Counselling and Therapy in Falmouth, Penryn, Cornwall
Therapy services in Cornwall
Hi, I am Monika, and welcome to The Lighthouse Counselling. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed, relational counselling in Falmouth, Cornwall, and online.
I work with adults, both individually and as couples, providing a space to explore personal challenges, relationships and emotional wellbeing.
My work is specifically centred on adult clients, and I do not work with children or young people.
My approach is grounded in empathy; I work collaboratively to explore trauma and difficult life challenges. I am ADHD-informed, drawing on lived experience and professional training. Together, we focus on what actually helps you, celebrating your strengths while gently navigating the challenges.
Whether you are seeking Individual Counselling or Relationship Counselling, I aim to help you build awareness and assertiveness. I offer ADHD-informed counselling to help clients embrace their unique potential. I also provide Clinical Supervision for qualified and trainee counsellors. I am committed to working with Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity.
A little bit about me and my practice
Over the past decade of experience, I have worked with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds. My work is grounded in a collaborative approach; I explore how past experiences, particularly unmet childhood needs, can affect your present life. My dedication is informed by personal experience of trauma and Narcissistic abuse, bringing empathy to the therapeutic space and helping clients to be seen and understood. Counselling is a person-centred process; it is your autonomy that is embraced and validated.
I am Trauma and Attachment-Informed, offering support for relationship issues, loss and self-esteem. I also support clients with family dynamics and communication difficulties. I specialise in ADHD informed and affirming counselling and coaching. My work is specifically centred on adult clients, and I do not work with children or young people.
My work integrates what I observe in the room with the client’s history, culture, relationships, and lived experience; I hold the space rather than rushing to provide answers. Therapy is a process of human co-regulation, which includes attunement and trust. As your therapist, I respond not only to your words, but to tone, pauses, body language, and emotional shifts.
I am a Registered Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society MNCPS Accr. (NCS14-00714) which means I work within a clear ethical framework and am committed to ongoing professional development. I hold an enhanced DBS and I am ICO registered. My qualifications include Adv.Dip.Psych. Counselling and Adv.Dip. Couple Therapy NCPS Accr. I also provide Clinical Supervision. I welcome Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity in all my services.
