About Me

My name is Katrina (she/her) and I'm a qualified integrative therapist working in Exeter, Devon. I offer a warm, friendly approach to counselling, providing a non-judgemental, confidential and safe space to talk.

Prior to my therapy training I spent 10 years teaching in the UK and Middle East. I was then fortunate enough to travel and learn from different cultures whilst working in the world of wellbeing where I hosted a range of retreats and trainings across the globe.

Since returning to the UK I have worked in a number of counselling organisations on a voluntary and paid basis. Blending my career experiences of working with people at all stages of life has enabled me to offer support to a wide range of challenges in my private practice counselling room.

I specialise in working with eating disorders offering emotional support and comfort on the recovery journey. I have a particular interest in working with people who want to explore past and present relationships with their body, internalised beliefs and food.

My passion for working with disordered eating, embodied anxiety and the somatic experience has led to much further study in order to offer better help to clients at all stages of their process. I am currently in the final stages of completing the Master Practitioner Award with the National Centre for Eating Disorders.
