About me
Has life can become more difficult in some way? Are you feeling unsure, overwhelmed, stuck, confused, lost or deeply sad? Struggling with anxiety or low mood?
You may already be holding past distress or trauma and those emotional vulnerabilities may have begun to resurface.
Are you holding the weight of your thoughts and feelings, often unsure of what you are feeling and why, trying to make sense of your present life situation and your place within it. Exhausting yourself with the same thinking patterns and maybe keeping everything inside so as not to worry others. Maybe at times feeling quite alone.
I would like to offer you a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk about how things are for you, to explore what makes you uniquely you.
I would like to support you to work through what has brought you to counselling, how it is impacting you and your sense of wellbeing and consider strategies to help. No problem is too big or too small.
Your space to talk everything through to enable insight and clarity to find those answers from within. And along the way gain a greater understanding, compassion and acceptance of self.
For you to feel heard and understood, to help you carry what is yours. For you to feel less alone as you seek how to move forward. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have a private counselling practice in Newport and I am an associate counsellor for two Employment Assistance Programmes, working with clients 18 years plus. Over the years I have been a counsellor in several local secondary schools and for a university well-being service. I was a counsellor in two different charity settings working with children and young people and I have volunteered for a bereavement charity. I have worked with clients from all age ranges, all walks of life and with a wide diversity of issues.
Member organisations
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.
