My name is Ysella (also known as Izzey), Cornish born and raised. I love the sun on my skin, the sound of birdsong, citrus flavours, gardening, walks with my dog and being outdoors in all seasons.

I have counselling experience with students of Callywith College and Cornwall College, as well as Pegasus Men’s Well-being Centre CIC covering wide breadth of subjects and challenges.

I am also a host for Sowena Cornwall CIC offering group sessions and workshops to support their wonderful retreat days and wellness journeys.

I volunteer for Penhaligon’s Friends (a local Cornish children’s bereavement charity), and co-facilitate a support group for Georgia’s Voice - Preventing suicide in young women aged 18-25 in Cornwall.

I continue to work in the outdoors with over a decade’s experience in variety of roles including a Forest School leader, conservationist, volunteer and funding coordinator, and mentor.
