About me
I am a National Counselling Society-accredited Counsellor and Supervisor and have a private practice in Little Mill, Pontypool. I have experience working with clients living with anxiety, stress, depression, low confidence and self-esteem, relationship issues, bereavement and other life crises.
I specialise in Emotional Therapeutic Counselling, a person-centred and interactive approach to helping you achieve wholeness of mind, body, and soul. A key aspect of Emotional Therapeutic Counselling is the range of techniques and creative tools that can assist you in both recognising and releasing painful feelings appropriately by working with your emotions.
The therapeutic counselling goes at your pace, and the number of sessions will vary according to your needs. I can offer you a safe, calm, and non-judgmental environment to explore your difficulties.
I offer face-to-face, online or walking sessions.
It is important that you find a therapeutic counsellor you feel comfortable with, so I offer a free 30-minute consultation during which you can meet me and ask any questions you may have to help you make the right choice.
I have experience in short, focused counselling, having worked extensively with a local council and other organisations offering this type of counselling.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Emotional Therapeutic Counselling and am a member of the Foundation for Emotional Therapeutic Counselling.
Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society.
I hold a Certificate in Education and a BA Hons in Education and Training.
My previous role within the public sector has given me extensive experience in dealing with all sorts of traumatic events. It is through this experience that I can help those who have suffered as a result of physical or mental trauma. I trained as an Emotional Therapeutic Counsellor because I strongly believe in the importance of emotional health. This holistic, integrative approach is a gentle path to finding the real you.
I am committed to continued professional development.
