Who I provide counselling sessions for.
Special interest - working with fathers
I hold a special interest in working with dads - providing one to one counselling and group support for fathers. It isn’t that long ago (OK - it was a few years ago now!) that I was a new dad myself, and as life has moved on since then I have experienced (and continue to experience) the 'rollercoaster' of parenting - rich in its complexities! In many ways the life changing experience of becoming a dad is one met with little support and the challenging experiences that new fathers go through, alongside their partners, and then continued as children grow up are often given little consideration. I value being a part of a movement to support men who transition into fatherhood, and do their best to stay present and available for their children.
Dad's Support Group
I offer free Dad’s Support Groups here in Hayle fortnightly on Mondays.
This is a calm, down-to-earth space for Dad's (and any male care-giver) to slow down, check in with themselves, and spend time with other dads who understand.
Also of interest - working with adults
In a more general sense within my private counselling practice, as well as working with fathers, I work with adults from a variety of walks of life who are often looking to explore aspects of their experiences that they find challenging. This can be anything from relationship difficulties with family, friends and work colleagues; issues surrounding gender, identity and sexual orientation; religion, spirituality, or other 'existential' matters; to financial worries and the burdens associated with living in a fast paced, often haste ridden and superficial world.
I also work with adults who aren’t necessarily 'challenged' by life, but value the experience of the counsellor – client relationship in their self-reflective journey through life. Counselling isn’t always about working through difficult times.
