I offer face-to-face sessions in Falmouth and Pool near Redruth, as well as online or telephone appointments, making it easier to access support in a way that suits you. I also consider home visits on an individual basis, so please feel free to get in touch if this is something you\u2019d like to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve lived in Cornwall for almost all my life and feel lucky to have my grown-up children and their families nearby. When I\u2019m not working, I enjoy gardening especially growing vegetables to cook and eat practising Pilates, and spending time with my family and friends. I like to think of myself as down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and above all, a good listener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Approach to Counselling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I use the person-centred approach, which means I believe that with the right support, everyone has the ability to find their own way to a more fulfilling life. My role is to provide a safe, confidential space where you can speak openly, knowing that I am here to listen without judgement and to support you as you work through life\u2019s challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and follow their ethical framework to ensure my practice is safe and professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How I Can Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I work with a wide range of life challenges, from feelings of general dissatisfaction and relationship issues to addiction and mental health concerns. People often come to me when experiencing anxiety, depression, confusion, resentment, loneliness, anger, frustration, or fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Choose Counselling?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout my life, I\u2019ve worked in many different roles, meeting people from all walks of life. This has shown me that, at times, we all need a little lift to help us get through. Counselling can make a real difference by providing the support and space to explore your thoughts and feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re considering counselling or simply want to find out more, please feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/roselandcounselling.co.uk\/?page_id=43\">contact me<\/a>. I\u2019m here to help you take the first step towards feeling more at ease and in control of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/roselandcounselling.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_6568-768x1024-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-255\" style=\"width:476px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roselandcounselling.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_6568-768x1024-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roselandcounselling.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_6568-768x1024-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/roselandcounselling.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_6568-768x1024-2-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, I\u2019m Jan, a qualified counsellor.
