Here to Listen. Here to help.
Welcome - If you've found your way here, you may be carrying something heavy - a loss, a change, a silence that feels too loud.
I'm Lizette, a registered counsellor offering confidential therapy for adults in Exeter and across the UK, both online and in person.
With a gentle, person-focused approach and a relaxed, friendly manner, I offer a safe space for you to heal and feel heard.
Therapy with me....
In my role, I place great emphasis on the significance of the therapeutic relationship. Creating a warm and welcoming environment is key to establishing trust and facilitating open communication. My practice is centrally based in Exeter as well as Newton Abbot, and I also offer online sessions. My approach involves blending insights from various therapeutic modalities to suit you - your story, your pace, your needs.
By tailoring strategies based on personal challenges, I aim to provide a friendly, yet professionally guided counselling experience for either current, or long term issues that supports clients in their journey of self-discovery and growth.
As an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), I adhere to their rigorous ethical framework. My commitment to professional growth is reflected in my completion of both Level 3 Foundation and Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Counselling. Since qualifying, I have also attained my BACP Certificate of Proficiency.
Additionally, I’ve undertaken a Bereavement Support Foundation Course (NCS 2022) and consistently engage in continuing professional development to enrich and elevate my practice for bereavement counselling in Exeter and online.
I believe we each have an innate ability to know what is right for us. But sometimes, due to either loss, trauma, bereavement, abuse, adverse events from our childhood or a life changing event, we lose our direction. Given the right environment, including a safe space to be seen and heard, counselling promotes healing, change and growth.
" The sun will rise and set regardless. What you choose to do with the light while it's here is up to you. Journey wisely."
Alexandra Elle
We all need to take time for ourselves. Making ourselves a priority is key to a fulfilling and rewarding life. Therefore, the best time to change is now. It is my intention to be curious, sometimes challenging, but always compassionately guiding you on your healing journey to become your best self.
Speak in Confidence
In the therapy space, thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely, without judgement, and in confidence.
Make better, healthier new choices
Together, we'll explore the challenges you're facing, uncover the roots of your patterns and emotional responses, and support you in making healthier, more meaningful choices.

Fees & Location
I offer both in-person and online sessions on either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, each lasting one hour. Most clients choose to meet weekly. My fee is £50 for online sessions and £60 for in-person.
Payment can be made by bank transfer or in cash - whichever is easier for you - and I kindly ask that it's made before or at the time of our session.
If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, I'll do my best to find another time that week. I appreciate at least 48 hours' notice, sessions cancelled with less notice may still be charged.
My colourful and relaxing counselling room in Exeter is located at The Attic Therapy Practice in Southernhay. I am also found at The Barnfield Hill Therapy Rooms, 4 Barnfield Hill, Exeter, EX1 1SR. Get directions here.
