Counselling for individuals and couples. Based in St Ives, Cornwall.
I work with individuals and couples dealing with issues ranging from anxiety, bereavement, low mood, low self-esteem and addiction to relationship difficulties, including breakups and betrayals. I'm also trained in helping adults impacted by ADHD.
My role is to create a safe, supportive space in which you can talk freely and confidentially about how you’re feeling with someone from outside your usual circle.
I work with individual clients from across the spectrum of age and life experience, adopting a person-centred approach.
Offering warmth and acceptance, I’ll support you in exploring your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, allowing you to gain more clarity and understanding, and reach your own conclusions and solutions. The aim, over a series of sessions, is to help you find a way towards greater self-acceptance and resilience, and a life that feels more meaningful and purposeful to you.
My work with couples focuses on areas such as improving communication, managing conflict, building connection and negotiating stressful life events. My approach here is more integrative, drawing on different relationship theories, models and strategies. Couples therapy offers a neutral space for you to reflect on your relationship, develop a deeper understanding of each other and consider changes you might make.
The areas I specialise in are:
As well as having my own private practice, I’m an Anxiety UK Approved Therapist, a Bereavement Volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Support, and a volunteer counsellor with We Are With You (supporting people with drug, alcohol and mental health issues).
I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in accordance with its Ethical Framework.
I have completed specialist training to gain a professional Certificate in Couple/Relationship Therapy accredited by the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT) at Level 5. I also have a Certificate in Adult ADHD+ with Dr James Kustow.
I’m committed to providing a practice that is inclusive and gender, sexual and relationship diversity (GSRD)-positive.
I offer face-to-face or online sessions.
Face-to-face sessions take place at my therapy room at the Edward Hain Centre, a community wellness hub in St Ives with its own parking.
To allow you to get a better understanding of counselling and how we might work together, I offer a free, initial 20-minute phone call.
Our first session provides the opportunity to decide whether I am the right fit for you before proceeding with therapy. We can discuss what brings you to therapy and what you’d like to get out of our sessions, and you can get a better sense of my style and approach. We can also agree on a planned duration of our work together; I offer both short and long-term therapy.
Sessions for individual clients are an hour long, and 75 minutes for couples.
