I'm Pippa - a warm and compassionate qualified integraative therapist working with adults and young people. 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 neglect and misattunement, challenging relationships and childhood wounds.

Through a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic relationship, we’ll create the safety needed for you to better understand yourself, trust your instincts and reconnect with the version of you that you were always meant to be.

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 from a harsh inner critic

• Find your voice, purpose and finally feel like you belong​

How I work​

​

​​As I believe that a trusted therapeutic relationship is key for impactful therapy, I offer a free, no obligation  20 minute initial consultation via video or phone, for you to briefly outline the support you're lookinng for.

​

If you're happy to work together, I'll send you a therapeutic agreement with my terms and conditions, for you to check and sign. We can then book you in for our initial therapy session, either in person, online via video or by phone.

​

In person sessions take place in 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 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.​
