I am an experience and professional counsellor/psychotherapist working in the heart of Exeter and Bristol. As a therapist, my aim is to support you with the assistance, expertise and understanding that can enable you to make the changes in your life that you want. I started Misma Counselling as my private practice.
My own decision to train and work as a psychotherapist evolved from a myriad of life experiences and challenges all of which have assisted me in my professional life.
I use a variety of approach tailored to each individual to help you explore and improve your ability to cope with your difficulties and wellbeing. My approach also is non-judgemental and aims to empowering you. The relationship that develops between us is important as part of the therapy process; that is being able to trust, feeling safe and understood, the the key of our work.
Making the choice to seek help for whether the reason is an important and encourages one, I hope whether here or elsewhere you will find the right support for yourself.

Confidentiality
Your confidentiality is important to me and to our therapeutic relationship. Confidentiality ensures that you feel safe and able to talk about anything you want to within the counselling setting. What you tell me remains confidential in that I will not disclose your identity or context of our sessions to other person unless I am legally bound to do so (eg. Child Protection, Drug Trafficking or Threat of Terrorism).
Although extremely unlikely occasions may occur when I feel it is appropriate to break our confidentiality, this may include: the possibility of harm to yourself or others, the possibility of violence to yourself or others, or the possibility of risk of suicide.
Should the need arise to inform an external agency (eg. GP), I would endeavour to discuss this with you during our sessions.
As a member of the BACP and PPA, I work within their ethical framework which requires that I have regular supervision with a qualified Supervisor. I take all my case work to supervision which is undertaken within a confidential setting. For more information please visit: BACP ethical framework.
