?

My work deals universally with the reduction of suffering, your suffering. Specifically this may include Depression, Anxiety, Low Mood, Loss of purpose, Grief, Relationship issues, managing change and family problems. Often we can be lost in our thinking and we can swing, like a pendulum, between worries of the past and anxieties of the future, never really pausing to be present now. This is normal, we all have these times. However sometimes, some of us get stuck in these places and need some guidance to bring us into balance and offer us support,at difficult times in our lives.

Hello :) I am qualified as a Clinical Psychologist. I have worked in mental health for over 10 years, with many individuals facing different challenges and life events (including low mood, worry, loss, phobias, psychosis and traumas). I believe therapy can offer a space to make sense of your experiences and the ways in which you respond, reconnect with your resources, values and hopes, move past painful memories and reflect on your strengths. I am committed to working collaboratively in a respectful, non judgemental way. My approach emphasises the relationship between distress and the world we live in.

For couples I help by developing healthy communication, having a safe space to process and discuss difficulties within the relationship.
I mostly work with clients who have been adversely affected by abuse, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I have extended this to work with couples and relationships. I work by tuning into each client’s individual circumstances and listen to how their life experiences have impacted them. I can offer some solutions, such as coping mechanisms for managing trauma responses such as anxiety and depression. I also offer help in developing practical skills in managing narcissistic behaviour, such as carefully considered boundary setting, recognising that boundaries often come with negative consequences.
