Charlotte Ferns (my pronouns are she/her)

Hello, I'm Charlotte Ferns - a Trainee Psychotherapist, based in Devon. Please do get in touch if you have any questions. I offer a free, 15-minute conversation over the phone, to see if therapy with me is a good fit for you. I have worked with a diverse range of clients at organisations such as Headstrong Counselling and The Swan Project. I have experience particularly of working with anxiety, depression, loss, addiction, and trauma; though I am interested in each individual's life experience first and foremost.

I draw on contemporary theories, including: how our nervous systems are regulated, the relationship between mind and body, early development and how our wellbeing is interconnected with our identity, relationships, and the world around us. I aim to offer my perspective lightly. I don't diagnose based on medical/disorder models but have a working understanding of relevant mental health classifications and services. I offer weekly, 50 minute therapy sessions. I currently have a couple of slots in person at The Practice Rooms Exeter. I am a member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy and subscribe to their ethical guidelines. I receive regular supervision from an accredited professional, who reviews my work to ensure that I am working in the best interest of clients. I am a current student on the MSc Integrative Psychotherapy course at The Metanoia Institute. I continue to expand my learning with regular professional training sessions from a range of reputable providers. Therapy has had a profound impact in my life and I continue my own journey with a personal therapist every week. I am most at peace in the outdoors, enjoying the beautiful nature that Devon has to offer.
