The first step

Next steps

  • All our sessions will take place in a comfortable, confidential setting. Either in my home therapy room in Porthtowan, or in one of the therapy rooms at the Pegasus Project in Wilson Way, Pool.
  • You choose the issues you bring to your sessions. You are the one who knows the most important subject to tackle at any given moment.
  • I offer TALKING THERAPY. Don't underestimate the power of being listened to by another person. I don't have an agenda, but I do have an overwhelming desire to understand your feelings, without judgement and with full acceptance.
  • My therapy is Mindfulness based. We'll aim to focus on and accept the physical sensations that go with your psychological states. This can be uncomfortable, but helps to process deeply buried feelings. Ignoring these feelings can lead to anxiety, depression, relationship breakdown and a host of other negative outcomes.
  • Although I don't set 'homework’, I can suggest extra work you might like to do between sessions.
  • You decide when you want to stop therapy, unless you've asked for a fixed number of sessions (e.g. 6). You may feel that you've achieved some of your outcomes after 3 sessions. Or it may take 12 sessions to get an understanding of the underlying causes of your difficulties.
  • You can return to therapy at any point in the future. You may want to do this if you notice a deeper level of emotional unrest you'd like to examine.

common questions

I offer 60-minute sessions. If a client feels that more time is needed to process a multitude of issues during one session, a 90-minute session can be arranged with prior notice.

In order to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and maintain the momentum of your emotional journey, it is recommended that therapeutic sessions are scheduled no less than two weeks apart. You may prefer to see me weekly at the beginning. Once you’ve achieved your goals, you might like to see me on a monthly basis, to gently let go of the help you needed.
The frequency and length of therapy are always dependent on your wishes.

Generally speaking, yes, absolutely. There are exceptions which relate to safeguarding minors and vulnerable adults and to your own safety. Those exceptions are discussed at the beginning of our first session.

Please send an enquiry via the contact form, email or WhatsApp message. Let me know your name, contact details and a date and time when I can call you to arrange our first session.

My fee is £45.00 per 60-minute session for individual therapy and £60.00 for couples/relationship therapy.
My individual therapy fee is flexible, depending on the client’s circumstances and our individual agreement.

Only you can answer this question after you have spoken to a therapist.
I offer a free, 30-minute consultation, by phone or video call, to discuss what is making you consider therapy and whether the type of therapy I offer is the right one for you. I also answer any questions you may have for me as a prospective therapist. This consultation allows you to decide whether you feel comfortable enough with me for us to start working together or whether you would prefer to approach another therapist, or even whether therapy is the right path for you right now.

This varies immensely but is always dependent on your needs. Some clients engage in long-term therapy, slowly processing layers of trauma. Some clients come with a very specific problem, resolve it, and leave therapy after just a few sessions. Some clients ask for 2 or 3 sessions on an ‘as needed’ basis, maybe every few months.

I see clients at my private practice in Porthtowan. Fern Cottage, Rose Hill, Porthtowan, Truro, Cornwall, TR4 8AR.

I also use the therapy room at the Pegasus Project in Wilson Way, Pool, Cornwall. If a client cannot get to either of those locations I offer video link sessions.
