Lis Sinclair

I am a Person-Centred Therapist offering counselling, CBT and solution focused therapy for young people, adults and older adults who are suffering with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, agoraphobia, addictions, unhealthy habits, ADHD, relationship difficulties and bereavement. I have also worked in agencies that specialise in sexual abuse and trauma.

The search for a therapist is a hugely personal one and the outlook for the therapy depends on the quality of the relationship between therapist and client. I therefore offer a telephone, video or face to face conversation before you decide if you would like to continue.

As a qualified Person-Centred Therapist and accredited member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), I offer empathy, compassion and confidentiality in a pleasant warm space where you can explore thoughts and emotions that are troubling you.

I am also a qualified CBT counsellor and can offer solution focused therapy. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is a holistic approach that focuses on thoughts, emotions, physical feelings and behaviours and how these may be manifesting as, for example, anxiety and depression. This is a collaborative approach to therapy which is research based and effective.  It can involve psycho education and an exploration of core beliefs giving the client the tools to move forward.

I have lived a multicultural life both in the UK and overseas having had a career in Education before Counselling. Whilst in Education I worked as a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) and Head of Inclusion in International Schools both in the South of France and in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Here I worked with staff, parents and students putting in place support for those with learning difficulties and those going through stressful and difficult times. 

Through the process of therapy, a person finds that they can learn to become the person that they really want to be, their authentic selves. Through counselling, you can strip away past conditioning and look at relationships that do not serve you.

I offer you a place of warmth and safety where you are not judged or criticised but can freely express your deepest thoughts and feelings. 

As well as working with young people and their families as a teacher and mentor I have also worked with adults suffering with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, agoraphobia, relational difficulties and bereavement. I have also worked in agencies that specialise in sexual abuse and trauma.

I am an accredited member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and work within its ethical framework offering long and short-term face to face work, time-limited counselling, video, telephone and walk and talk therapy. A session lasts for 50 minutes.

I work in a therapy room in Falmouth with adults of all ages, young people, and teenagers. The space is inviting and completely confidential. I  also offer online video or telephone therapy from my own office.

The sessions last 50 minutes and cost £60. Potentially I can make concessions for students and those on low incomes.
