Counselling and Therapy in Falmouth, Truro, Cornwall

Therapy services in Cornwall

Hi, I am Monika, and welcome to The Lighthouse Counselling. My practice is based in Falmouth, Cornwall, serving Truro and is accessible online. My practice focuses on a trauma-informed and Relational approach. I provide an honest, robust and collaborative space for healing and growth.

Whether you are seeking Individual Counselling or Relationship Counselling to strengthen relationship dynamics, I aim to guide you to gain awareness and assertiveness. I am ADHD Informed, offering support to help clients embrace their unique potential. I also provide Clinical Supervision for both qualified and trainee counsellors. I am committed to working with Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity.

A little bit about me and my practice

My journey as a Counsellor and Supervisor is informed by over a decade of experience supporting adults, individuals, and couples from diverse backgrounds. Rooted in a robust and collaborative Relational approach, my work explores how past experiences, particularly unmet childhood needs, resurface and affect your present life. My dedication is strengthened by personal experience navigating trauma and Narcissistic abuse, bringing profound empathy to the therapeutic space. Counselling is a process focused on the person; it is your autonomy that is embraced and validated.

I am Trauma and Attachment-Informed, offering support for relationship issues, loss, self-esteem, family estrangement, family dynamics and communication issues.  I have a significant focus on being ADHD informed, offering both counselling and coaching.

My work is to integrate what I observe in the room with the client’s history, culture, relationships, and lived environment, holding the space rather than rushing to provide answers. Therapy is a human co-regulation, which includes attunement and trust, and these are central mechanisms of change. As your therapist, I respond not only to words, but to tone, pauses, body language, and emotional shifts.

I hold an MNCPS Accr. (NCS14-00714) I am a Professional Standards Authority-registered member. 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.

Why choose me?

Choosing the right counsellor is the most crucial step towards your well-being.

With over ten years of experience and an Integrative Relational, Trauma-Informed, and Psychoanalytic approach, I tailor therapy to the individual, offering a space that is both robust and deeply attuned. I offer truly dedicated support. My practice is Integrative, drawing on various modalities to tailor support to your unique needs, whether you are seeking Individual, Couple, or ADHD Affirming counselling. I recognise and support your autonomy, working at your pace.

I believe in human connection, helping you in learning, healing, growing, and keeping you engaged. In the safety of the counselling room, together we can share honest conversations about difficult subjects, seeking to understand and clarify the issues you are seeking to address.  My own life experience is what offers me a deeper understanding.

Based in Cornwall, I also offer the convenience of Online Counselling, meaning you can access expert support from anywhere in the UK. This flexibility ensures continuity and comfort. By choosing me, you are opting for a robust, honest, and collaborative space. I provide thoughtful, dedicated support tailored to your unique needs, a committed professional who is invested in empowering you towards profound self-awareness and lasting, positive change.

It takes courage to consider counselling. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, that powerful “leap” to seek support is your first step towards hope and healing.

A consultation is a no-obligation first step to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit. It’s a chance to ask questions and explore how counselling can help you.
