Becoming aware of the patterns and habits we may find ourselves in, she will collaboratively guide you through the process of emotional awareness and invite you to explore the process of change.

    Her approach draws on Psychodynamic, Existential and Humanistic approaches. Phoebe has also completed further training on Parts Theory, Attachment Theory and various training around Somatic approaches to therapy.

    Having recognised the benefits of having a personal practice of her own, Phoebe has recently qualified as a yoga teacher. She holds classes in the local area and will soon be hosting retreats and other events.

  • Jennifer Kim

    Jennifer Kim MBACP, Sen. Accr. EMCC

    I am a qualified Integrative Therapist and Senior accredited Coach working face to face in Exeter and Sidmouth and online nationally and internationally.

    When asked what area I specialize in, my reply is always that I specialise in working with humans. I aim to see beyond the diagnosis, and value the complexity of being human and see clients as a whole rather than through the lense of an isolated diagnosis or label. However, I will only work within my competency and will refer to a specialist if the need arises.

    I am an interactive therapist and coach, always trying to collaboratively work with my clients as a team. I work at the pace and depth that my clients feel comfortable and safe with.

    Besides my work as therapist, I facilitate mental health support groups for young people aged 13-24 and am currently undergoing training to qualify as Mental Health First Aid Trainer and deliver courses for Mental Health First Aid England.

    If you would like to learn more about what I offer, how I work or would like to get in touch, please visit my website www.jktherapyandcoaching.com

  • Jenna Roper

    I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, specialising in relationships and family issues. I work with young people (13+), adult individuals, couples and families both at the practice and online. From my 20 years experience of working with families, I have a deep understanding of the difficulties that all members of a family can face and the impact this can have on developing meaningful relationships. I understand the importance of connection both to ourselves and to others and this is reflected in my practice.

    For my couple's and family sessions, I hold a safe and welcoming space, with the intention that all members can feel heard and understood. I can help to untangle any conflict, provide support for reaching important decisions and can mediate confidently to ensure the sessions have a clear purpose.

    In my practice, I welcome Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) and I am allied with the LGBTQIA+ community. I am DBS registered.

We are ideally situated in the heart of the city, close to nearby cafe’s, restaurants and shops. SPR benefits from having the Southernhay Gardens directly outside and the Cathedral Green just a short walk away. Both offer a great outdoor space to enjoy a break during your busy day.

​Please note; we are on the top floor of the building and unfortunately, we do not have access to a lift. ​
