About me
A warm welcome.
I'm a humanistic–existential counsellor and mindfulness practitioner with
experience supporting individuals across higher education, third sector, and private practice settings. My work is centred on offering a calm, attentive space where clients can explore their emotional world, deepen self-understanding, and reconnect with a sense of inner steadiness and clarity.
My approach is grounded, compassionate, and guided by the belief that healing unfolds through connection, presence, and the honouring of each person’s lived experience.
Counselling will give you a greater sense of clarity, so you can more easily identify choice, patterns of behaviour and thinking. Taking the first step towards counselling can feel challenging, and you're welcome to send me an email and ask any questions you might have about the process and how it might look like if we work together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, specialising in Humanistic Existential Therapy.
I'm certified in The Body Of Meditation Teacher Training with Dharma Moon, and currently undergoing Mindfulness Teaching certification over at Mindfulness Exercises, by Sean Fargo.
I'm passionate about the impact and transformative aspects of both mindfulness and talking therapy.
I have years of experience working with a wide range of clients and presenting issues like (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, family issues, relationships, identity, ADHD in women, grief and trauma.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a student counsellor at Cardiff Metropolitan University and at the award-winning mental health and wellbeing charity Platfform Wellbeing.
I am a registered member of the BACP, which is the professional body of counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. I mindfully adhere to their ethical framework and attend regular courses and workshops to ensure that I work ethically and safely by keeping informed and staying on top of my professional development. I am fully insured and also receive monthly supervision.
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
Initial assessment over the phone.
This is where we talk about what you would like to bring to counselling and explore how we can best work together based on your needs. We will explore if we're a good match, and talk through boundaries and expectations. It's also good to just have an informal chat. Drop me an email to check my availability and to say hi.
No pressure.
You're under no pressure or expectation to engage in, or continue counselling with me, if you don't feel like it after the assessment call. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable with the counsellor you choose, and I encourage you to spend some time to find the right one, whether it's me or someone else.
