Online Counselling in Cornwall & Across London, Edinburgh, Cardiff & the UK
Life can sometimes feel exhausting.
Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, low mood or stress. Maybe you've lost confidence in yourself, feel trapped in painful relationship patterns, or carry a quiet sense that you're somehow not good enough. You might spend your time looking after everyone else while hiding how difficult life feels on the inside. You may not even know exactly what's wrong. You simply know that life feels harder than it should.
Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.
I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel genuinely heard, and explore whatever matters most to you. Therapy isn't about fixing you—because I don't believe you're broken. It's about creating the safety to understand yourself more deeply and discover new ways of relating to yourself and to others.
About Me
Experienced Online Psychotherapist in Cornwall & Nationwide
I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist with over 30 years of clinical experience across healthcare, nursing, and psychotherapy. Before establishing my private practice as an online psychotherapist, I worked for many years as professional nurse in South Africa and the UK. This extensive medical and community background gives me a broad, holistic understanding of the deep relationship between physical health and emotional wellbeing.
While my home and practice are based in Cornwall, I work exclusively as an online psychotherapist UK-wide.
Alongside my private practice, I provide clinical supervision for trainee and qualified counsellors and contribute to counsellor education as a Visiting Lecturer at the Cornwall Counselling Institute

My Approach
Classical Person-Centred Therapy Online
My approach is Person-Centred, and I work within the classical tradition of Person-Centred psychotherapy. This means I don't diagnose, analyse or tell you what you should do, and I don't use techniques or structured exercises. Instead, I offer a genuine, accepting and empathic relationship in which we can explore whatever feels important to you, at your own pace. I trust that, given the right kind of therapeutic relationship, you have within you the capacity to find your own way forward.
Together, we may gently explore how past experiences, key relationships, and long-established patterns continue to influence your life today. Difficulties that seem confusing or overwhelming often begin to make sense when viewed in the context of your unique story.
Many people seek person-centred therapy believing there is something inherently wrong with them. Over time, clients discover that what they have been carrying is not a personal failing, but the understandable impact of painful experiences, loss, or difficult circumstances. As understanding grows, so too can self-compassion, resilience, and the confidence to live more authentically.
When Shame Shapes Our Lives
Dedicated Online Therapy
Many people seeking an online psychotherapist arrive because of anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or low self-esteem. As sessions unfold, they often discover that beneath these struggles lies a deeper feeling of shame—a painful belief that they are somehow not good enough, unworthy, or fundamentally flawed.
Shame usually develops through difficult life experiences rather than personal weakness. It can leave us constantly questioning ourselves, fearing rejection, hiding our true feelings, or believing we must earn acceptance through people-pleasing or perfectionism.
Through person-centred therapy, we cannot erase the past, but we can help loosen shame's grip. Within a safe and accepting online space, you can begin to relate to yourself with greater kindness, understanding, and freedom.
