I'm AJ (Anthea) a Senior MBACP Accredited Counsellor, offering confidential counselling services in Exeter, and online (via video or telephone) throughout the UK. With over 15 years of experience, I specialise in working with the blue light community and individuals facing various personal issues.

How Counselling Can Help You
Counselling is a source of help that provides practical solutions and strategies for managing your emotions. It all starts with taking that important first step of asking for help. In a confidential and non-judgmental environment, you can deeply explore the challenges you face, gaining new insights and a better understanding of yourself.
Counselling equips you with effective tools to handle your emotions and helps you realise that you already have the answers within you. By embarking on this therapeutic journey, you can heal, discover more about yourself, and work toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Individual Counselling
I provide a private, non-judgmental space where you can explore your challenges in-depth. Our sessions are tailored to provide fresh perspectives, greater self-awareness, and effective strategies to manage your emotions. Begin your journey towards healing and self-discovery.
Supervision
Are you a therapist seeking guidance and support? Whether new to this field of work or experienced, there is always an opportunity to evolve and grow as a therapist, collaborative, supportive supervision can facilitate this process.
