Taking on new face-to-face and online clients for September.

The foundation to my therapeutic work is a humanistic approach with person-centred therapy at its core. This means I hold a space for you to land safely in our sessions, creating a non-judgemental and supportive environment for you to feel truly heard and understood. 

You are the expert on you, so we will work together in a way that unearths your inner world of thoughts and feelings in a direction you choose to navigate. Our sessions will always be led by you at your own pace and will only ever explore parts of your life that feels right for you in the moment.

You might be looking to explore some big feelings that you are not sure how to deal with. Perhaps you feel numb and things feel a little deeper under the surface than you'd like. Maybe it's just not clear where to start, you feel stuck and would like to talk to someone about your experience in a neutral and confidential environment. Finding the right therapist is essential in creating a therapeutic relationship for you to feel comfortable and ready to work on areas that feel most helpful to you, inviting the possibility of sustainable change and personal growth.

I have extensive experience in somatic work and can integrate elements of this into our work that facilitates a body connection. These elements recognise that the body holds and expresses emotional experiences, and that working with the body can be a powerful way to address well-being challenges. It can involve somatic/psycho-education and techniques like breathwork, subtle movement and gentle enquiry to help regulate your nervous system. These tools are always just an offering should you wish to explore them together.

I am qualified by the University of Plymouth and an approved professional member of the Íø±¬ÃÅ as a psychotherapist. 

I teach Counselling Studies as an associate lecturer and undertake Continuous Professional Development in the counselling and psychotherapy field.

I work with a flexible approach and focus on clients individual needs. When we begin a journey together, we first of all establish whether weekly or bi-weekly sessions are the best fit for you. After working together for a series of sessions, single sessions (as a form of top-up therapy) can be helpful to explore a specific issue.

I work face-to-face in a private therapy cabin in the Nurture Garden at the heart of Newquay Orchard. Located just behind the Heart & Soul Café, it's a discreet yet accessible spot. Set within 7 acres of community-run land, the cabin provides the added benefit of access to peaceful outdoor spaces. Parking is free and a five minute walk from the cabin.

I work online using Zoom. Reliable wifi connection in the privacy of your own home with space and quiet to have a confidential session is highly recommended to allow therapeutic work to take place.

I offer a free 30 min zoom chat which gives you the chance to ask any questions you may have about my practise and explore what has brought you to therapy. This opportunity may help you to understand if you resonate with my approach and if you feel that we align before we begin sessions.

All sessions will be 60 mins.
