As a relational humanistic counsellor, I believe that the relationship between you and I is integral to our work together. My approach is empathic and explorative, looking back at your past to understand who you are and why you are where you are. In this awareness, my hope is that you will become free to make the changes that you want to in life and to accept all parts of yourself.

The work is yours, and my job is to sit alongside you using my skills, knowledge and experience to support you. It is my belief that the right therapist can provide invaluable assistance to your wellbeing, and guide you to use the resources you have towards a more satisfying way of being.

Clients come to me with anxiety and depression, identity and relational issues, addiction, grief, chronic illness, abuse, bereavement and all aspects of trauma. People also come to me who are looking for a greater understanding of their self and place in life.

I am currently undertaking training in Systemic Constellations with an emphasis on people of colour, and I welcome people from all cultures. I have experience supporting people from the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as those who are neurodiverse. I also enjoy working with adult adoptees and clients who have experienced difficulties in childhood. My background is in the creative sector and I have worked with professionals of all levels from around the globe, to advance their careers and personal lives.

I have specific training in delivering online therapy and building relationships with clients using this platform. Many clients find that the comfort of their own home can be reassuring, and also that this way of working better fits with their busy lifestyles. I am also available for face to face sessions in South Wales.

My work tends to be longer term in nature, though some of my clients feel they need only eight sessions to reap the benefits they require from 1-2-1 therapy.

As an integrative therapist I draw upon a variety of theoretical basis and use them to formulate a bespoke approach to fit the needs of the client. These include attachment and development, transactional analysis, Gestalt, and elements of CBT (though I am not a CBT therapist). All my work is under-pinned by a non-judgemental, empathic relationship and is rooted in an understanding of trauma, neuroscience and the felt experience.
