Struggling with Bereavement and loss or unresolved grief
Feeling anxious, irritated or angry

Feel like you are lacking in confidence or have low self-esteem

Wanting to be more self aware but not knowing how to go about it
I am an established, qualified therapeutic counsellor working online, via telephone and at Newquay therapy centre.
I draw on my life experiences, training and counselling skills to help you to overcome life‘s difficulties and challenges and to bring about change to your life.
The first part of my journey to where I am now was growing up in an environment full of difference and diversity and then, after spending a lot of years within the legal profession and helping others, I moved to France. It was during my time in France that I became poorly and looked for ways to get well.
My journey to being well is what led me to becoming a mindful practitioner but I wanted to broaden my skills and so I trained as a therapeutic counsellor, gaining additional certificates in counselling theory, anger management counselling and counselling for depression.
I now live and work in Newquay where I am a counsellor and Mindful practitioner in private practice.
I have certificates for all sorts of complimentary training including...
Working Creatively
ASIST suicide Prevention
Focusing – levels 2 & 3
Rewind therapy
Working with shame, guilt and anger
Existential crisis
Neuroscience - Understanding the nervous system and how it is linked to anxiety and depression
Mind & body therapy
Pain management
Tools and strategies to help relationships
I have also trained as a bereavement support worker (Including infant loss) and I am able to help others cope with many different types of loss and grief.
I have personally recovered from CFS and maintain fibromyalgia as well as being a cancer warrior.
I participate in my own self care plan which also includes counselling.
Choosing a counsellor is an important and significant decision. Choosing one that is appropriately qualified and registered is important but, what is equally as important is that you feel comfortable enough to talk about meaningful and difficult feelings and situations.
And so, that is a little about me, and if you want to know any more then just ask!
