Warm, empathic, counselling from the heart of Cardiff. I am a qualified, (BACP) registered, humanistic and integrative counsellor from Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC) with several years of on-the-ground experience. I have often worked with clients going through a range of difficulties including anxiety/depression, periods where they are struggling to cope or times where they are going through unexpected/significant life changes. My role is to support clients with any issues which they feel are impacting on their mental wellbeing and ability to find value, and meaning, in their lives.
I create a comfortable, compassionate environment in which clients can feel shielded to explore their understanding of themselves, and the situations they find themselves in. Together we work towards identifying and addressing the obstacles which stand in the way of the quality of life you would wish for. You will be received without judgement.
Some individuals may be drawn to counselling as they are struggling in their relationships, others because they can sense discontent or unhappiness within themselves which they wish to explore. Clients may find they need support due to issues which emerged over the pandemic, or as a direct result of it since. I welcome those who are new to counselling.

I love to forge strong working relationships. My focus is on longer term work, though I also offer short term. Supplementary to the Humanistic, Integrative style I use I also offer a range of creative approaches for clients who would find that helpful e.g. writing, drama, art, somatic (bodily aware) work, working with breathing, as well as offering support when trauma releases from the body.

As I'm a humanistic counsellor, we would first explore your feelings, and then the best way for you to move forwards. I also look at separating out what is your responsibility in relationships from what's not. As an integrative counsellor I draw from different therapy schools, according to the unique needs of each client. All my work is underpinned by the Person-centred approach of Carl Rogers.
