Counsellor & NLP Coach
Hello and Welcome
Understanding ourselves with curiosity and compassion can create space for meaningful change.
Life can bring experiences that are difficult to understand or manage alone. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you are living through loss or change, experiencing difficulties in a relationship, or recognising that something no longer feels sustainable.
I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where individuals and couples can slow things down, explore what is happening and begin to understand themselves and their relationships more deeply.
I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor with more than 20 years’ experience across private practice, higher education, mental health and community settings.
My approach is person-centred and integrative. This means that our work is shaped around you rather than expecting you to fit a particular method. I draw on trauma-aware and somatic approaches, cognitive hypnotherapy and mindfulness, while placing the therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work.
I do not see feelings as problems that need to be removed. They all have their place. Counselling offers an opportunity to become curious about your thoughts, feelings and patterns, connect with what they may be communicating, and find responses that feel more conscious and meaningful.
Alongside counselling, I offer reflective and ethically grounded clinical supervision for counsellors and trainees. Supervision provides space to explore client work, professional development and the personal impact of therapeutic practice.
I work with individuals and couples online across the UK and offer in-person appointments in Truro and London. Telephone sessions are also available.
Taking the first step can feel uncertain, so I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation. This gives us an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to counselling or supervision, ask any questions and consider whether working together feels right.
A limited number of reduced-fee appointments may be available. You are welcome to ask about these when you contact me.
Peace always,
Irène

How can I help?
Counselling is a wonderful way to get the support and guidance you need when facing life's challenges.
It involves talking with a trained professional who listens, understands, and helps you navigate your thoughts and feelings. Think of it as having a safe, confidential space where you can open up about anything on your mind without fear of judgment.
Here are some key reasons why I believe counselling can be hugely beneficial to anyone.
Confidential and Safe Space:
Everything you share stays private (within the confidentiality agreement), so you can be completely honest and true to yourself.
Understanding and Empathy:
As a counsellor I am listening with empathy and understanding to my clients and provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment.
Mental Health Benefits:
Counselling can be a big help in managing mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. It can help you feel more balanced and in control.
Self-Discovery:
Working with me is an opportunity for my clients to learn more about themselves. Through the counselling process, clients can gain new insights into thoughts and behaviours and therefore grow as a person in the way that suits them.
Improved Relationships:
By working on communication and understanding, counselling can help you build better, healthier relationships with yourself and others.
Coping Skills:
My clients learn practical strategies for dealing with stress, grief, or any tough situations life throws at them by finding the right way forward for them.
Decision-Making Support:
Whether you're facing big life decisions or just trying to figure out the next steps, I will aim to support you in getting clear thoughts and make choices that feel right for you.
In short, counselling is not just for when things go wrong; it's also great for personal development and enhancing your overall well-being. Whether you're in a crisis or just looking to grow, counselling can provide valuable tools and insights to improve your quality of life.
Feel free to contact me for a free phone consultation.
It's a great way to ask questions, share a bit about what you're going through, and see how I can support you on your journey.
Supervision
Supervision in my view is a collaborative and supportive partnership, providing a safe and regular space to reflect on and enhance your professional journey.
Together, we will explore your work, focusing on your growth as a therapist and the therapeutic relationships you build with your clients.
Our sessions will centre on your development as a counsellor and offer you a space to deepen your understanding and skills. The relationship we cultivate will be grounded in mutual respect and openness, fostering an inclusive environment where all perspectives are valued.
Supervision is a crucial element of clinical development and a key influence on both personal and professional growth. It's invaluable not just at the beginning of your career but throughout your journey as a psychotherapist.
As an integrative supervisor, I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, blending elements from different modalities to suit your unique style and needs. This approach allows us to address various aspects of your work, from specific clinical techniques to broader professional challenges.
Integrative supervision focuses on fostering a well-rounded development, helping you to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical skills, and encouraging a reflective practice that enhances your effectiveness with clients.
I'm excited about the possibility of working together and supporting you on your professional path.

It's a great way to ask questions, discuss how we might work together and explore expectations and requirements before arranging the first appointment.
