Paula DishmanPsychotherapist, Counsellor, Supervisor & Trainer
in Central Exeter (EX1) & Broadclyst, Devon

I am a UKCP registered psyhcotherapist and qualified counsellor with many years of experience. I offer counselling, psychotherapy, supervision and training online, using Skype and Zoom, please contact me for more information. My first qualification was in counselling (2006) and I then went on to obtain both an Msc and UKCP registration in 2008.

There are times in most people's lives when we experience painful and difficult emotions or thoughts which seem difficult to change. My role in providing both psychotherapy and counselling is to help you make sense of what you are experiencing, to help you to develop the skills to know and accept yourself, and to make the changes that seem right for you.

I have worked with many people on many things but I have a special interest and a depth of experience in working with clients who lives have been impacted by developmental trauma and those who have had experience of the pain and trauma associated with relationships with parents or partners who are on the narcissistic spectrum.

After many years working in central London I am now happily settled in Devon. I am a qualified and very experienced, psychotherapist, counsellor, supervisor and trainer offering services in Central Exeter and in Broadclyst, EX5. I am also a core tutor and programme lead on the TA Psychotherapy advanced training at the Iron Mill institute in Exeter.

I offer psychotherapy, counselling and supervision in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment to both individuals and couples, working on either an open-ended or short term fixed time period. My office in Barnfield Crescent is in the centre of Exeter. It is a large space with a full COVID risk assessment in place, the same applies to my office in Broadclyst, EX5

I work from an integrative framework which means that I will adapt my approach to best suit your needs and will include elements of both CBT, Transactional Analysis, Relational TA, Mentalization and Psychodynamic approaches.
