About me
I work with Adults, Couples and organisations In-person and Online. I'm also billingual and can work through the medium of Welsh.
I specialise in Relationship Issues, Bereavement, Complex Grief and Trauma. I regularly work with other issues including Identity, Dealing with Change, Neurodiversity, Anxiety, Depression, Confidence, Self Esteem, Stress and work-related issues. I also deliver training on many of these areas.
I'm trained as an integrative therapist and therefore use different methods based upon the people and issues I work with. The process is underpinned by getting to know and understand you within safe, supportive and confidential boundaries. I’ve found working on a weekly or fortnightly basis (particulalry when working with couples) to be the most effective and cost-effective way of working.
The process of therapy for individuals and couples is about creating an environment where we can better understand you and your life experiences. Some may have been confusing, upsetting, or even distressing leading to struggles in day to day life. By exploring or untangling these difficulties it's possible to help you make sense of them. This can lead to positive changes where broader perspectives and a deeper understanding can bring about greater clarity.
I'm more than happy with an introductory phone call to clarify your needs and/or details before we start.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work in private practice and with organisations in various settings. I’ve been fortunate to have had rich diverse experiences within the public, private and third sector including educational settings, various charities, media and sporting organisations.

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.
