Learning to thrive in our crazy world is the work for all of us today, you can join # one million mothers @ peace. We have created a supportive community and work across Wales and UK, running Cariad Well-being days and residential retreats.

With previous experience as a registered foster carer, mother and baby placements, I offer a compassionate safe space to explore family issues.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Further information
I attend regular CPD (continuing professional development) days; these add a variety of skills to my tool kit of support. With EFT (emotional freedom technique) and matrix reimprinting.
Mothers and bonding is my passion and if you feel love is lacking and close connections, having issues in relationships and family dynamics, my gentle way of working is ideal.
Movement matters and as an ecstatic dance teacher, I am very aware of how our body contains all of our stuck energy so if it is appropriate we will move and shake together!
