About me
Therapy for anxiety, grief, low self-worth, and emotional overwhelm
Many people come to therapy at a moment of difficulty — anxiety, grief, emotional overwhelm, or feeling stuck. Even when things seem fine outwardly, there can be a deep sense that something’s missing, a longing for more meaning, connection, or clarity.
I offer a gentle, relational approach grounded in mindfulness, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed practice. My work supports clients to feel more emotionally regulated, resourced, and connected to themselves — and to gradually shift patterns that no longer serve them.
I’m a BACP-accredited counsellor and UKCP-accredited psychotherapist with over 12 years’ experience. My Master’s training in Core Process Psychotherapy at the Karuna Institute integrates Buddhist psychology, relational awareness, and body-based inquiry.
Areas I often work with include:
- Anxiety, grief, and emotional intensity
- Low self-worth and inner criticism
- Relationship and identity issues
- Life transitions and loss of direction
- Dissociation or disconnection from self
- I welcome clients from all walks of life, and offer a safe, compassionate space for those exploring identity, sexuality, gender diversity, or belonging.
I work in person in Cardiff and online across the UK. Sessions are 60 minutes and cost £65. Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like to explore working together.

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.

Further information
I came to practice as a psychotherapist through my own therapeutic journey.
