About me

As a qualified and experienced psychotherapist, I can support you with a number of worries and events that may be past or present in your life, maybe you have concerns about what will happen in the future?

I use a variety of different techniques to support you and am able to adapt my approach to suit your needs. 

I have 15 years of experience working for the NHS and in more recent years have worked for MIND mental health charity and Cardiff Metropolitan University. 

Why therapy?

Therapy is used to treat emotional problems and mental health conditions, it involves talking to a trained therapist either 1-1 or in a group, it involves looking deeper into your problems and worries and allows you time, confidential space and guidance to work out ways to solve your worries or issues. Therapy can also help you to deal with troublesome habits either cognitive (thoughts) or behavioural (actions). (CBT*)

Therapy is often to referred to as a listening or talking therapy, this is the case for many types of therapists although, therapists are trained to help you to solve your problems so they may suggest a strategy to help solve your problem or even ways to overcome these difficult emotions and support you to change your attitudes and behaviours.

Often coping strategies are needed to help you calm the overwhelming feelings and emotions and your therapist will be trained to help you find ways to cope with these.

Some therapists use art, music, mindfulness and creativity/play, this is often useful for clients who initially feel unable to express their needs through talking

Training, qualifications & experience

I have more than 15 years of experience working with individuals from very different backgrounds, I currently volunteer for MIND mental health charity and previously worked for a university in South Wales as a specialist mental health mentor.  I have a special interest in relationships and OCD but work with a wide range of difficulties and am able to adapt my approach to best suit your needs.

Member organisations

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.

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.
