Mrs Randa Barnes

Counselor

“I am an experienced BACP counsellor who works in central Exeter and Taunton.”

About Me

As an experienced BACP counsellor, I offer a confidential space in central Exeter and Taunton. Here, you can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment. We can work together to understand challenges and find new ways forward. Clients often gain clarity and practical strategies. Many find peace in dedicating time to themselves, leading to greater well-being.

Approach

You’ll find a steady, held space where I match the pace to what you bring, helping you notice patterns and small shifts that matter. I offer face-to-face appointments in Exeter, Taunton and secure online sessions, working in English or Arabic to suit your needs. Sessions often focus on safety, unpacking past hurts such as abuse or loss, and creating simple coping steps to try between meetings so change feels manageable. People seeking clear, compassionate support tend to find this approach helpful.
