About me
Hello, I’m Jess, a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor based in beautiful Cornwall. Life is full of transitions, and while change can bring opportunities, it can also feel overwhelming and unsettling. Whether you're navigating a new job, a new baby, a relationship breakdown, parenting challenges, health issues, bereavement, or other forms of loss, these experiences can be difficult to process.
You may find yourself feeling anxious, stuck, or low in mood, unsure of how to move forward. Counselling provides a safe and confidential space where you can explore your feelings and fears without worrying about their impact on friends or family. Together, we can uncover insights, explore your challenges, and help you discover meaningful ways to move forward with clarity and confidence.
I’m here to listen without judgement and to support you with compassion. I aim to create a warm and welcoming environment where you can feel truly heard and understood. By working together, we’ll reflect on your concerns, delve into the subconscious factors influencing your emotions, and uncover the potential for growth and positive change. My goal is to help you flourish as your authentic self.
Taking the first step to seek support isn’t easy, but it’s a courageous choice—and you’ve already made it by being here. I offer an initial consultation at a reduced rate to help you decide if I’m the right counsellor for you. Feel free to get in touch by email or phone, and we’ll arrange a time to discuss how we can work together.
Training, Qualifications, and Experience
I began my counselling journey in 2019 and bring with me a wealth of experience from my background in health and social care. I’ve worked extensively with individuals facing a range of challenges, including:
Autism and learning disabilities/difficulties
Physical health conditions and chronic illnesses
Palliative care (both in the NHS and private care sectors)
Acute, severe, and chronic mental health conditions
Substance misuse, self-harm, and suicide prevention
Social deprivation, including homelessness and domestic violence
These experiences have deepened my understanding and empathy, allowing me to support clients from diverse backgrounds with compassion and expertise.
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Person-Centred Therapy and am currently advancing my knowledge through a BA in Counselling, which began in September 2023. As a registered member of the BACP, I adhere to its ethical framework, which prioritises your privacy, safety, and well-being. I also participate in regular clinical supervision to ensure the highest standard of care for my clients.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
