Persephone Moir

I am currently taking on new clients in person and online.

I work Monday-Saturday, various hours including some evenings.

Based in Cornwall I have a beautiful therapeutic room on Bodmin Moor to see you in person. I also offer online video counselling as well as phone and chat/email for people more comfortable with non verbal communication.

Sessions are for 1 hour, I offer reduced rates for those on low income.

As a trauma therapist I work gently with compassion and understanding.

Trauma isn't always clear, doesn't make sense or play by normal rules or standards. It is personal to you, your experiences, what you did to survive and the meaning you attached to these experiences and behaviours.

The frustration, self hatred, guilt and shame attached to trauma can be debilitating.

The counselling I offer looks to alleviate these feelings of guilt and shame, appropriately timeline the experience so you can start living, relating, responding and feeling in the now, not stuck in the past.

Sometimes it is helpful to name and explore experiences, sometimes we never look directly at them, this is dependent on you and your needs.

Integration of different therapeutic approaches enables us to find the most helpful and available process for you, this could be talking, creative, somatic, journaling. There isn't one right way.

Your needs are of upmost importance, when working with me this is modelled and experienced as part of the healing process.

Before booking we can have a phone call to establish if I feel like a good fit for you. Then the first session is focussed on establishing need, expectations and boundaries. Often there is an element of story telling in the first session. It might feel a little strange as I am still a stranger at this point. Showing up the first time is always the hardest step.
