Me and my therapy practice 

I am a qualified counsellor, registered and accredited with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. As well as running my own private practice, I am an accredited CPD trainer and  teach Writing for Wellbeing at Cardiff University’s department for Lifelong Learning.

With a background in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Creative Writing, I often use creative methods, metaphor and visualisation in my work, as I feel it helps us express what we sometimes can’t in words. My approach is holistic as I believe that thoughts, feelings, body and mind all affect each other. I am also training as a Reiki Practitioner and Enneagram coach and I deliver workshops in Personal Development.

Having experiened my own long-term health challenges I have specific insight, awareness and understanding for people navigating the difficulties of living with life changing and life-limiting conditions or chronic fatigue.

As holistic beings our psyical, emotional and mental wellbeing are intertwined – working somatically (using body based knoweldge) is often a powerful way to understand and process emotions and experiences. If you are especially interested in incorporating somatic practices into our work or working somatically please do feel welcome to discuss this with me.

I believe that a safe, respectful and non-judgmental relationship can help everyone flourish. Whether you are experiencing current difficulty, wish to develop your sense of identity, or make a change in your life or the way you feel, I may be able to help. If you choose to contact me, I offer a space where we work together to explore what might work best for you. I am interested in hearing about you as an individual.
