Elfie Carson

I am currently taking on new clients and have available sessions from September 2025.

I am available during usual working hours. I also have some flexibility for early evening sessions or online sessions. 

My name is Elfie and I am a person-centred counsellor, which means that our work together is led by you and whatever your needs are. 

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in education for over 20 years, as an English teacher, Early Years Teacher, Forest School and outdoor workshop leader. I have extensive experience working in nature and with young people, parents and people with SEND. 

My therapy experience has involved working with people with health-related trauma, long-term health conditions and chronic pain in the NHS. I have also worked in organisations supporting survivors of domestic abuse and in residential locations supporting people with long-term mental health issues. I have worked with a wide range of clients, including carers, students and young people, neurodiverse people, survivors of sexual and physical assault and parents or partners of those who have been abused. 

I work out of a studio near Falmouth, which has parking and is wheelchair accessible.

I also offer walking therapy sessions, online and telephone sessions. 

All sessions are 1 hour. 

I offer a free introductory session online or on the phone of up to 30 minutes. 

In this session we usually discuss the kind of work you want to do, what our sessions might look like, where they will take place and other practicalities. It is an opportunity for us both to get to know each other: there is no obligation to have a set number of sessions, we can just see what feels right.
