Counselling Truro
About me : Lorraine
I am a Psycho-therapeutic counsellor; Dip Counsel, MBACP, MNCS Acc.
I'm also an Senior Audiologist and Sound Practitioner through BAST.
My skills mix together and transfer across to counselling making me Integrated and grounded in the Person centred approach. My way of working is unique; tailored by using different tools and approaches to suit you and your needs, My approach is about being flexible, adaptable which often sets me apart from other counsellors.
Why access counselling?
Often this is a personal and individual process, everyone is unique but I can support you through difficult life events, relationship problems, upsetting or traumatic events and strong emotions like grief, guilt, sadness, confusion, anger or low self-esteem. I tend to work with bereavement mostly but can work along side with our lack of wellbeing or happiness, loneliness, depression, anxiety or other mental health or long term physical health problems.
Important stuff
You need to find the right person with whom you can start to trust and build a therapeutic relationship. Lamberts Pie research highlighted success of any talking therapy often is not the type of therapy but the therapist and how likely you are to trust the person you work with. This is 'the therapeutic relationship', forming an alliance of working together and being able to take risks to start opening and sharing our deepest feelings and emotions when the time feels right. (Maybe I am that person for you).
Who do I work with?
Happy to see people from all stages of counselling. Individuals, those with no experience of counselling or who might be newly training or searching for a different type of therapy or counsellor.
My aim is to help you make the most of your counselling journey and for you to have a positive experience.
The Person Centred Approach
My work is based on core conditions and provides an environment of warmth and safety, free from threat, judgement or criticism. I offer an honest compassionate space to actively help you make sense of the world, your world. I work with bereavements, the adversity in life, the sudden or unexpected, distress and outpouring of strong emotions. This can be from a multitude of places such as bereavement, grief and loss, unexpected life transitions and more recently baby loss and working with people diagnosed cancer.
Why choose me?
My ability to communicate and listen even to the hard stuff. Its about the whole person, being in tune, having a holistic outlook, being creative and treating each client individually.
Please contact me if you have a sense we can work together. I am now able to take on more clients on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays but certain we can find a time that suits you.
On enquiry please tell me a little about yourself, what you are looking for in counselling, your availability and the best way I can contact you.
Please be aware I no longer offer introductory 20 minutes telephone conversation or any free trial sessions instead due to my busy schedule and experience prefer to book straight into a paid counselling sessions. This way we have the opportunity to talk and ask questions, Afterwards you can ask yourself how it felt talking to me and if you feel I am someone you are able to work with.
To book these sessions a completed intake form is needed, which I will email across before hand.
Payment is required on the day of the appointment and I will include my details plus my DNA & Cancellation policy in advance.
Online therapy
I offer a blended approach when it comes to counselling especially for those people who find it problematic in any way to access appointments face-to-face. Online working is the natural transition from being present in the room together.Telephone counselling gives richer opportunities to hone skills to truly hear the story and feel the other person without seeing the person. Some people find telephone counselling less exposing but both are as rich as the other. This is why I offer both as part of my counselling to clients.
Statement concerning the coronavirus pandemic
Face-to-face working since January 2023 and re-vaccinated recently (January 2024).
I'm happy to wear masks if this is your preference as I want you to comfortable and open to what feels right for you.
