About me
Hello! My name is Afrodite. A warm welcome to my page.
I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor (BA Hons), a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and a certified EFT Practitioner offering Emotional Freedom Techniques alongside my integrative approach.
Individual Therapy
Therapy is not about becoming a different person, it is about becoming more you. When life feels heavy or confusing, therapy can support you to create room to slow down and explore what is happening.
I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgmental space where you can speak freely, feel heard and explore your inner world at your own pace. I work collaboratively, drawing on a range of therapeutic theories to support you.
My approach is relational, integrative and trauma-informed, shaped by my own lived experiences and years of supporting individuals across different organisations.
I welcome clients from all backgrounds, cultures and identities.
Couples Therapy
If you are finding it hard to stay connected as a couple, or you feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating, couples therapy can offer a steady space to support you to understand what is happening between you.
When communication breaks down or emotions feel too big, it becomes hard to see each other clearly. Together, we can explore the patterns that keep conversations stuck, and the feelings underneath. You can find ways to step out of the cycle and find new ways of relating.
Where I work
I run SunFilled Pathways Counselling Service in Havant, and my setting is very close to St. Albans Primary School. Alongside my private practice, I contribute to a Portsmouth charity and an organisation in Fareham.
How I work
My therapeutic approach grounded in humanistic values, drawing on theories such as CBT, brief therapy (solution and compassion focused), existential exploration and somatic approaches, such as Emotional Freedom Technique.
Practical information
I offer in-person, online or phone sessions to individuals and couples age 18 and over. Each session is 50 minutes in length.
There is no fixed limit to how many sessions we can have together, your journey will unfold at a pace that feels right for you. I typically see clients once a week, and we will regularly review our progress to ensure your therapeutic needs continue to be met with care and intention.
Getting in touch
If you would like to talk through what support might feel most helpful for you, or would simply like to find out more about how counselling works, you are warmly invited to reach out. Together, we can discover whether I might be the right counsellor to walk alongside you.
You can call / text / WhatsApp me or email.
I look forward to meeting you.

I have had the privilege of supporting clients across several charitable organisations, including a bereavement charity and services supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. These experiences strengthened my understanding of diverse client needs and shaped the inclusive, empathetic way I work today.
Additional trauma training informs my trauma‑aware approach, helping me create a safe, steady space where clients can explore their experiences at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.
Alongside my counselling journey, I have supported individuals through a range of roles, including as a group support worker with Solent Mind, where I facilitated mental health-focused peer spaces, and as an academic support worker within a college setting, where I helped students navigate emotional and educational challenges.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
