Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counselling in Hayle

When experiencing distressing feelings that interfere with everyday life and relationships, talking to family or friends may not feel right. Find support from a neutral person whose skills will help you find resolutions. I am an Intergrative Psychotherapist with 27 years experience of working with people in various settings including the NHS and national charities. I may not have all the answers but I do have the skills to help you approach your concerns with compassion, and individuality.

At one time or another, we all need help to examine patterns or behaviours that we would like to change. You may be struggling with your emotions, feeling anxious, depressed and overwhelmed. You may have difficulties in your relationships or feel that you need to process painful experiences from your past. Together we can explore the difficulties you are having and begin to make sense of your experiences at a pace that feels right for you. Starting psychotherapy - especially for the first time - takes courage, but the rewards of self-exploration can be immeasurable.

For those who feel distress, anxiety or confusion in the present and who are struggling to make sense of their situation and fulfil their potential, I can offer a space to look deeper into the issues and work creatively towards healing and fulfilment. Trauma and memories are held in the body and recognising them can offer more space within. Allowing the body to express itself can free up body tension and encourage creativity.

I have 30 yrs post-qualification organisational & private practice experience. I trained and worked in New York & London. As well as private practice, I have managed mental health and substance abuse services. I offer individual psychotherapy, family/couple counselling, & clinical supervision. I work to identify, activate and strengthen people's own internal resources. I combine exploring the origins of behaviours that have become self-defeating, with focusing on current coping strategies, support systems, and improving life in the present moment. Body/mind/emotions/spirit are interconnected, and attention needs to be paid to each.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist and I trained at the Sherwood Institute for Counselling and Psychotherapists following a long career in law. I have a passion for working with client’s who suffer with trauma, disability and diversity related issues. I work on developing a therapeutic relationship with you where you can feel safe to explore difficult and painful issues in a confidential setting; issues that you may not have been able to disclose to anyone before.

I endeavour to provide a safe, comfortable, quiet space for clients to explore sensitive issues. The relationship between myself and the client is at the heart of my approach. I believe that being with a client and offering a compassionate holding presence while they share their story is essential to establish a working therapeutic alliance before offering insight and psycho education. I adapt my approach to suit the needs of each client and integrate suitable interventions or tools work with whatever issue the client is presenting.

If you have ever thought you can be better but don't know how, I offer a range of coaching, counselling and therapeutic techniques to assist you to break out of self-imposed limitations into new possibilities and better wellbeing.

Hello, my name is Tina, Life can be overwhelming at times and finding the right counsellor can be daunting, especially when you want to trust someone to talk through personal issues. I can help you to learn to express yourself in a confidential environment. I am non-judgemental, down to earth and supportive with a lot of NHS experiences. Life is not always straightforward, it may feel impossible to move forward and to visualise your potential self. Family and friends can help; however, this may not always be possible, that’s where I can help you find yourself again in a confidential, naturally caring environment.

Hello. We all need someone to talk to when life is difficult. Counselling can help you understand more about who you are, to make better sense of past or current events, your feelings and how you relate. I seek to provide a heartfelt, safe and accompanied exploration of any issues you bring. I will seek to create a trusting alliance with you and provide a place you can find and be yourself. The therapy I practice -Core Process- works with feelings, emotions, thoughts and the felt senses towards supporting you to move through any fears and anxieties and generate a greater sense of health and wellbeing into your everyday life.
