In Person Counselling in Penzance

Hi, I hope your search for a therapist is going well. It can be a difficult process, but it is important to find a therapist who feels right for you. The relationship with your therapist is, on average, more helpful than their training and experience. Person-centred therapy is a relationship. It is not dependent on medical diagnoses, yet can help with all conditions. It is as effective as other leading therapies, but uniquely it puts the client at the centre of the process. There is no 'you should do this'. The questions, and the answers, will come from within during our conversations.

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.

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'm Louise and I’m a qualified person-centred counsellor, and a registered member of the BACP. I work in a non-judgemental, warm mannered and confidential way, where we can safely explore the issues that are negatively impacting your well-being, because sometimes our problems can feel too much and too difficult to manage by ourselves. I am here to listen. Counselling can provide you with the space and time to explore how you fit in the world and help you to gain clarity, acceptance and authenticity.

I can be of help with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and work and motivational problems. I believe that each of the people who comes to see me is a person, and not a case, and needs to be treated sympathetically and individually.

Sometimes life can feel a little overwhelming. Dealing with conflict at work or how you feel about yourself maybe how you treat yourself. Or maybe you would like to be more assertive, to be able to respect who you are and what you do. Or maybe you have lost someone or something you loved. You may feel you are out of control, or you may be being abused. Are you forever going over conversations or awkward moments thinking what if, what do others think of me.

I have worked with and supported individuals with a range of complex mental health difficulties for over twenty years, initially as a nurse and now as a qualified CBT therapist . Many of my clients have needed an alternative way to view their situation to 'free' them from the distress they have been experiencing, along with a tailored tool box of coping strategies which they can choose from to empower them to manage the challenging experience. I have helped adolescent & adults experiencing OCD, PTSD, psychosis and/or complex emotional/relational difficulties, where the intervention required has been stress/anxiety targeted.
