About me

Hi, thank you for taking the time to view my profile. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, burnt out, or unsure who you are beneath all the expectations you’ve carried, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with come to therapy because something in their lives no longer feels sustainable: relationships, identity, work, or a sense of having lost touch with themselves and what they want in life.

I’m an integrative therapist and accredited member of the BACP with over fifteen years’ experience in mental health, higher education, domestic abuse services, and community work. I’m also a neurodivergent lesbian therapist, and my lived experience shapes the way I practise.

How I Work - Clients often tell me they value my calm presence, my ability to attune deeply, and the sense of safety they feel in being fully themselves without judgment.

I support clients who want to: make sense of relationships, understand and overcome anxiety, depression, stress and other difficulties with mental health, unlearn people‑pleasing, explore identity, sexuality, or neurodivergence, to reconnect with their own needs and boundaries and more.

I work online, face to face (Morriston, Swansea), or outdoors.

Feel free to send me an email or text and we can arrange for a free initial 15-minute call to decide whether therapy with me is right for you.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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
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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
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.
