The short answer is no! Sometimes the best place to start is with where you find yourself now. Your story will unfold in time, and you can share what you feel safe to.

Sessions typically last 50-60 minutes, and we would meet weekly where possible.

Please get in touch with me using the form on the 'contact' page of my website. From there, I will arrange with you via email to have a short phone call with you. If you choose to have counselling sessions with me, you can let me know and we'll then arrange your appointment time and date, further sessions if needed, and I will discuss payment options with you then.

Integrative counselling is a flexible, personalised therapeutic approach that combines techniques from different schools of therapy - such as cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, and psychodynamic, to treat the whole person. Instead of a one-size-fits-all model, it tailors your session to your needs.

I offer counselling sessions via online video calls, or in-person at the Pegasus rooms in Pool, Redruth. There is free parking available.

A common misconception about therapy is that once you begin, you'll never leave. Of course the length of time you require support will depend on the nature of your concern, but counselling's main goal is to say 'goodbye' when you are ready. Some people choose to continue therapy after their issues have been resolved to continue self exploration - but this is always your choice.

I work 1-1 with adults over the age of 18.

Each session is £50, payable by BACS or cash. I have a small number of concessionary places available at £40 per session. Please enquire about the availability of these if you need to.
