About me
Whatever the reason you are looking for therapy, I will be by your side to help. It is ok to need help and support sometimes. It could be your first time, or maybe you have previous experience and are seeking help again. I appreciate talking to a stranger can be scary but I provide a warm and confidential space where clients can talk openly and freely, without judgment. I work with a wide variety of issues including work stress, relationships, anxiety, grief, anger issues, gender, trauma, sexuality, domestic abuse and OCD. As an integrative therapist I have many different models of working to suit each client as I believe that all of us are unique. I am effective, positive and nurturing, using humour and occasional gentle challenge, helping you learn about yourself and the relationships around you, seeing a different perspective is often very powerful. This can allow insight into your thoughts and behaviours and can help you make better choices for yourself. I believe in empowering my clients with the tools they need for change and moving forward on their own after the initial benefit of therapy. I use psychoeducation and consider knowledge as power, allowing clients to learn and recognise their reactions and change responses in more beneficial ways.
I am additionally trained in Mindfulness, Loss & Bereavement, Working with Muslim Clients, Motivational Interviewing. I have experience of working within Mental health, Cancer charity and currently LGBT Cymru Helpline. I am also an EAP and Wellbeing Counsellor.
I am passionate about providing quality therapy and was quoted in an article in the Financial Times and part of a C4 documentary highlighting the negative impact of unprofessional therapy.

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.
