I work with people with a range of issues including but not limited to, depression and anxiety, suicide, relationships and their issues, sex and sexuality, greater life balance, work related stress and more.

My aim is to help you get a better understanding of your thoughts and feelings to help you deal with your emotional issues and to support you if you are feeling stuck or struggling to make sense of things by working collaboratively towards your goal. I know that it's often a challenge to make the decision to seek therapy, yet the benefits can be enormous.

I am a registered member of the NCS, National Counselling Society and BACP, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to the ethical guidelines for safe practice and supervision to make sure I give you the best possible service.

I work with clients addressing a variety of area's some of which are anxiety, depression, self-confidence, suicide, relationships and couples counselling, sexual and sexuality, difficulty with life transitions, trauma and abuse.

life can be amazing and exciting but can also be challenging, overwhelming, confusing and stressful. mostly we find our way through life and figure it out ourselves but sometimes we need a bit of help. There are many things that impact our lives, relationships with friends, family and work colleagues. Disability, either your own or others you care or any other caring role.
Counselling is a talking therapy which gives you a space to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement. Counselling aims to help you feel more in control and empower you to make the changes YOU want to your life!

The next page, because the future is still unwritten....

I began working on placement with Cardiff Mind as a person-centred counsellor working with adults and after qualifying, I continued to volunteer with them as a counsellor alongside my private practice, the next page counselling, as I believe counselling should be accessible to all. I continue to work in a person-centred way, which means the client leads the sessions however, through continued training would say I am an integrative counsellor.

As an integrative counsellor, I work with various models of therapy and use the best to match the needs of my client, as every person is an individual. I want you to feel comfortable with me and build a good therapeutic relationship, this allows you to be able to feel comfortable to reveal your personal thoughts and feelings knowing that it is confidential and safe for you to do.
