About me
Struggling to cope or feeling overwhelmed? As a BACP-registered integrative counsellor, I combine talking, creative, and behavioural therapies to help adults and children build resilience and find clarity.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you do not have to navigate this alone. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or your child, I am here to help.
I offer a free initial phone consultation to discuss your needs and ensure we are the right fit. I aim to respond to all enquiries within 24–48 business hours
About Me
Life can get heavy, and sometimes it feels impossible to cope on your own.
It can feel overwhelming, leaving you feeling isolated or unable to cope with everyday situations. If you are feeling conflicted, stressed, or emotionally exhausted, you do not have to carry it alone. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and find a way forward.
As the founder of Cardiff Counselling Ltd, I offer private, confidential therapy for both adults, young people, children and couples. I support self-referring individuals as well as corporate clients through employee HR services.
I practice an integrative approach to therapy, seamlessly blending traditional talking therapy with creative techniques and behavioural therapy. Because no two clients are the same, this allows me to tailor our sessions uniquely to you. Together, we will look at your difficulties, relationships, and coping mechanisms. Using a solution-focused approach, I will help you gain clarity, build problem-solving skills, and set practical goals. My ultimate aim is to help you develop the autonomy and resilience needed to create positive, lasting change.
To fit around your lifestyle and comfort levels, I offer flexible therapy options for local clients to Cardiff to clients further away:
• In-person: Face-to-face sessions at my practice base in Cardiff, on Cathedral Road.
• Online: Secure video sessions via Microsoft Teams for clients living across the Uk - England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
• Telephone: Convenient phone consultations from the comfort of your home.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting. To help you decide if I am the right fit for your needs, I offer a free initial 15 minute phone consultation. Please feel free to reach out to arrange a convenient time for us to speak.
I review all messages personally and your privacy is paramount. All information shared is confidential and handled in strict accordance with GDPR regulations..

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.

Further information
I practice an integrative approach to therapy. This means I am led entirely by your needs, seamlessly blending a person-centred foundation with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and creative play therapy.
Our very first session will always begin with a gentle initial assessment. Together, we will explore what brings you to counselling, identify your current coping strategies, and discuss your personal goals for positive change.
Throughout our time together, your autonomy is paramount. I work collaboratively alongside my clients to help them grow, build emotional resilience, and effectively manage and overcome debilitating symptoms of anxiety and depression.
