About me

Maybe I can help you?
I hope your search for a counsellor/ therapist is going well. It can be a difficult process, but it is important to find a therapist who feels right for you. The relationship with your therapist is usually more helpful than their training and experience.

You can grow beyond your current difficulties, if you have a suitable environment in which to explore and understand what is happening with you, in your own terms. I can help provide this environment.

I’m one of Cornwall’s leading person-centred psychotherapists, and I also work online, helping people all over the world. I trained with world-leading experts at the University of Nottingham. I adhere to high ethical standards, to protect your privacy and safety.

I work with individuals, couples, teams and organizations.

I work with clients who are in some form of difficulty, such as those in the list below.

I’d also like to work with you if you are already happy or successful, but simply want to further enhance the quality of your life.

…and maybe therapy should treat you as an individual?
Person-centred therapy / counselling / coaching is a well-established relationship-based approach that’s as effective as other leading therapies or medication, yet with long-lasting change. The original ‘evidence-based’ approach, it was developed by psychologists rather than doctors, because they knew that real change can only come from within.

Because it works ‘from the inside out’, it is not dependent on medical diagnosis. Unlike all other types of therapy, the person-centred approach helps you to see things confidently from your own perspective, because you will always be the best expert on you.

This approach is holistic: we can work with your emotions, thoughts, dreams, behaviours or feelings: whatever seems most difficult for you.

In our conversations you will be truly heard, and understood, as a person. It is like having the therapist right there in your head, with you, helping you make better sense of your situation, and feeling a growing confidence.

Training, qualifications & experience

I’m a degree-qualified person-centred psychotherapist / counsellor, trained by world-leading experts at the University of Nottingham.

Working with clients online and locally, I help people live their lives their way.

Much of my work is with anxiety, depression, phobias, OCD, panic, trauma and other common conditions. But my approach is not dependant on diagnosis. I also focus on men’s stuff, adult ADHD, addictions, couples, bereavement and person-centred coaching for personal development. I also run encounter groups in the West Cornwall area.

Although many therapists claim to work in a person-centred manner, relatively few are well-trained in this approach. If in doubt, you can always ask about training before you commit to work with any therapist.

Other areas of counselling I deal with

IMPORTANT: Person-centred therapy is not dependent on medical-style diagnoses, and is effective with all types of condition. It does not involve assessment and treatment, so the idea of 'specialisms' doesn't really apply. It is broadly as effective as other leading forms of therapy, but the change comes from within, not from the therapist. My job is to facilitate that change in you. So if you would prefer a conversation to a checklist perhaps its for you :)
