About me
I'm a warm and welcoming counsellor based in North Cornwall. My theoretical modality is person centred however, I believe in a pluralistic approach to working with clients.
Working together, we will navigate through your experiences and/or issues helping you to learn to trust yourself, love yourself and develop into the person you long to be. There may be challenges but there will always be empathy, acceptance and non-judgement.
I offer the following:
Face to face counselling for individuals, couples or any other relationship dynamic - come and see me in my private practice. I offer sessions Monday - Thursday 09:00 - 17:00. Typically sessions last between 50-60 minutes. We may undertake other modes of therapy, for instance, art therapy however, any creative therapy will only be undertaken if you are happy to do so.
Walk and talk therapy - many routes in and around North Cornwall, whatever you are able to manage I can tailor routes to fit with you. Session lengths vary between 60 - 90 minutes and are typically weather dependent.
Online counselling - as with face to face counselling, I offer sessions Monday - Thursday 09:00 - 17:00, typically sessions last between 50-60 minutes. Happy to discuss with clients the best way to work online together.
I also offer group therapy, please contact me for further details.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
