Narrative
Person-Centred
Trauma focused
Relational
Schema Therapy
Structural Family Therapy

Spiritual development
“If you’ve never had counselling before, I know it can feel like a big step. I’m very happy to answer any questions you may have about the process, and I can also offer a no-obligation ‘taster’ session to assist you in deciding whether to go ahead.
Call me to find out more or arrange a consultation.”
Working together
In a confidential space just for you, we can work things out at your own pace, whatever you are dealing with.
I have an office in Truro, Cornwall, as well as an online clinic.
My current work is with adults of all ages, and often with new parents, would-be parents and bereaved parents helping them to successfully cope with major life transitions with all their pressures.
Counselling is about you….
the horizon is boundless
