My Approach
As an integrative counsellor I'm trained in a variety of approaches and will offer a way that feels right & supportive for you. My general outlook is person centred, humanistic & holistic.
Having worked with the Womens Centre Cornwall I have particular experience in working with trauma.
Being Heard
Simply talking with someone can be a hugely supportive experience.
An empowerment model of support
The difficult circumstances we experience often deprive us of our sense of agency & self worth. Working with empowerment can redefine our sense of self & renew our capacity for living fully.
Body Centred therapy ~ Trauma sensitive
This can be deeply effective in exploring & releasing the adverse effects of trauma. I have found this to be invaluable in supporting survivors of domestic violence.
Relaxation & Mindfulness techniques
These can help alleviate the symptoms of stress, anxiety & depression and also allow us to uderstand ourselves with greater clarity.
Creative Expression
If you find it hard to put what you’re thinking & feeling into words or prefer to explore & reflect creatively, we can also use drawing, painting, sand-tray, modelling, story cards and being outdoors.
Your Requirements
You may feel you need short term counselling or longer term support, you may feel you have a particular issue or are struggling with a general sense of being stuck or anxiety. You may feel you can't put what you need into words & are not quite sure what kind of support you're looking for.
All of this is OK ~ as we start with where you are now, looking to gain a deeper understanding of your situation. This deepening insight brings with it an increased sense of freedom & choice. Effective therapy enables us to live life in a more informed and conscious way, this may involve taking action, shifting perspective, or both.
I offer a first session free, allowing you to ask any questions you need to ask, to reassure yourself that you feel comfortable with me as your counsellor. Please contact me by text or email & I will arrange to call you back at a convenient time.
I offer counselling in person at the Tavistock Therapy Centre. I also offer online & telephone counselling.
