Welcome to my website! I am a Core Process psychotherapist in private practice in Exeter, Taunton and in Wiveliscombe, on the Somerset Devon border.  I trained at the Karuna Institute and I am accredited with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

I see both short term and long term clients, and I previously worked in the voluntary sector.

I have a particular interest in how life's traumas can leave their mark. I have completed the Somatic Experiencing training, which complements the work of psychotherapy to help resolve old traumas, as well as more recent ones, and aims to bring about lasting healing.
 
Core Process Psychotherapy
This is a gentle way of working based on respect and compassion for each individual. As the therapy develops we can relax and feel heard in a safe space. This can lead to the release of old, unhelpful patterns of feeling and behaviour. We may begin to respond to situations and relationships in a way that is more healthy for us, more authentic, and more creative.

Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing is a form of therapy developed by Dr Peter Levine which is aimed at resolving the physical and emotional symptoms of trauma. Traumatic events may have interfered with our natural ability to self-regulate the nervous system, and this in turn can disrupt many aspects of our lives and relationships. Somatic Experiencing works to help us regain peaceful self-regulation and well-being.
