Welcome to Persephone Therapies.
You may have been here for a while, or just found me so I thought I would introduce myself and explain the changes you may be noticing!

As my focus has moved on from massage to counselling I have finally decided to say goodbye to Massage on the Moors. I have slowly wound down this side of my business and am no longer taking on new body work clients.

Persephone therapies is now 100% a counselling service. I am working both online and in person. I have a beautiful therapeutic space for clients to come to, out on the moors, simply arriving feels like you have entered a new space of healing.

When you follow this page you will be the first to see new blogs, special offers as well as useful resources to help you with mental health, wellbeing, confidence and self compassion.

The best way to contact me is via Whatsapp on 07941 511819 or email persephonetherapies@gmail.com

To sit with the discomfort of viewing racism in the abstract is a privilege of white people. To be shocked at violent racism is a privilege of white people. Black and Brown people live with this reality every day of their lives. Britain is a racist country, even if you personally are not racist. Don't be shocked when it all blows up. Racists look like you and me, how do we tell them apart? Don't be fooled into thinking that racists look like or sound like the 'thugs' being portrayed by the media. This is insidious and is woven into the systems meant to protect everyone.

The level of hatred and vitriol that I am seeing is disgusting. But don't think that just because it bubbles down it isn't there. The turn around in the media today is disturbing, and feels like it is trying to soothe the white middle classes made uncomfortable by this display of aggression. Nothing has changed.

Ask yourself where your discomfort is, how easily you are soothed by the changing narrative. Because for those actually impacted nothing has changed. Yet.

Be the change.

This country is crumbling, the false catalyst for this violence, misinformation about an absolute tragedy feels to me that it could only be a catalyst if the embers were already there.

You can read the full blog on my website, link is in my bio.

I have to end this post with a thought for those families who have tragically lost precious babies. Because this has been lost because of anger and hatred. Too many babies are being killed, being killed in what should be safe places, being killed fleeing unsafe places in boats that sink, being killed in warfare, being killed by genocide.

My heart breaks for every one of them. We need more love, more compassion in this world.

New blog post!

I love writing, it is something I do a lot with clients. When we can observe our thinking we can gain better understanding of ourselves, our process, gaining clarity and in time compassion.

Do you journal?

Person centred counselling in Cornwall

You will start hearing from me a bit more. Having been absent from social media for a while it honestly feels a little daunting and vulnerable!

I have been working incredibly hard these past 3 years on becoming a qualified counsellor! I am just about there now. It is exciting and scary as feel like I am climbing a big mountain (or let's face it, flight of stairs with my knees!) Starting again, building a business, finding my voice and reaching my people.

So this is me saying hi 👋 dipping my toe in the water!

Blogs will start again, and some interesting offerings, so please watch this space 💜

One seriously indulged kitten!

Another young life stolen. She was 28, she was walking home. What is this world coming to 💔

Where does our responsibility as a society come into play here? Again and again we see stories of mindless violence against women, yet the media coverage of this murder of a young South Asian woman is notably less than other more high profile cases. How do you feel about that? What does this tell us about the value of life in this country.

It is all too easy for me to sit in my house in the countryside and pretend like I don't see it, I worked hard to drag myself out of South London but not everyone can do that, in fact they shouldn't have to leave their home to feel and be safe.

Just because you feel safe don't ignore the fact that this is a privilege of the few, not the majority, there are different levels of safety, they are all personal and relevant to lived experience, and as a collective it is time for us to stop, listen, look and make the necessary changes so that everyone, no matter of race, gender, sexuality or age can walk home without fear of violence.

My heart goes out to her family, her friends, all those whose lives were touched by her.

My witches companion decided she had finally had enough of her flesh body and has gone to cause havoc with the other souls 💔

She truly tested her 9 lives theory right from the start, the tiniest kitten survived major leg surgery, unplanned adventures in oil, she saw off many a large dog while out walking with us on the moors. She stood guard over me whilst I birthed my son in the living room, and was the unpopular matriarch to the other cats.

In her maiden stage she was the biggest tart! Any men who visited she was all over, until she stepped firmly into crone, she decided all men were pointless, tolerated a chosen few, seemed to enjoy freaking people out by silent meowing whilst giving you a weird misty eyed stare, proper horror film stuff!

Titch your body turned you to a stinky bumhead by the end, although if I could give you one more bath, and wipe your crusty face for you one more time I would happily do so 💔🐈‍⬛ Cos no matter how crusty and grumpy you became, I still love you.

I know that you are in a better place now, that poor body of yours had really had enough, enjoy chasing rabbits and climbing trees like a total lunatic again.

But today I am sad. My flesh and bones body feels the loss, yet I get great comfort knowing and feeling that pure energy where we all connect you are still with us.

I share this not for sympathy, really, don't be nice to me today, you will just set me off crying again, but to honour my own feelings, I don't do vulnerability very well, yet I am leaning to step into all the feelings, honouring myself, and my lovely companion for the last 19 years 🖤🐈‍⬛

He did it! 2.5k in 1.5 hours 💖

He may have nearly thrown up at length 83, but he kept on going, daily inspo from my kids!

He even had the energy for a celebratory slide down the water shute! Yummy treats afterwards too.
new_account your mum is super proud of you 💖
