About me
Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, relationships or overwhelm? Is something from your past getting in the way of your present life? Do you find it difficult to feel content or happy? My 20 years of experience of working with many people has given me the tools, knowledge and insight into how to help you.
Are you an older person struggling with the challenges that come with changes, illness, loss, bereavement, and fear of the future? My own experiences of loss and bereavement inform how I work with you to help you develop healthy coping strategies.
Life is difficult and it can feel impossible to discuss with friends or family. Counselling can help.
I believe that everyone is an individual and needs a bespoke therapy that suits their way of being. I can use a range of therapies but mostly I listen and try to understand you as best I can, so we can work together; raising awareness, increasing understanding of what works and what doesn't in your life and creating goals or changes to improve your well-being, relationships and future.
Would you like to understand why you respond to life and other people the way you do? I may introduce Internal Family Systems into our work, which reaches a deeper level to heal the parts of yourself which may have been wounded or traumatised in the past.
I find it useful to have an introductory session where we can work out if we can work together and then contract for up to 6 sessions. (You are not committed to attending 6 if you don't need them) After the 6 sessions, we can look at how you are and can contract for more sessions if you feel they are necessary.
I work face to face in my confidential counselling room in Llandegfan. It has it's own entrance. There is a bus stop just outside - Menai Bridge and Beaumaris buses are 2 hourly.
I am a BACP Accredited counsellor who has been working in private practice and EAP's since 2004. I comply with the BACP code of conduct and ethics and have regular supervision, insurance, a DBS, and continuing professional development.

Member organisations
school 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 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.
