My Therapy Space
Located close to Bude, Holsworthy and Launceston
My counselling practise is set in a peaceful country location, surrounded by lush green farming fields and the calming sounds of nature. Nestled away from the hustle bustle of daily life, it offers a serene, private space where you can truly feel at ease. The only sounds are chirping birds and the occasional tractor, providing the perfect backdrop for self-reflection healing and growth.
​
With multiple spaces to work in and the opportunity to walk around my property of two acres, Semersdon Counselling is the perfect place to seek a moment of peace or work through difficult emotions. The quiet natural environment helps promote relaxation and openness, allowing you to feel grounded and supported as we work together on your journey.
You can choose how you work; I have experience in many creative interventions as well as traditional talk therapy.
Gestalt with Creative Interventions
When working with children, Gestalt therapy adapts to their unique way of expressing themselves. It focuses on helping them become more aware of their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in a safe and supportive environment. Since children often express themselves through play, art, or movement, the therapist may use creative activities like drawing, games, or role-playing to help them explore their emotions and experiences. This approach encourages children to stay in the present moment and express what they're feeling without judgment.
​
For a child, Gestalt therapy can help them understand and manage difficult emotions, like anger or anxiety, by allowing them to explore their feelings in a way that feels natural and comfortable. The therapist creates a space where the child can feel seen and heard, guiding them to develop greater self-awareness and build healthier ways of coping with challenges. The goal is to help the child develop confidence in themselves and their ability to handle their emotions, fostering personal growth and a stronger connection to their feelings and the world around them.
