About me
I offer sessions in-person, online, and over the phone. My in-person premises are located close to the centre of Truro with private parking. I offer new potential clients a short, free consultation over the phone to help you decide if what I offer is right for you. I have availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Therapy, to me, is a collaborative relationship between myself and my clients. The positive effect that a keen listening ear, a non-judgemental understanding, a confidential space, and an impartial perspective can have on someone can be profound. I hope to work alongside you to help aid with any mental health or life issues you might have and help you explore them as your most authentic self.
I work as a person-centred therapist. This is a non-directive, collaborative way of working that ensures that your story and world are kept at the heart of the matter - nothing’s too big or small. I will be using my skills to provide a space where you can explore your emotions and narrative at your own pace. The work can be tailored to be as gentle or as challenging as you feel you need. Whatever you require, I will aim to compassionately help you unpack the deeper material within your words so that you may be able to make sense of your situation and see things with a perspective that’s more true to you.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to their ethical framework. I have a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Studies and a Masters of Chiropractic. I am continuously learning and refining my craft through experience and professional development courses.
My experience in working in physical healthcare taught me that physical pain and tension has a significant link to our emotional and stress states. I have a keen interest in the world of chronic pain and how psychological therapy can help those suffering with it. As a result, I embarked on a journey to learn how to help my existing physical therapy patients through greater awareness of their emotions and stories. I am pleased to say it has been worth it, and am now proud to integrate psychological therapy within my work as a physical therapist.
Born and bred in Kernow, I have a deep love for my home. Whereas many young people chose to leave the county for the work opportunities it offers, I chose to stay because I wanted to provide something worthwhile for the place I call home. I am a member of a local choir, and choose to spend my time either pottering in the garden or playing video games.

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.
