My aim is that we will work together to build a warm and trusting environment where a genuine relationship will flourish. Within this relationship we will work on any issues that are currently affecting you. Commonly this might be anxiety, depression, loss, family issues and low self-confidence.

 

I work with people with a variety of different needs and we would start with a no-obligation chat to decide whether we can work together.

 

Some of my work involves navigating complex mother-daughter relationships with the aim of finding a way forward that fits the situation. 

 

Some of my work is with parents of transgendered children to help them navigate the emotional toll that brings. Some are trying to accept their child's new identity, others feel their child is making a mistake; my role is not to affirm or deny any gender change, it is to help parents cope at a time when stakes, and emotions, are high.

 

I also work with people with a long term illness eg ME/CFS. Often people with chronic fatigue are dismissed and not believed by their loved ones and medical staff, which presents a challenge which can be as great as the fatigue itself.

 

I provide relational, psychodynamic and integrative psychotherapy. Our conversations are guided by you and what suits your needs.

 

I work inclusively and will attempt to provide every accommodation necessary for different abilities, neurodiversities, genders, sexualities and races. If you struggle to initiate the task of first contacting a therapist, you can whatsapp me with a simple 'hi' and I will respond.

 

I work online and at my premises in Exeter and offer regular weekly appointments including before or after traditional working hours if needed. I am a registered member of the BACP; I adhere to their ethical standards and can assure confidentialty. I charge £55 per 50 minute session, however I have a sliding scale for those who would otherwise struggle to access my services.  If you would like to have a free introductory 10-15 minute chat to decide if we might work well together you can call, leave a message below, whatsapp me on 07404 960686, or email me miriam@theraps.co.uk.
