About me

Hi, I'm Miranda, I am a BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist, I help people experiencing emotional distress or personal difficulties explore their issues and find their way to live well. Whether you're struggling in your relationships, questioning who you are and what you want from life or working out how to navigate life changes I can help. 

I particularly have an interest in working with those who may be experiencing emotional distress around pregnancy, birth and being a parent - often stressful, these life events have been made so much harder in recent times. If this sounds like you don't hesitate to get in touch.

I offer sessions either in person in my Central Cardiff office or online via video call.  

What you can expect 

It can be such a relief to have the space to talk honestly and openly with someone who isn’t going to give their opinion or tell you what to do. This is how speaking with a therapist is different to talking to friends or family.

After a free 15min consultation phone call, if we both feel that we can work together then I will offer you an appointment, this can take place either in person in my central Cardiff office or via online video call.

You will have 50mins per session and we tend to schedule sessions weekly. How long you need to attend for is up to you, typically eight to twelve sessions can be helpful, sometimes more or less. we’ll talk about what a good outcome might look like and you judge when feels like the right time to end.

To book your free 15 minute call get in touch via email or phone via the contact details below.

My approach

I take the approach that there’s no such thing as there being something ‘wrong’ with a person. When we take time to understand our experiences and how we have adapted to survive we can begin to make sense and this can bring change.

In therapy we can explore what it is that is troubling you, how that’s showing up in your life now and what your needs are in order to live well - however that looks for you.

As each person is unique, so too will be the way we work together. I am an integrative psychotherapist which means that I am able to bring together elements of different therapeutic approaches to suit you, this includes humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy. These may be terms you’ve not heard of, you can find out more about this approach here: (https://www.bacp.co.uk/about-therapy/types-of-therapy/integrative-counselling/).

Ultimately, the important thing is that we are able to work well together and that you feel able to share your thoughts and feelings freely without judgment. I do my best to ensure you are able to put trust in me and our work by offering a confidential, judgment-free space with warmth and respect.

Pregnancy, birth and beyond

I have in-depth knowledge and experience of working with people going through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period, including baby loss, perinatal anxiety and depression and other perinatal mental health issues – I work sensitively and collaboratively to ensure we work at a pace that is right for you. I have come to this work through my own experiences which allows me to engage with empathy and curiosity, always acknowledging that each person’s experience is unique to them.

The covid-19 pandemic particularly caused an increase in distress for those experiencing pregnancy, birth and becoming a new parent during this time, therapy provides the space to deeply acknowledge what that has meant for you.

Maternity and birth workers

Having worked in the ‘birth world’ for over 10 years I’m more than aware of the challenges those working in this field may experience, I’m passionate about improving maternity services and for me that includes looking after the people in it. Therapy provides a space for you to reflect on your experiences and look after 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

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.
