About us
I’m Lindsay, a Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist in Advanced Training and the founder of Enowi Psychotherapy. Enowi means spark or ember — the quiet, enduring heat at the centre of you, even in seasons of trauma, overwhelm or emotional shutdown. Sometimes that ember feels faint or fragile, as if it might go out. My work is about helping you find it again, understand what dimmed it, and gently build the conditions for it to burn steadier and stronger — a warm, grounded fire you can rely on.
I support people across Penzance, St Ives, Hayle, West Cornwall and online, often during moments of transition, confusion or emotional intensity. Many of the individuals and couples I work with arrive at a crossroads — young adults navigating identity and relationships, mums moving through the profound shift of matrescence, couples caught in repeating patterns, and people living with complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, burnout, dissociation, low mood, overwhelm or long‑standing personality‑based difficulties. They often describe feeling “too much”, “not enough”, or simply “lost in the in‑between”. Therapy becomes a place to slow down, make sense of your inner world and find steadier ground.
I specialise in supporting young adults who feel stuck, disconnected or overwhelmed by life transitions. Together we explore identity, relationships, nervous‑system responses and the deeper patterns shaping how you move through the world. Sessions offer clarity, emotional grounding and a space to reconnect with who you’re becoming.
I also work closely with mums navigating matrescence — the profound, often unspoken transition into motherhood. Whether you’re carrying birth trauma, postpartum anxiety, rage, guilt, exhaustion or the quiet grief of losing who you were, I offer a warm, steady space to explore the emotional load with depth and compassion.
My couples work focuses on communication breakdowns, conflict cycles, emotional distance, intimacy struggles, trust ruptures and attachment‑style clashes. Couples often arrive feeling unheard or out of sync; together we explore what sits beneath the surface — nervous‑system activation, unmet needs, relational patterns — and build steadier, more connected ways of relating.
Across all my work — individuals, couples and groups — I blend psychological depth with grounded relational presence. I draw from Transactional Analysis, trauma‑informed practice and nervous‑system‑aware therapy. Sessions are warm, spacious and steady: a place to understand your patterns, reconnect with your agency and move toward a life that feels more authentic, connected and alive.
Clients describe my style as clear, emotionally intelligent and symbolically rich without being abstract — a balance of gentleness and challenge that feels safe. I’m not here to fix you; I’m here to walk with you as you make sense of your inner world and rediscover the parts of you that are ready to grow.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m a Transactional Analysis psychotherapist in Advanced Training, completing the final year of my Level 7 training and beginning the process of my CTA exams to become a certified psychotherapist. I’m an accredited member of NCPS, a UKCP trainee and a UKATA trainee. This means your therapy sits within rigorous ethical standards, ongoing CPD and a professional code of practice that keeps our work safe, grounded and clinically robust.
Alongside my psychotherapy training, I bring over a decade of experience in adolescent and family mental health across the Public and Third Sector. My background includes extensive work with self‑harm, suicidality, domestic abuse, addiction, complex trauma, anxiety, overwhelm, relationship difficulties, grief, bereavement and the emotional impact of chronic illness. I also have specialist experience supporting neurodivergent young people and adults, including those with ADHD and autism, and understand how identity, relationships and nervous‑system patterns are shaped by neurodiversity.
I have significant experience within a men’s mental health charity, supporting men through trauma, emotional shutdown, identity struggles, relationship breakdowns and the pressure to cope alone. This work has deeply informed my understanding of how gendered expectations shape emotional expression, attachment patterns and help‑seeking.
This breadth of experience means I’m comfortable sitting with clients whose lives feel complex, messy or emotionally intense — young adults finding their footing, mums moving through matrescence, couples caught in repeating patterns, and individuals navigating long‑standing or complex mental health challenges.

Who I Work Best With
I work best with people in liminal transitions — endings, beginnings, identity shifts and seasons where life feels overwhelming or out of balance. I support clients experiencing burnout, anxiety, overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, and those navigating complex trauma, PTSD, domestic abuse, grief, chronic illness, addiction, compulsive behaviours or self‑harm.
I have particular experience with young adults finding their footing, mums moving through matrescence and the complexity of care, and men exploring emotional expression, relational patterns and the pressure to cope alone. I also work with neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, who want therapy that understands nervous‑system patterns, identity and relationships.
My clients tend to be thoughtful, sensitive, creative or high‑achieving individuals who want a therapist who can meet them with nuance, depth and clarity — someone who can hold complexity without judgement.
What Therapy With Me Feels Like
Therapy with me is calm, spacious and steady — a place where you can breathe and bring your whole self. I listen for what’s said and unsaid, offering honest, compassionate dialogue and a blend of psychological insight and grounded practicality.
You can expect a relationship that supports real, sustainable change: understanding your patterns, soothing overwhelm, strengthening your nervous system and moving toward a life that feels more aligned, connected and fully yours. I hold the work with care, precision and respect, creating a space free from performance or pretence.
Where I Work
I offer therapy online across the UK and face‑to‑face in West Cornwall, working with clients in St Ives, Hayle, Penzance and the surrounding areas. Online sessions offer accessible, depth‑oriented therapy wherever you are, while in‑person work provides a grounded, quiet space for those local to Cornwall.
