I am currently taking on new clients - in person and online

I use therapy rooms in central Falmouth and Truro

I also work from my comfortable van from various, lovely Cornish locations.  This space provides a great opportunity to work in lots of locations that provide lovely backdrops.

It also means that I can offer a space for people with mobility problems or who struggle to be far from home for any reason.

I'm happy to send you pictures of the van and discuss locations with you.

Working outdoors - ecotherapy - walk and talks - are also possible.  It's great to have the back up of the van in case of challenging Cornish weather - meaning we don't have to miss a session if the weather is against us!

Authentic . Diverse . Relational

Being heard in a safe and confidential space where you are met with warmth, compassion and acceptance is, in my experience, invaluable. This is what I aim to offer to the people I work with.

A space and time set aside, just for you, to be how you need to be - without judgement or anyone else’s agenda placed upon you.

Effective counselling can help us to explore and unravel the challenges that arise as we do our best to navigate life in a fast-paced and uncertain world. Having someone to listen mindfully and feedback to us is validating of our experience and leads to deeper personal insights, so that we might come to understand and know ourselves better than before and feel empowered to make changes in our lives.

The quality of the therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor is one of the key factors in achieving effective outcomes and I believe that my existing clientele would assert that they feel cared for and valued in their work with me.

I have worked first hand with people experiencing crises and trauma through sudden losses - including experiencing loved ones who have taken their own lives or who have died in unexpected, violent circumstances.  Grief and loss are areas close to my heart and come up for people all the time in many different ways. Having space and time to grieve with someone to be next to you whilst it’s painful, can really offer comfort and movement towards some healing over time.

As a late-diagnosed autistic woman, I am really interested in working with neurodivergent people and indeed, all forms of diversity. I consider myself to be open-minded and embracing of different kinds of lifestyles and family configurations. My own path has encompassed both same-sex and heterosexual relationships and I am a ‘seasoned’ step-mother; definitely having earned my stripes in that department!

My life these days pretty much centres around my three dogs and enjoying the outdoors with them. Working outdoors with clients is something I really enjoy. I’ve found the power of walking and fresh air very therapeutic for myself, and I believe that when we look after our bodies, we really do look after our minds at the same time.

I love to travel, adore the sunshine and feel grateful to be able to work with all kinds of people who are brave enough to be vulnerable with me. What a privilege that is. I hope to meet you soon.

My first session is chargeable at the full rate.

We look spend some time contracting and exploring your goals for therapy.

We will get to know each other a little better and see if we feel that we will be a good match to work together in a therapeutic space.
