My name is Steve Thom I am a fully qualified, BACP registered male counsellor, providing professional and affordable counselling in Exeter, Teignmouth and online. Clients tell me that I am warm, kind, non-judgemental and easy to talk to, especially after taking that difficult first step to contact a counsellor in the first place.

I wholeheartedly welcome the chance to work with anyone who needs the time and space to talk about everything and anything that is troubling them in life, freely and in confidence. In addition, I also have a special interest in working with:

• Men, particularly those who may be struggling to cope and who find it difficult to reach out for help. Issues I can help with range from stress, managing anger, anxiety, relationship problems, bereavement or loss, and difficulties with self-esteem and masculinity.
• Students who may be experiencing feelings of depression or anxiety related to issues such as academic pressure, family and relationship issues, eating difficulties, feeling stuck or confused or uncertainty about future life choices.
• Anyone who is feeling overwhelmed with the pressures of life or work and who may be experiencing burnout.

I am also an professionally qualified and coach with over 12 years of experience. In that time I have worked with clients on issues such as developing confidence, being more assertive, time management, public speaking and managing difficult working relationships.

Working With Me

Initially I offer a free 30 minute initial consultation either in person or online to help us decide if we’d be a good fit to work together.

I then offer short courses of counselling of 4-6 sessions, as well as longer term therapy to explore deeper issues more fully.

No matter what issues you bring to our work together, my aim will always be to help you make those first steps on your own upward spiral and help you live a happier, healthier life.
