About me

I work from the centre of Falmouth with adults and young people aged 16 and above providing an accepting, empathic and authentic space as a base to gently explore from.

We are all travelers through our own lives. I sometimes see my counselling role as a companion who can help you navigate a particularly rocky section of path. I will never presume to show you the way as you are the expert in laying the course for your life but together we may be able to explore alternative ways to travel, figure out how to overcome obstacles or simply sit and feel what needs to be felt.

Having someone who can sensitively reflect unconscious behaviour and be a witness to your process may show struggle in a different light. This often creates a valuable shift in perspective giving you the opportunity to delve and explore the fullness of your being with the aim of locating hidden pools of inner resource.

As an experienced counsellor, I work within the person-centred framework and where appropriate draw on the creativity of Gestalt based interventions which ask us to look at the choices we make each day in relation to ourselves and within our relationships.Each client has specific needs and requirements from counselling which I strive to meet in order to help them live more fully, with the person-centred relationship at the heart of our unique work together.

I attend regular supervision and update my practice often by attending training, workshops and an ongoing therapy group. I abide by the BACP's code of ethics.

Usually, I suggest we meet for six sessions which we will then review.  I offer both long and short term support.

Please feel free to call or email me for a chat if you would like any further information or to get a feel for the way we could work or how I am as a person.
