I specialise in resolving negative emotional issues at the root cause, childhood trauma, emotional and nervous system dysregulation symptoms such as depression, anxiety, anger etc.

I offer one to one hourly sessions and more intensive deep dive sessions.  I also offer boxing classes at beginners level for women and one to one boxing coaching for all genders.

It is my passion and hope to provide a safe, caring and healing space in which all ages are welcome to spend time, releasing held negative energies and beliefs, stored in the body, leading to poor health  and low mental and emotional states. Getting to the root cause of problems, anxieties and worries, I work in a gentle, calm and client-focussed way. I use NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), hypnosis, trauma-informed techniques, alongside practices informed by music, art and play therapy. My specialism in children and families, alongside my own lived experience as an educator, and parent of two children/teens, gives me a unique perspective, in supporting parents, caregivers, teaching staff, and our most important future assets: our children, and our own inner children!!

I have spent most of my life working in the education sector in one form or another. I was a Primary school teacher for nearly 20 years, including some time out for having my own two children. I have a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, from Bath Spa University, and later I taught there, as a lecturer and tutor on the Education degree course. I have also tutored children of primary and secondary school ages, in after-school support clubs. I am a trained Forest School Leader and was fortunate enough to visit the Danish Forest Kindergartens during my Master's Degree, confirming my love of nature as a healer and educator. I am a qualified Trauma-Informed Schools mental health practitioner, and this training literally turned around not only my own teaching practice, but my whole outlook on life: every behaviour is communication! More recently, I worked with the NHS (Cornwall Partnership Trust) as an Educational Mental Health practitioner, working in primary schools with children on a referral basis.

My experiences both in the workplace, and life in general have led me to this place of compassion and concern for our young people, as they navigate today’s world. The global Covid pandemic brought a rush of ‘survival’ instincts to the fore, and working in Early Years classes throughout this time, showed me that children as young as four have been very much affected by this trauma, and it is now seen in their daily interactions; there is an increase in trauma held in the body, showing up in the form of speech and language development delays, anxiety, depression, insomnia and behavioural and social difficulties. Sadly, the global pandemic is now one of mental health and emotional wellbeing needs.

Furthermore, as a teacher and educator for so many years, I have witnessed and experienced burn-out and high levels of anxiety that these roles can contribute and cause. I was there myself: a burn-out teacher at 42. During my teaching career, I had suffered intestinal diseases, migraines and sickness bugs, developed chronic fatigue syndrome, been increasingly at the mercy of dreadful panic attacks and anxiety.

Equally, the role of parent and caregiver is one without any rulebook, a world which is full of well-meaning advice, but one which can be incredibly lonely, especially if you are caring for a child or young person who is suffering from mental health issues, traumas, stress or grief. I have two teens of my own, and we have all lived through the loss of their grandparents, relationship break-ups, COVID, friendship breakdowns and the storms of life in general.  I am a fully trained facilitator of SPACE (Supporting Parents and Children Emotionally) sessions.

I am a talking therapist for children, adolescents and adults, specialising in neurodiversity.

I offer a safe, caring and confidential space where you can be your whole self and express your true thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.

This approach to therapy puts you in the driving seat because you are the expert of you.

Everyone is unique and as such I will meet you with an open heart and mind.

This kind of counselling works well for those who are;

• Feeling stuck

• Not feeling heard or validated

• In need of healthy boundaries

• Disconnected or isolated

• Struggling with relationships

• Wanting to feel more confident

• Anxious and depressed

• Holding on to anger

• Unsure of which way to turn

• Ready for change

I have extensive training and knowledge of neurodiversity, including but not limited to autism spectrum condition (ASC) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

I have experience working with depression, anxiety, anger, intrusive thoughts, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, childhood trauma, racial diversity, disability, domestic abuse, communication barriers and gender diversity.

Would you like to receive support from someone who can relate to what you're going through? Having previously suffered from symptoms of depression and trauma for over 20 years. I know first hand that you can't just snap out of it and the devastating impact it can have on every area of your life.

My name is Donna and I have 20 years experience working with private clients. I opened Newquay Therapy Centre ten years ago and during that time  I have helped 1000's of individuals overcome a wide range of challenges and emotional issues. I also teach practitioners, so I hold a wealth of knowledge around mental and emotional health, trauma, depression, overwhelm and dis-empowerment. I have gone very deep into what causes these things at the root and developed therapeutic approaches, programmes and courses to help others understand the cause of why they experience these challenges and struggles.

My therapeutic approach is very gentle and I will start by creating a safe space and help you understand depression or trauma in a way that you may not have had it explained to you before.

When I work with you, we will be looking at clearing symptoms at root cause level, meaning that you can begin to rebuild your life without having to carry the weight of unprocessed emotion and overwhelm.

I will also equip you with a number of tools that will help you manage your own stress levels moving forward so that you can manage stress and develop healthy patterns which is really important to prevent relapse.

I have a big bag of tools and practice a number of different modalities, including talking therapy, coaching, NLP, energy psychology, hypnotherapy and ASM.

The sessions will include talking and exploring your issues as well as cutting edge techniques designed to move or process out the energy or the emotions that are keeping you stuck.

During our first session we will explore and discuss what tools or therapeutic interventions will be most suitable to help you with your specific needs and I can answer any questions for you around how this will work.

I have a very successful track record of treating emotional issues and we can make huge shifts in as little as six sessions.

We can start with a 10 minute telephone conversation so that I can answer any questions you may have. Please message me using the contact form and requesting Donna or text CHAT to 07440057946. - I will then get back to you to arrange a suitable time.

Therapist Support

As mentioned above I have been training practitioners in a range of modalities for over 8 years.

I feel very strongly that therapists also need support. When we take on this type of work we  hold a lot of responsibility for other people and it is extremely important not to neglect our own mental and emotional health.

I offer a number of services to support therapists from something as simple as monthly check-in sessions to full therapeutic support programs. Please reach out if you'd like to discuss how I can support you with your emotional health.

Improving therapeutic practice

I also support therapists to re-design their therapy practice, including creating new programs, courses, classes and so much more.

I share my 20 years experience to help therapists and facilitators improve their practice and create exciting new offerings.

I encourage therapists to invest some of their energy back into themselves and in doing so everybody that they support will also benefit.

I offer a 25 minute telephone chat to facilitators and therapists to explore how I can help support your practice or offerings. Use the contact form and request Donna or text SUPPORT to 07440057946 - I will get back to you and arrange a suitable time.
