Celia Ramsden

I currently have availability to take on new clients.

Trial/introductory sessions are available as a first session.

I work from Monday - Friday from 8.30am - 7pm (evening sessions are limited) Online sessions can be until 7.30pm

 Weekends sessions are occasionally available as a special request.

I will inform all of my clients 3 weeks in advance, if I will be unavailable, due to taking time off myself.

I’ve lived my happiest years since having my own personal counselling and as a result, always wanted to train as a counsellor. I originally trained and worked as a Veterinary Nurse and then taught Animal Care and Veterinary Nursing in a local college for over 20 years. During this time, I realised that people found me really easy to talk to and therefore felt becoming a counsellor would be right for me. 

I trained as an Person-Centred counsellor, which means the sessions are uniquely tailored to help you as an individual. Everyone is different and in sessions, I will integrate anything I feel might be helpful for you; including psycho-education, coaching, mindfulness & narrative therapy. 

I believe understanding why you feel the way you do in daily life or in particular circumstances, will help you move forward towards living your happiest life. 

We all grow up and often believe we feel different from other people and try to ‘fit in’ This can cause immense anxiety and exhaustion from trying so hard every day. Understanding why this might be happening for you and how it has become this way, can often result in less anxiety and becoming comfortable with who you are. 

I don’t judge anyone and will provide you with a safe, comfortable, confidential space to talk about absolutely anything that causes you stress, pain or anxiety. 

You can have a 15 minute telephone call to  ask questions or you can book a full hour trial session for £30 to 'get to know me' and see if you feel comfortable to work with me.  

I currently have spaces for student & qualified counsellors.  I provide individual or group sessions.

Supervision is a hugely important part of every counsellors work and I really enjoy working with both students and qualified counsellors.  

I work for myself in private practice and my core training was as a Person-Centred counsellor.  Over the years, I have completed additional training and integrate psycho-education, grounding, narrative therapy, mindfulness, solution focussed & coaching and I believe I use and of this for the benefit of each individual client. 

I am also the clinical group supervisor for the Cornwall Counselling Institute., working with Level 5 Diploma students.

Prior to training as a counsellor, I worked (for 23 years) as a college lecturer, helping Veterinary Nurse students achieve their professional status.  I believe the experience I have as a lecturer gives me the ability to support & guide counselling students through their training.  Starting client work can be daunting and it is vital that you have a good relationship with your supervisor.  I am a supervisor that will offer you a safe space to be genuine about how you feel working with your clients.  All supervisors are different, so I offer a trial session (at a reduced rate) so you can meet me and see how you feel.

I offer individual sessions and group sessions.

I offer the first session at a reduced rate, so you can meet with me and see if I am the right supervisor for you.
