As a BACP accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor, I offer you the reassurance of working with a therapist whose training, clinical experience, ethical standards and professional competence have been rigorously assessed and accredited by one of the leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK.
I offer counselling and psychotherapy to adults of all ages from comfortable practice rooms in Tiverton, Mid Devon. I also offer online therapy to clients across the UK.
I am a registered member of the Association of Christians in Counselling, and work with clients of all faiths and none.
BACP accreditation is a quality standard for experienced practitioners already registered with the BACP, who can demonstrate a recognised standard of professional excellence and ethical practice aligned with BACP's Ethical Framework and column B of the SCoPEd Framework, evidencing higher levels of training and clinical experience.
As well as working in private practice, I have worked as a psychotherapist in training both in the hospice movement and in general practice at a low-cost counselling service in Exeter.
Before beginning to train as a therapist, I initially worked as a solicitor in London and subsequently taught for many years in both state and independent schools across the UK. I have also worked in a large German engineering company and in a tiny French charcuterie business. I am married with two grown-up children.
For me, whatever my job, it’s always been about the people.
Emma Housego, Exeter Psychotherapy.

I work with a range of issues, including bereavement and loss, complex grief, anxiety, stress, perimenopause and menopause, sense of self, relationship problems and difficulties from the past that are causing problems in the present. I also work with clients who are not yet sure what is wrong; they just know that something is not right.
