I am a friendly and supportive counsellor based in Canton, Cardiff. I work in a collaborative and flexible way and tailor my approach to your specific preferences and needs. It is important to me that you always feel in control of the process. While I can help guide our conversations, you are ultimately best placed to decide how to live your life.

I am a trauma-informed counsellor and clinical supervisor working with adults who appear to cope well on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsafe underneath.
My work is calm, relational, and carefully paced. Therapy isn’t about being pushed to talk before you’re ready — it’s about creating safety, easing anxiety, and gently working with emotional and body-based responses shaped by past experiences.
Clients often say they feel calmer, more grounded, and less alone, with a growing sense of understanding and connection over time.

From the outside you are functioning, but inside you feel on edge or numb. Anxiety shows up as overthinking, panic, sleep issues, people pleasing, or a body that will not settle. You might be carrying trauma, grief, low mood, or relationship patterns that keep repeating. Intimacy may feel confusing, pressured, or loaded with shame, fear, pain, or disconnection. You want calm, confidence, and closeness. You want to understand what is happening in your body and mind, and to feel aligned with your faith and values.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
