Integrative Counselling Services in Totnes & Exeter
Established in 2005, I operate as an integrative counsellor with extensive experience in addiction psychology, eating disorders, and trauma therapy. My practice combines evidence-based methodologies including CBT, Gestalt, and psychodynamic approaches alongside mindfulness and eco-therapy techniques. Holding a distinction Masters in Addiction Psychology from London South Bank University, I've facilitated cross-disciplinary treatment programs at prominent UK rehabilitation centres and developed specialised therapies for sexual abuse survivors and individuals with complex trauma.My training encompasses nature-based therapy at Schumacher Institute and advanced eating disorder treatment from the National Centre for Eating Disorders. I maintain strict adherence to BACP ethical standards through regular supervision and professional development while offering confidential one-to-one therapy in Devon and virtual sessions. My therapeutic philosophy prioritises client autonomy, utilising body awareness and creative expression to support sustainable recovery from addictive behaviours and emotional distress.
