I am an experienced Core Process Psychotherapist and Supervisor, offering online therapy and in-person sessions from my private practice near Totnes. I have worked across a range of settings, including private practice, mental health, addiction services, family mediation, educational institutions, and multidisciplinary teams. I work with individuals, couples, and those struggling with addiction, bringing a compassionate and collaborative approach to every therapeutic relationship.

I believe that meaningful and lasting change happens within a safe, trusting space where clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. For me, therapy is not about “fixing” a problem, but about creating a holding environment in which clients can reconnect with their inner strengths, deepen self-awareness, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Couples Therapy

As a Couples Therapist, I support partners to improve communication, rebuild trust, and navigate conflict in constructive and compassionate ways. My work is influenced by attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches. I help couples slow down reactive cycles, recognise negative relational patterns, explore underlying unmet needs, and develop new ways of creating deeper emotional connection.

In couples work, I support partners in:

• Improving communication
• Rebuilding and repairing  trust
• Moving forward after deep hurt
• Navigating conflict
• Making decisions about the future of the relationship

Addiction & Healing

I work with individuals experiencing substance use and behavioural addictions, as well as those in recovery. Therapy may focus on:

• Understanding triggers and recurring patterns
• Addressing underlying emotional wounds
• Building coping strategies and internal resources
• Relapse prevention
• Rebuilding relationships and self-trust

I take a non-judgmental, harm-reduction and recovery-oriented approach. Whether you are questioning your relationship with substances or committed to long-term abstinence, therapy can provide structure, accountability, and steady support.

 

Supervision

I am a qualified supervisor with over 15 years’ experience supporting practitioners from a range of modalities and trainings.

My approach to supervision is reflective, relational, and collaborative, grounded in the belief that effective therapy begins with a well-supported practitioner. I believe all professionals working with clients — whether in private practice, the NHS, or agency settings — need a facilitated space to reflect on their work. My supervisory approach emphasises depth, relational awareness, and the therapeutic relationship as central to transformation and change.

My Philosophy

As a supervisor, I offer a reflective, supportive, and non-judgmental environment that balances encouragement with thoughtful challenge. I aim to create a space where supervisees feel safe and empowered to explore both their strengths and their learning edges.

Areas of focus include:

The therapeutic relationship
Transference, countertransference, and parallel process
Inherent health and well-being
Attachment processes
Development of ethical confidence and professional identity
Building resilience and preventing burnout
Professional development
Deepening clinical insight and case conceptualisation

I offer individual and group supervision to students, newly qualified practitioners, and experienced therapists, both in person and online.
