About me
I am an experienced integrative counsellor working with children, young people and adults from my private practice in central Truro.
I have a particular interest in supporting children and young people who experience a range of difficulties including symptoms of OCD along with intrusive thoughts, anxiety, overwhelm, difficulties with emotional regulation, neurodivergence, sensory differences, self harm and difficulties relating to school life and attendance. I hold a diploma in eating disorders and disordered eating and can provide an appropriate approach to support through this,
Counselling doesn't always have to mean sitting and talking. Sometimes when it gets difficult to find the words to express our feelings, it can be beneficial to express ourselves through other more creative ways. I can deliver therapy in a way that is bespoke to individual need in comfort. Inclusion is my passion.
I also work with adults who may be experiencing life's struggles including relationship issues, past childhood experiences, new diagnosis, loneliness and fears etc. and provide support sessions for parents who would like help understanding and responding to what may be happening to their child.
I find it useful to help you understand your brain and nervous system. I show you this in a way which is easy to understand - most people find it really helpful to realise that your reactions are actually normal!
Working from a cosy, warm cottage style building in central Truro, I offer a brief, no obligation telephone consultation followed by a 1 hour assessment appointment where we can decide if my kind of therapy is what you are looking for.

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.
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.
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.
