Kate Binnie

 

I’m a Person-Centred Counsellor offering face to face sessions to adults at Penzance Natural Health Centre.  I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and life transitions. 
In the 6 years that I have had the privilege of working for CRASAC (Cornwall Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre) and CLEAR (trauma therapy), I have gained particular experience of working with trauma/complex PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).  This has given me insight and understanding of issues such as nervous system/emotional dysregulation, depression, anxiety, dissociation, suicidality, anger, shame, panic attacks, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts and trust/relationship issues.
I offer warmth, empathy and a non-judgmental space in which to explore whatever you need to.  I draw on a range of tools and strategies from my training and experience to support you in making the changes you are seeking.  I hope to invite you into closer connection with yourself so that you can gain greater insight into your limiting patterns and habitual responses to life.  From here, I aim to support you into a more compassionate and accepting relationship with yourself and a gentle exploration of new possibilities for responding so that you may begin living a more fulfilling life.
I would love to hear from you if you think you would like to work with me.  Please get in touch by phone or email.  I am happy to have a brief phone conversation to discuss any questions you may have.  In the first instance, I offer an initial session.  This is a chance for you to meet me and get a sense of how I work, and for me to hear about the issues that you are looking for support with.  If the fit feels right, you are welcome to book further sessions. 
Fees:
Initial session (1 hour) - £25
Subsequent sessions (1 hour) - £50
