Psychotherapy and Counselling in Exeter and Sidmouth

Welcome to my web site...

My name is Amanda Farrington, I am based in Sidmouth, but also work from consulting rooms in Exeter. I have eight years experience of both private practice and of working within the NHS.

Sometimes, all we know is that we need some extra help and support...

So, how can counselling and psychotherapy help? When you talk things through in a safe and confidential space with someone experienced and specially trained in this way it can make all the difference. Therapy can help you to explore and understand any difficulties that you may be feeling, which are affecting you from the past, or the present. Just to stop and do this can feel beneficial.

The difference between counselling and psychotherapy...

Most people know about counselling - maybe you have had some, or know of someone that has. It tends to be shorter and will often focus on one particular issue or problem. Psychotherapy is normally over a longer period of time and will explore patterns of behaviour which are affecting you now.

You might want to see a therapist for all sorts of reasons, These are just some of the areas you may wish to explore:

Relationships, work/life issues/ stress

Depression and/or difficult feelings

Panic Attacks/anxiety

Abuse

Bereavement or loss

Isolation/lack of meaning direction

Addiction

An experience that has left you with traumatic shock - this can result in feeling emotionally numb, flashbacks, nightmares and a feeling of being 'on guard'

Or, you may be feeling as if your self esteem is very low and/or you simply feel troubled or stuck and can't put your finger on why.

Sometimes emotional reactions to stress can be accompanied by other symptoms such as:-

muscle aches and pains, diarrhoea, irregular heartbeats, headaches, feelings of panic and fear, drinking too much alcohol, using drugs (including painkillers).
