About me
Sometimes life can become really painful or overwhelming, or we just feel stuck in a rut with no way out. Maybe you're looking for help because you're feeling undervalued at work or in a relationship, or you're experiencing a loss or change and it's really hurting, or maybe you find you're just not living your life as fully at you'd like. Talking therapy can really make a difference and I aim to provide you with a safe and confidential place for that to happen. I would support you, without judgement, and together we would explore what's causing you pain or getting in the way, and I would support you through any changes you choose to make.
I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and I offer short or long-term counselling for individuals, via telephone, online, or face-to-face at a venue just outside Cardigan.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Diploma in Adlerian Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am also a member of the professional organisations: the Adlerian Society Institute of Individual Psychology and the Adlerian Society of Wales. I am trained in Rewind Technique by The International Association for Rewind Trauma Therapy.
I have a small private practice, and I work with Pathways to Change for Dyfed Drug and Alcohol Services. I am a bereavement volunteer and supervisor with Cruse Bereavement Care and I volunteered as a counsellor with Pembrokeshire Counselling Service for three years.
I keep my professional knowledge and practise up to date with regular Continuing Professional Development and I adhere to the BACP code of ethics.
Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
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.
