About me and my therapy practice
I’m a Íø±¬ÃÅ-registered psychotherapist based in Torbay, offering individual counselling for adults navigating emotions and feelings as well as those who have difficulties managing mental and emotional health.
With a background in NHS health coaching, personal training, and yoga, I offer a holistic approach that recognises the link between emotional and physical wellbeing using talk therapy and psychology. Clients describe me as grounded, warm, and easy to talk to.
I work from The Devon Clinic in Paignton and online, creating a space to reflect, realign, and move forward. Whether you’re facing burnout, identity shifts, or seeking change, I offer support that’s collaborative and personalised.
I offer a short free telephone consultation for us to learn about your therapeutic needs.
Practice description
Counselling for Emotions and Feelings
Counselling can be the first step toward feeling lighter and more in control of your life. Together, we look at where life feels full or unbalanced, explore what’s holding you back, and find new ways forward.
My integrative approach helps you make sense of past patterns, manage stress more effectively, and build a stronger sense of purpose. Many clients leave feeling calmer, clearer, and ready to make meaningful changes.
Psychotherapy for Mental and Emotional Support
Psychotherapy with me is a safe, trauma-informed space to explore your past and reconnect with your authentic self.
Many neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ clients come to therapy feeling exhausted from masking, worried about being truly seen, or carrying the weight of past experiences. Together, we work gently at your pace to build safety, process old wounds, and understand emotional triggers.
Our work focuses on helping you feel grounded in your body, confident in who you are, and able to create a life with more balance, connection, and joy.​
My first session
We begin with an Introductory Consultation Call to learn about you, your life, and how I can support you. I will ask if you want to do counselling or psychotherapy - and suggest a route if you are unsure.
Through a compassionate, integrative approach, clients uncover the roots of their stress and transform their emotional balance, blending humanistic care with psychodynamic insights and CBT strategies.
Each weekly or agreed appointment will last 50 minutes, where you will experience a dedicated and confidential space to share what you are feeling using non-judgmental talk therapy.
We will review our diaries and book an available appointment in Paignton, Torquay, or a Zoom call that suits you.
