I believe everyone has the basic right to enjoy life to the full. We all experience set-backs but our thoughts, feelings and behaviour determine how we cope and what level of fulfilment we experience from life. Through my counselling, psychotherapy, supervision and mediation work in Cornwall over the last 25 years, I have been committed to helping my clients significantly improve their quality of life.

I help my clients to learn new skills, awarenesses, beliefs and strategies that not only get them through their current difficulty but also equip them to deal with issues in ‘future days.’ For me this is what counselling is really about. Put simply, I believe a professional should show someone how to use a tool for themselves rather than do the work for them.

I am a relaxed and friendly character, although I can be enthusiastic and assertive when circumstance requires. You may wish to take advantage of a FREE initial telephone consultation, which will give you the chance to discuss your needs; completely free of obligation.

It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, therefore the decision to seek counselling or psychotherapy can be a difficult one, so I treat all my clients with respect and kindness.

Future Days (Established in 1999) is my trading name for providing Counselling, Psychotherapy and Mediation services throughout Cornwall and beyond. I work in private practice with my own therapy centre, where I have been providing Counselling, Psychotherapy and Counselling Supervision for 25 years. Also, I support the therapeutic community by training and supervising trainee counsellers.

Senior Accredited Íø±¬ÃÅ Supervisor of Psychotherapists and Counsellers. /

Formerly I was an ITA (now UKATA) Accredited TA (Transactional Analysis) Practitioner and an EMDR Practitioner. With a diploma in Therapeutic Supervision, a Gestalt Certificate and Teacher/Trainer qualifications, I have more recently qualified in Gestalt therapy. Also, I am a qualified Mediator and published author. I have worked in mental health service provision both nationally and locally. For more information, see my website. 

I live and work in the beautiful coastal estate of Duporth Bay just outside St Austell, therefore access from most parts of Cornwall easily achievable.

In order to create a calm and relaxing environment, my psychotherapy room is a spacious designated space, where I can work with individuals, couples and groups up to 6.

A free brief telephone consultation can be arranged if needed.

My most treasured human value is humility. By accepting ourselves and others we can create a space devoid of shame from which we can grow unencumbered by ego. Integrity and equality further a working relationship that can thrive on trust and honesty. A clinical supervisor should above all, be be an ally.

I have over 30 years experience as a supervisor and trainer, as well as qualification in both. As a Íø±¬ÃÅ Senior Accredited Clinical Supervisor of counselling and psychotherapy, I supervise therapists both individually and in group supervision. In addition to supervision and training qualifications I am also a Level 3 Skilled Advisor – see http://www.open.ac.uk/business/vocational-qualifications/qualifications/level-3-nvq-certificate-advice-and-guidance
