About me

I am a person-centred counsellor and as such, the client is always at the centre of all sessions. I have no agenda when I work with a client: it it always set by you, directed by you. My role is to create a place of safety, where you can be vulnerable and real. I am there to support you through the process, to be by your side as together we explore the issues that are disturbing you.

I have worked with Counselling for Social Change/ Low Cost Counselling Cornwall for 5 years, where I have worked with a wide variety of clients. I have also undertaken training in working with shame and ASIST (suicide first aid).

I am a warm and approachable person. I have worked as a teacher in post-16 education for 35 years and the last 10 years were spent working with disaffected students: my work with them was increasingly pastoral and supportive as much as educational. I have also worked in adult education.

I am happy to use other forms of counselling to support you, in particular Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

I offer a half-hour introductory session to clients for £15 with no commitment and I also offer concessionary rates to people in receipt of benefits ( Tax credits, Personal Independence Payments)

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I have 3 years experience of working as a qualified counsellor and 35 years experience of working in education as a teacher and in pastoral care .

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
