About me

A few years ago, my life was turned upside down in an instant, and I realised I needed help. Sitting outside a counsellor's room was the first step towards a very different future.

At the time, I had no idea how much talking through my life, my thoughts, and what I was experiencing would change my perspective. Therapy helped me understand myself in a completely different way.

That experience inspired me to train as a counsellor so I could give something back for the support I received. I won't pretend it was easy—it was a huge step, with many thoughts, emotions, and challenges to work through. But looking back, I know I have become a stronger, happier version of myself.

Today, I am a qualified Person-Centred Therapist. This means our sessions are centred around you—your thoughts, your feelings, your experiences, and what matters most to you. Together, we will work at your pace to help you make sense of how you're feeling and find a way forward.

I have experience supporting clients with:

Anxiety and depression
Panic attacks and low mood
Trauma (trauma-informed practice)
Bereavement (trained with Cruse Bereavement Support)
Domestic abuse
Narcissistic abuse
I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of effective counselling. We will build a relationship that feels right for you within our regular 50-minute sessions. Whether you're looking for short-term support or longer-term therapy, we can decide together what best meets your needs.

I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about whatever is on your mind. The only exception to confidentiality is where there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or someone else.

I am an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in accordance with their Ethical Framework, ensuring safe, professional, and ethical practice for every client.

If specialist support would better meet your needs, I am happy to discuss this with you and refer you to the most appropriate service.

I currently have availability for face-to-face counselling at my practice in Mold.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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
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.
