About me

I am a professionally trained BACP accredited counsellor with experience in a wide variety of settings. In particular I specialise in the psychological impact of physical health conditions. This ranges from anxiety and panic attacks brought on by both situational and health related circumstances, through to trauma based therapy concerning end of life issues, diagnosis, and treatment of life threatening illnesses. For the last nine years I worked as a counsellor within the Cancer Psychology Service in a hospital in Wolverhampton. Having been fortunate enough to relocate to Cornwall this autumn I am now working with Young People Cornwall to support the mental health and well-being of young people. As an integrative counsellor my approaches are geared towards the needs of the individual, and range from one to one sessions to groups focusing on mindfulness, visualisation and relaxation.In addition I have considerable experience working with survivors of both sexual and domestic abuse, along with issues related to bereavement and loss. My emphasis is on helping people make necessary adjustments to significant life changes, and helping them adopt coping strategies that enable them to move forward with their lives.
