About me
Professional counselling for anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, loss and life's uncertainties — BACP Accredited, face-to-face in Llanidloes or online across the UK.
Sometimes past experiences leave us feeling stuck, unable to move forward despite wanting things to be different. Together we can make sense of what's happening, reclaim your confidence and improve your relationships.
My approach is warm, non-judgmental and tailored to you. Drawing on person-centred therapy and my background in somatic and bodywork, I work with the whole person — mind, body and life circumstances.
Starting counselling can feel daunting, so finding the right fit matters. I offer a free consultation call so we can explore whether working together feels right. I aim to reply to emails within 48 hours — if you don't hear back, please check your spam folder.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MSc in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy (2023), am a BACP Accredited Member (MBACP), and bring over 20 years of prior experience working therapeutically with people through my practice as a shiatsu practitioner and previous career in specialist support work.
Additional specialist training includes the Rewind Technique for trauma, working with survivors of sexual violence, a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People, and video and telephone counselling.
My somatic background includes training in Transformational Dialogue, Clean Language and Focusing — approaches that explore how stress and emotion live in the body as well as the mind.
Through previous roles I have supported people experiencing chronic health conditions including HIV/AIDS and ME/CFS, disability, postnatal distress, childhood trauma, bereavement, homelessness and care-leaving. I have worked with individuals and groups from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
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.
