Welcome!

I'm Pippa - a friendly and compassionate therapist working with adults 18+. I can help if you want to try a new approach to managing anxiety and low self esteem; alongside talking therapy, I offer somatic exercises alongside as well as practical tools and techniques for you to use in every day life.
Perhaps you’re struggling with low self esteem, chronic people-pleasing, overwhelm or a harsh inner critic. You may find yourself losing yourself in friendships and relationships, or constantly putting other people’s needs before your own.
Many of the people I work with have spent years adapting to meet the expectations of others while losing touch with their own needs... they often struggle to fit in or feel like they belong.
Together, we’ll explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck, including the effects of emotional misattunement, challenging relationships and childhood wounds.
Through a compassionate and supportive therapeutic relationship, we’ll create the safety needed for you to better understand yourself, trust your instincts and reconnect with who you truly are.
Over time, therapy can help you to:
• Trust your thoughts, feelings and decisions more fully
• Develop healthier boundaries without guilt
• Navigate - and potentially end - controlling relationships
• Let go of people-pleasing and self-abandoning patterns
• Build healthy self esteem and self compassion
• Learn how to feel safe and regulated in your body
• Understand and heal the roots of a harsh inner critic
• Find your voice, purpose and finally feel like you belong

How I work
Flexible sessions
I offer in person sessions from my
tranquil therapy room in the centre
of Exeter. There's plenty of on
street parking and a car park close
by, plus Exeter Central Station just
a 3 minute walk away.
I now can offer sessions for new and existing clients on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 8.45am til 2pm, plus ad hoc afternoons and evenings.
I also offer online sessions via video or phone (UK and worldwide, excluding the US and Canada).
I'm happy to work flexibly around your schedule or timetable.

I don't have a one-size-fits all approach; I very much advocate that these are your sessions and I'm always led by what you bring to each session.
You may have something specific to work through which will be the focus of our sessions; or it may be a more pervasive feeling that something is wrong, but you can't put your finger on it. In our first session, we'll talk about what therapeutic goals you want to set and work towards them.
Sessions are usually weekly, for one hour, and are open-ended with a review every 6 weeks or so.
Please contact me if you'd like to know more about anything I've mentioned.

"I have found my sessions with Pippa extremely valuable in helping to process my thoughts and navigate some of the challenges I face. She has a calm and encouraging manner and has provided a safe space for me to be vulnerable, open up and make sense of things I have been through and how this has shaped the way I approach life day to day."
