Relationship Counselling for Exeter, without the journey
Across Exeter, from the cathedral quarter and the quay to St Thomas, Heavitree and Pinhoe, and from the streets around the cathedral, the quay and the university, online relationship counselling takes the logistics out of getting help: no commute, no waiting room, and the focus kept where it belongs, on you.
From my base in Hove, I see clients all over the country by video. For someone in Exeter, that opens up an experienced, BACP-registered specialist without the need to find one on your own doorstep.
I also work online with people elsewhere in South West, including Plymouth, Torquay, Taunton.
If you would still prefer to meet in person and can travel to the Sussex coast, you are welcome to, but for most clients in Exeter online relationship counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Exeter
Why people in Exeter reach out
Exeter pairs a historic cathedral core with a large and growing university, and the two can pull in different directions: the quiet expectations of a county city and the intense pressure of student and academic life. Rising costs and a sense of being the regional outlier in a rural county add to the strain people carry.
Student and academic life can be intense and surprisingly lonely, even surrounded by people your own age. Working online keeps support steady through term and vacation alike, wherever you are.

Why online works in Exeter
Why people in Exeter choose online counselling
Private and unhurried
A confidential online hour asks nothing of appearances and meets you exactly where you are.
No commute, no waiting room
From Exeter, there's no journey across town and no waiting room. You join from wherever feels safe, and the rest of your day simply carries on around the session.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Exeter aren't limited to whoever practises locally. You can choose the counsellor who genuinely fits the issue you're facing, not just the nearest one.
Easier to keep to
A weekly session you can take from home is far simpler to protect than one that needs travel. That consistency is exactly where lasting change comes from.
How online sessions work
Here's what actually happens once we begin. My approach is integrative and person-centred. We are not looking for someone to blame, but at the system the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, drawing on relational therapy, Internal Family Systems and Human Givens approaches.
You don't need any special software, just a private space, a device with a camera and a decent connection. We always start with a free fifteen-minute call, and from then on you simply click a secure link at the time we've set.

Start the conversationFinding support in Exeter
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Exeter, you can refer yourself directly to TALKWORKS, Devon's NHS Talking Therapies service for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed. You can also find your nearest service through the NHS Talking Therapies finder.
Private sessions with me usually mean you can start sooner, stay with the same counsellor throughout, and work at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I'm glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.
If you need urgent help now
This practice is not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.
For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
Exeter questions
Online Relationship Counselling in Exeter: common questions
Can I have online relationship counselling if I live in Exeter?
Absolutely. Exeter is well within reach, because we meet by secure video rather than in person. You'll get exactly the same specialist support as someone sitting in my Hove room.
How does online relationship counselling work from Exeter?
We meet over a secure, private video link at a time that suits you. You'll need a quiet space, a device with a camera and a steady connection. We always begin with a free fifteen-minute call so you can ask questions and check the fit.
Does online therapy really work?
Online and in-person therapy are similarly effective for most people, and clients usually settle quickly once the screen fades into the background and the conversation takes over.
Can I use the NHS in Exeter as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from TALKWORKS, Devon's NHS Talking Therapies service alongside our work; private counselling simply means you can usually start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout. I'm happy to work alongside any NHS support you're receiving.
