I'm Pippa - a compassionate therapist working with adults who feel lost, stuck or disconnected from who they truly are.

Perhaps you’re struggling with low self-worth, people-pleasing, anxiety, perfectionism or a harsh inner critic. You may find yourself losing yourself in relationships, constantly putting other people’s needs before your own or questioning your feelings, decisions and sense of self.

Many of the people I work with have spent years adapting to meet the expectations of others while losing touch with their own needs, values and voice.

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 are.

Over time, therapy can help you to:

• Trust your thoughts, feelings and decisions more fully

• Develop healthier boundaries without guilt

​

• Navigate - and potentially leave - controlling relationships

• Let go of people-pleasing and self-abandoning patterns

• Build greater self-worth and self-compassion

• Feel more confident in relationships

• Understand and heal the roots of a harsh inner critic

• Reconnect with your needs, values and authentic voice

My hope is that therapy helps you feel more at home in yourself, more confident in your choices and more able to become the person you never had the chance to be.

How I work

​

I work online (via video or phone) as well as in person from my tranquil attic therapy room in the centre of Exeter.​

​

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.

​

I now also offer packages of intensive focus-led sessions, for anyone who is time-poor or in need of more timely support for something in your life, such as navigating a narcissistic or controlling partner or family member or having to make a significant life decision.

​

Please contact me if you'd like to know more about anything I've mentioned.
