Sometimes we know something isn't right long before we can explain it. We may feel anxious, disconnected, trapped in the same relationships, overwhelmed by self-doubt, or simply no longer like ourselves. The thoughts keep returning, our reactions don't make sense, and despite our best efforts, the same patterns repeat.

Therapy offers the opportunity to slow down and make sense of what has been difficult to put into words. Together, we can begin to understand how your experiences have shaped the way you think, feel, and relate to others. As those patterns become clearer, new possibilities for change begin to emerge.

Since 2006, I have worked with individuals and couples experiencing relationship difficulties, trauma, anxiety, emotional distress, and sexual concerns. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and non-judgemental, while also gently challenging you to explore aspects of yourself that may previously have felt out of reach.

I don't believe lasting change comes from quick fixes or advice alone. It comes from understanding yourself more deeply. Therapy puts words to feelings that might otherwise remain painful, confusing, or unresolved. You don't need to know exactly what's wrong before you begin. If something no longer feels right, that's enough.

You can discuss anything, including what might otherwise feel taboo. I have particular experience of working with the following issues;​

​A lack of self love or self compassion

Problems within relationships (Sex, Fidelity, Conflict)

Sexual desire discrepancies

Low Sexual Desire "Cant be bothered"

A difficulty in trusting others

Sexual Anxiety

Erectile Dysfunction

Feeling angry

Interest in kink, fetish and alternative relationship models

Thoughts that can't be got rid of

Putting other peoples needs, before your own.

A difficulty in getting things done

Problematic use of the internet

Burdening Relationships and Responsibilities

I offer a free fifteen minute call to discuss your needs. 

The first therapy sessions is a chance for you to explore how it feels to work together. It is focused on you, and what you want to achieve by working with me. I will explain how I work, and if we feel we are a good fit off we go.

I offer face to face meetings in my office in Lemon Street Truro, along with online appointments.

Burdening Relationships and Responsibilities

​I work on a long and short term basis.

 I offer a free fifteen minute call to discuss your needs from therapy.

I work with AXA Aviva and Vitality Health

The first session, is an opportunity for you to discuss your concerns, and explore whether the experience and approach I offer, suits you, and the issues you want to work on. We will discuss any questions or concerns you have about starting therapy, and what you may want to achieve.

If we decide that we are a good fit, we will arrange a regular time, and day to meet.

Since 2006 I have helped individuals and couples, work through complex emotions, traumatic experiences and unhelpful thought patterns. In doing so, the approach reduces feelings of inferiority, builds confidence and develops trust to do the right thing for you. 

Reflecting how you are with others, and how they make you feel, can be revealing and bring about change, so you can feel more present and involved in your life. I work with a warm non-judgemental approach, whilst at the same time I may challenge you to explore your patterns and thinking, at a pace that works for you. 

​Therapy puts words to the feelings, that would otherwise remain painful or unresolved. Its ok to start therapy, without knowing exactly what's wrong.

Working together you'll gain a new outlook on your circumstances enabling you to;

​Let go of past hurt

Make choices

Take charge of your life
