Welcome to My Practice

How I Can Help

Counselling can help with many problems whether they’re relational, emotional or caused by abuse and trauma. Whatever’s on your mind and whatever it is you’re going through can benefit from spending some time in a therapeutic relationship. You don’t have to suffer alone or in silence. I provide a confidential and empathic space, which often gives clarity to difficulties that are a source of pain and confusion. With support you can start to work through your problems and begin to feel stronger and more at peace with yourself and the world. Being deeply seen and heard by another helps to alleviate suffering. It promotes: self-awareness, self-acceptance, resilience and ultimately healing and change. I don’t diagnose you or tell you what to do. Instead I provide a place for you to focus on whatever it is you wish to bring, offering psychologically informed interventions where appropriate.

Issues that I’ve worked with which tend to respond well to counselling include: anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, trauma, a lack of meaning & purpose, domestic violence, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, identity issues, mid-life crisis, relationship breakdown, anger, low self-esteem, guilt, shame, emotional blockages, attachment issues, rape and abortion.

The list is not exhaustive and any difficulties which are causing you distress are worthy of time and exploration.

Counselling offers a boundaried, non-judgmental, safe and confidential space to talk through life’s challenges. I’m a member of The National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society and adhere to their ethical framework and professional code of conduct. 

I’m currently working online, over the phone and in person at practice rooms in Cardiff and Abergavenny.
