About me

I understand how this time of year can bring up many anxieties, pressures and memories. Whatever is on your mind we can work on your wellbeing together, in a non-judgmental, non-directive way.

I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, addressing both the mind and body. As a Person-Centred therapist, I work with many of life's challenges, the core of my practice is the therapeutic relationship, therapy can be difficult, hard, and challenging, I understand that, and my hope is that you feel comfortable in sharing your story with me. I will respect, support you, and hold an honest empathic space for you where we can explore and understand these feelings which may arise in each session. 

Training, qualifications & experience

My therapy experience is within the charity sector for both a Christian agency and an addiction service. I have experience with a diverse range of life matters including addiction, trauma, childhood diversity and abuse, adult abuse and relationship difficulties, neurodiversity and working with LGBTQIA+ folk.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

Sessions that are held in the Flintshire area are accessible.
