The Team | My Space Counselling

Trainee and Qualified Counsellors

To support demand, when I am at full capacity, My Space Counselling manages a referral pathway of trainee counsellors and qualified counsellors. This is a group of like-minded counsellors based across Cornwall and the UK.

Trainee Counsellors

By providing trainee counsellor placements My Space Counselling is able to offer some reduced cost sessions in Truro. The spaces for low cost counselling are limited but if this is something that you are interested in please contact for further information.

If you are a trainee counsellor in Cornwall seeking a training placement then please email for further information.

The Team

When I am at full capacity I am able to offer clients a referral pathway to counsellors within the team that I supervise and support. I will offer clients an initial call to get an overview of needs to enable me to suggest counsellors within my team and share their profiles and experience with you. With your permission I will then share your contact details with the counsellor to enable them to make contact and set up a session with yourself. The team is made up of like minded people, who also have a passion for wellbeing and promoting individuality and values of self worth.

If you are a qualified Counsellor in Cornwall seeking regular referral pathways then please email for more information. This role is suitable for like -minded, committed, self- employed counsellors either experienced or seeking more experience/ CPD in CYP or Trauma work or a newly qualified counsellor seeking to increase their hours of practice through self-employment. Please note, you will need to have regular supervision with myself to become part of this opportunity.
