About Me

Clinically-proven Psychotherapy - clients improve by an average of 144% across 7 key areas of their lives (Thoughts, Actions, Interactions, Confidence, Resources & Strengths, Achievements, Overall Happiness).

Many therapists have glowing testimonials, few can back it up with international research proving their effectiveness!

I have both. The CORP Research Programme was developed at Plymouth Marjon University. I joined the programme back in 2015 and I can show and tell you more about my results in the Initial Consultation.

I am a Clinical Psychotherapist, Consultant Medical Hypnotherapist, Mindfulness Teacher & Therapeutic Life Coach with more than 20 years of experience in Health & Wellbeing.

I practise Integrative Psychotherapy Techniques to deliver effective mental health support to clients of all ages. I help people with Stress, Anxiety, Depression and other mental health issues and life challenges.

I have delivered specialist mental health projects for NHS Wales, The Vale of Glamorgan Council, Cardiff Council, Cardiff Education Authority, Cardiff Harbour Authority, Rumney Primary School, Age Concern, Penarth Ageing Well Club, UNISON The Union, and many Corporate Workplace Wellbeing schemes.

I volunteered for a year at Marie Curie Cancer Care Home in Penarth, providing Clinical Psychotherapy & Medical Hypnotherapy working with patients receiving Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy and Palliative Care.

Since 2015, I have worked successfully with clients using Skype, Zoom, secure consulting video-links and by telephone. I offer full confidentiality whether working by name or anonymously.

I am DBS-CRB cleared to work with children and vulnerable adults.

I believe I have the right balance of empathy, understanding and professionalism to assist people compassionately.

This is not just therapy – this is brain training and life coaching.
We go beyond solving current and historic issues. This becomes a Solution Focused Toolkit for Life!

I help people build resilient emotional wellbeing as well as to set, to work towards and to achieve their worthwhile ambitions and achievable life goals.

I have extensive clinical experience in working with people with early-onset Alzheimer's and Dementia, being part of an International Research Project into how Medical Hypnotherapy can help them in 13 key aspects of life. I have also worked with cancer patients undergoing Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and Palliative Care.

We can't promise to cure cancer, but we can help with the Stress, Anxiety and Depression associated with it. This boosts the person's Psychoneuroimmunology, which means they get more bang for their buck from the medications and treatments they are receiving.

I now harness and utilise all these diverse life experiences and skills in my work as a therapist. I am passionate about providing a highly bespoke service for all my clients. If neuroscience is an individual’s preference then I gear the sessions into this area or if a person prefers a more spiritual approach, I can adapt to this way of communication.

So...I can help you to free yourself from Stress, Anxiety and Depression the natural way. Learn how to get on track and stay on track with a solution focused toolkit for life! I can help you resolve mental health issues, overcome life challenges and achieve your goals.

HOW IT WORKS

The first session is an Initial Consultation, where I will take notes that include what issues or challenges are being experienced and what goals you’d like to achieve along with some medical details and other relevant information.  I will then explain how the brain works and how these issues arise and, most importantly, what can be done. You will very quickly learn how you can get on track and stay on track. Ongoing sessions are a combination of talking therapies, relaxation and guided visualisation according to your needs and choices.
