Am I the right person for you?

I understand the importance of having someone to talk to during difficult times. Through my own experiences, I have seen first hand how therapy can be transformational and life-changing. I truly believe it's a privilege to do what I do, it's something I never take for granted and spurs me on to be the best possible therapist I can be. 

If you feel it's time for you to create some change and you are looking for someone who is friendly, professional but doesn't take themselves too seriously, has a sense humour, isn't easily offended and will provide you with a welcoming, open and honest space, then I may be the therapist for you. 

​

My background..

​

About 15 years ago I decided to do a psychology degree having always had a passion for the subject exploring why people act as they do and the science behind mind and behaviour. After my degree I trained in therapeutic counselling studying different approaches such as person centred counselling, cognitive behaviour therapy, mindfulness and working creatively. During my course I volunteered with CRUSE bereavement care where I encountered many people who came with not just bereavement and loss but many other issues. Since then I've been lucky enough to have built a full time practice working in beautiful Cornwall and speaking to people online nationally and internationally. 

​

Professional Membership and experience......

Due to the variety of work that I do I belong to different organisations The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), National Counselling Society (NCS) and The British Psychological Society (BPS) all of which have their own strict code of conduct. 

​

As a registered member of the BACP I abide by their ethical framework for working with people safely and professionally. I have regular supervision to make sure I am working using best practice and engage in regular training to ensure my skills are up to date. 

Qualifications / Training Courses / Experience 

I have experience working with solution focussed therapy or longer term work through insurance companies, national charities and employee assistance programmes. In addition I've completed psychology assessments using various psychometric assessments and made recommendations within NICE guidelines. Please contact me if I can be of assistance.
