About me
A very warm welcome to my profile.
I am a qualified and professionally registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I practice in a truly empathic way ensuring you feel supported in the work that we do together, taking each session at your pace.
Having worked in a people support role within the workplace for over 25 years I have been privileged to listen and support people with what is happening in their lives.
I am therefore passionate about enabling people to talk by providing a non-judgmental space. I deeply understand how problems can impact both home life and work life and how having somebody to talk to can help. I have experience providing one-to-one support to individuals with depression, anxiety, stress, imposter syndrome, loss of identity, loss of job, retirement, divorce, grief, bereavement, pregnancy loss, child loss, addictions including alcohol and drugs, suicidal ideation, neuro-diversity, including later life diagnosis. Personally, I have been gifted a first-hand understanding of neuro-diversity through lived experience within my family, thereby underpinning my work as truly inclusive.
As well as private practice, I am an affiliated Counsellor with Mind supporting a range of mental health needs. I also attend clinical supervision every month as an ethical requirement of the counselling profession and more importantly to ensure I am providing my clients with the best possible support.
I work in a relational way integrating various theoretical frameworks including person-centred, psychodynamic and elements of CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), to understand and make meaning of what you are going through. Counselling is about the process of change and can be short or long-term. Our work together will be reviewed at regular intervals where we can reflect openly on the progress being made.
I offer a free 20-minute introductory call where we can discuss what you are looking for and if I am the right Counsellor for you. You can do this by emailing me using the button above.
My current availability offers in-person counselling based between Cardiff or Newport on a Monday afternoon and all day Wednesday. Online counselling or telephone counselling (UK-wide) on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

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.
