It takes courage to become truly and confidently oneself. I combine modern therapeutic practice with a mindfulness based approach, which uses the deep relationship between body and mind to bring back mental, emotional and physical balance. I use a a mixture of counselling and yoga combined as needed, to address imbalances of mind and body. Yoga therapy will help you to: develop insight into what is happening inside you, psychologically and emotionally. cultivate the presence of mind to be able to feel your way into uncomfortable experiences and disarm them, calm the nervous system and enhance autonomy and well-being.

As we move through life we will experience many changes, some for the better, some leaving us with feelings that may start to impact on other areas of our lives. It can feel very scary when suddenly things that didn't used to worry or distress us seem now to be a problem. Or it could be that you just need to understand why you feel the way you do about certain situation. We can feel lonely and isolated within the problem, this is when counselling can give you the space to explore what is causing the problem without the advice or direction that family and friends can sometime give.

I offer compassionate, trauma-informed support for personal growth. I'll support you to recognise the ways in which trauma is impacting the ways you relate to yourself and others, and to also uncover new strengths and pathways for meaningful personal growth beyond the challenges you've experienced.
I have often found that understanding people's diagnoses and symptoms as responses to what they have lived through is valuable in helping them shed the self-blame they might carry. Often, people find themselves stuck in cycles of behaviour that no longer serve them, yet feel at a loss for how to make meaningful change.

Whatever your difficulties - anxiety, low mood, life transitions, trauma, self-esteem, grief, relationships - I’m here to reassure you that you’re not alone.
Hi, I’m Rebecca - a qualified counsellor, nature-lover, mum, wife, sister, friend. And, importantly, fellow human being! Like many of us, I know how it feels to struggle with the endless demands, complexities and difficulties of life. But I’ve come to see that life doesn’t have to be this hard, and we don’t need to struggle alone.
I love my work, supporting both adults and teenagers. I'd describe my approach as empathetic, collaborative and down-to-earth and often think of the lighthouse as a good reflection of how I work: offering a steady light and a supportive space as you find your way onto the path you wish to be.

We simply use trance to speak to that “other part” so that all of you can safely move forward in the right direction.

At Saltash Counselling, I can support you to find your own answers through a range of approaches. My professional experience includes adults, adolescents and children.

Welcome - my name is Jo.
Sometimes, life can feel overwhelming and scary.
You may be used to coping — managing things well and being someone others rely on — but have reached a point where that’s no longer working.
Perhaps after a period of pressure or change, you’re feeling anxious, angry, flat, or sad, and unsure how to make sense of it.
I offer a calm, supportive, non-judgmental space where we can slow things down and begin to understand what’s happening. Together, we explore your thoughts and feelings in a way that feels manageable, helping you to feel more grounded, less overwhelmed, and more like yourself again.

I love working with people of all ages - from 11 years old into retirement. Young people often come to counselling because they are experiencing difficulties. Together we'll try to understand these more fully and develop skills to manage them and the associated feelings. This process often helps the young person learn more about themselves and what they want. Adult clients often come because they are stuck in unhelpful patterns. Together we'll look under surface at the feelings, beliefs and behaviours that may be causing the stuck-ness. Looking at aspects of ourselves that aren't usually seen often encourages self growth.

You may have learned early to be quiet, capable, and attuned to others in order to belong. You might feel anxious in relationships, unsure of your needs, or afraid of taking up space. Perhaps you’ve spent years being “the good one,” while feeling disconnected from yourself. You may be tired of overthinking, self-doubt, or adapting to others at your own expense, and want a steadier sense of self, safety, and choice in how you live and relate.

Having the time and space within counselling to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and confidential environment is often the first step in making positive change in someone’s life. Our problems can sometimes feel too big or heavy to carry ourselves. Often it’s hard to pinpoint what’s actually wrong, but that low mood, and anxiety over powers us. Counselling will help you understand your behaviours and emotions that little bit better and give you insight into why you may be finding things difficult. With this understanding, it is often the catalyst for positive change leading to a more balanced and healthy future.

Self Esteem Counsellors
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
