About me

I am a professionally qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I offer individual therapy, both face to face and online; via webcam.

My approach is Person Centred, drawing mainly on Humanistic and Existential theories. Whilst utilising Motivational Interviewing and incorporating Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I have also undertaken some training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Through the use of different therapies, this allows me to adapt a wide range of skills to meet the needs of each unique individual.

I have experience within both the voluntary and public sector. Working within a range of different settings, from an Employee Counselling Service to working with students in Higher Education. I have particular expertise in counselling people affected by alcohol and drug use and adults who have experienced sexual abuse. Alongside my private practice, I am employed as a Well-being Practitioner and Sessional Counsellor for Cardiff University. I have also worked as a Counsellor for the NHS, working in Primary Care within GP practices all around the Cardiff area.

I offer a warm, confidential, empathetic and non-judgemental environment. This enables us to build a collaborative and therapeutic relationship, which I feel is the foundation of working effectively together. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, that you should have the control and the freedom to make your own choices. I also recognise the potential for you to find your own meaning and path in life. My role is to help you explore your concerns, with a hope that you can gain greater clarity, insight and perspective in order to find a way forward.
