About me
Healing Hearts, Inspiring Hope
Do you struggle with self-criticism, perfectionism, shame, or a persistent feeling that you're never quite good enough?
You may dwell on mistakes, doubt yourself or feel that no matter how hard you try, you still fall short. Living with a harsh inner critic can be exhausting.
I offer a warm, compassionate space where we can explore these experiences together, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and help you develop a kinder relationship with yourself.
I am an MA-qualified, professionally accredited counsellor with over 1,000 hours of direct counselling experience. My Master's work included a particular focus on self-compassion, which continues to inform my interest in helping people struggling with self-criticism, shame and perfectionism.
As an integrative counsellor, I tailor my approach to you, drawing on different therapeutic models to support both present difficulties and deeper patterns. I believe a safe, trusting relationship is at the heart of meaningful change.
I work with people of all faiths and none. As a Christian counsellor, I can also sensitively integrate faith and spirituality into our work if this is meaningful to you.
There is space here for you to come just as you are — and space to grow.
Online & In-Person Counselling
I offer online counselling across the UK through Doxy.me, a secure video platform, as well as in-person counselling in Bridgend.
Sessions last 50 minutes.
Taking the Next Step
Finding the right counsellor matters, and reaching out can feel daunting.
I offer a free 20-minute introductory phone or video call where you can ask questions, tell me a little about what brings you to counselling and get a sense of whether working together feels right.
There is no obligation to continue afterwards.
If something you've read here resonates with you, you're very welcome to get in touch.
