Counselling Exeter
Welcome to my site. My name is Rivka and I am an integrative counsellor, offering online and telephone counselling to adults. I am so pleased you have found me.
Making the first step on your healing journey is often the hardest, so well done for getting here. Choosing a counsellor can be a daunting job. This is why I offer a free 15 minute consultation call, so you can decide if I am the right match for you.
I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I bring a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to my work as an integrative counsellor. I believe that healing happens through connection, and I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your unique needs, always working collaboratively and respectfully. My style is warm, grounded, and empathetic. I’m a thoughtful listener, here to support you through life’s challenges—whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, bereavement, family issues, social anxiety, or simply just feeling sad.
I have a particular interest in working with women’s issues, including low self-esteem, identity, life transitions, and the impact of past trauma. Whatever you’re going through, I aim to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
