About me
There is a short into video below.
Are you yearning for peace in your life?
Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed and alone?
Are you moving further away from a relationship with your authentic self, into a world of doing, anxiety, and distraction?
Imagine instead: feeling grounded, fully in control of your mental and emotional well-being.
I would love to support you and accompany you in whatever is happening for you right now.... and help track you back to inner peace and wellbeing.
No matter what you’re feeling, we will find a way through this together, so you can gain the lasting changes you are longing for. I am interested in you and what you bring to our space together. I will really listen to understand you, helping you make sense of your feelings and thoughts, come as you are. ( and bring your messiness) Truth is, we are all messy.... we have just learned to hide it, to avoid judgement or feelings of shame.
I will create a safe space where our sessions together will invite real, open and heartfelt conversations where you can tune into yourself, share your feelings, thoughts, dreams and desires which is rarely available in everyday life. The safety of the sessions can free you to speak in an unfiltered way from your heart, sharing often what you may never have shared before, so that together we can bring healing to those unseen, often unheard parts. The relationships I hold with the beautiful people I work with brings deep healing, so you can grow courage in their voice and know its safe to be you, to be known as you are. Being known, seen, got and understood, is the deepest human need... and i am here to understand you fully, so that you can learn to understand yourself and build the skills you need, to lead you into the life you are longing to create.
This is your call to experience the magic that unfolds when you speak your truth, listen to your heart and start aligning with your own inner guidance.
You are the most powerful, most effective when you are being fully yourself.
Mindful Counselling and Psychotherapy That Transforms Lives
With over 25 years of experience as a counsellor, mentor, mindfulness facilitator, and psychotherapist, I have developed a unique set of skills and tools to foster emotional resilience and personal transformation. My integrative, embodied approach goes beyond traditional therapy, incorporating mindfulness, meditation, spirituality, skilful communication and somatic practices. I focus on the mind-body connection, working with you in the here and now to be present with your emotions as they are felt in your body.
By learning to listen to and stay with what your body feels in a kind and compassionate way, you’ll feel more understood, leading to deeper healing. This approach cultivates a warmer, kinder relationship with yourself, transforming the way you think and feel. Life becomes easier when met with warmth and understanding, yet many of us feel isolated because we don't reliably receive this from others. Our work together will change that, bringing profound healing and transformation.
I am polyvagal and trauma-informed, with a deep interest in relational neuroscience—how our minds, brains, and relationships shape who we are.
If you’re looking for a safe space where you will be met with warmth, understanding, and expert support, I invite you to reach out. The right connection with your therapist is key to your success, and I offer a free 15-minute consultation to explore how we might work together.
With warmth and care,
Alys
Together we will help you achieve your goals and bring greater balance to your life
All sessions are rich with opportunities to grow and learn. You’ll develop new ways of understanding, thinking, seeing, and being in all areas of your life. All that’s required is an openness to learn and a commitment to the process.
Sessions available are in-Person, via Zoom or phone
I offer video, phone, and some in-person sessions. I work with clients worldwide, and our work together will be just as rich and transformative as in-person meetings. I deeply care about each person I work with, and my superpower lies in understanding, attuning to, and emotionally accompanying you with warmth and care—this is what brings deep healing.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

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.
