Trauma and PTSD Counselling in Cardiff
When we meet, I will bring to our relationship my experience and expertise in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and loss.
I have trained as an integrative counsellor, and believe that therapy can help us evolve from surviving to thriving. I became a counsellor for many reasons, but fundamentally because of the powerful way in which counselling can help you take back control of your life story; tomorrow does not have to be like yesterday. I can offer you a calm space to explore what feels safe to you until you are ready and I will not make assumptions about the individual struggles you are going through. I work with the full belief that it is possible to find a way through your experiences and re-gain that sense of who you are.

Mental health difficulties can leave us feeling rejected, isolated and alone. This is a hard cycle to break, because we tend to manage our problems in ways that leave us feeling even worse. This is all part of being human. It affects our relationships, our sense of self and our ability to function on a day-to-day basis. It is at times like this that we need support. Someone who can help us to view our problems through a different lens and can help us develop the tools we need to break the cycle. Many people find that therapy is the key to managing their difficulties whilst leading more meaningful lives.

I specialise in helping individuals & couples of all orientations & genders with difficulties related to trauma, sex, intimacy, & relationships.
Many of the people I support feel disconnected from their bodies, desires, sense of worth and their relationships. Therapy is a space where we slow things down, make sense of what happened, & gently reclaim choice, safety, & connection. Together using a trauma informed & integrated approach, we work towards better emotional regulation & authenticity.

I work with developmental trauma and its associated symptoms, which can be wide ranging, from anxiety and depression, people pleasing and poor boundaries to poor emotional regulation and mood swings.

People are impacted in different ways when they have experienced trauma in their life such as a single incident like a car accident or repeated incidents such as childhood abuse, bullying or domestic violence as an adult.
I have developed skills from ongoing work in the NHS to help with trauma. I work with adults using a series of therapies, or an individual therapy as required. These help to make you feel more stable day to day, process traumatic memories so you know they were from the past and help you understand, recognise and change unhelpful relational pattens.

I am highly trained in psychotherapy, neuroscience and trauma and believe that our current issues can often be traced back to early adverse experiences in childhood.
I specialise in working with the impact of traumatic stress on the mind and body. This includes post traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD) but I see many mental health issues as the result of this traumatic stress. For example often the roots of OCD can be traced back to earlier stressful events that need to be reprocessed using bilateral stimulation of the brain

I have a particular interest in trauma and difficult life events and enjoy working with clients using EMDR to make huge changes to their lives.
While I specialise in trauma in my private practise, I have vast experience working with general mental health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, social anxiety, health anxiety and low self-esteem. I also enjoy working to help people in ‘burn out’, whether from stressful work or home environments. In my NHS role I specialise in physical health.

Hello! I have expertise supporting people who have gone through traumatic experiences, from childhood difficulties and traumas through to accidents and abuse during adulthood. I support people with both psychological and physical trauma too, primarily working with young adults and adults. I use techniques such as EMDR, CFT and ACT to help people reduce distress, increase kindness and compassion towards themselves, and live life in line with what is important to them.

I believe that we are all unique. One of the things I love most about my work is the privilege of seeing someone begin to thrive and to enjoy their life again. I love helping to find some inner calm, clarity of thought and to be practicing self compassion as part of their everyday lives. I work in a bespoke way, tailor making my approach to each person. However, that said, everyone's needs compassion and so a compassion focused therapy approach runs through all of my work. I am most definitely a human first and a psychologist second.

If you’re caught in cycles of anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or people-pleasing, this work helps you understand why — and how to change it.
We start by looking at where you are now: what’s not working, what’s keeping you stuck, and where you’d like to go. From there, we create a practical, personalised plan using brain-based tools, emotional insight, and evidence-informed strategies to shift the patterns underneath the surface to reduce anxiety and overwhelm, build self-confidence and clarity, break unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns.
This isn’t about quick fixes or crisis support. It’s steady, supported change.

I work with a variety of issues including PTSD, CPTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, personality disorders and relationship problems, many of which are rooted in trauma and attachment wounding.
If you are experiencing emotional distress, anxiety, depression, negative beliefs or unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns you will already be aware of the negative impact they have on your physical health, your relationships and your life overall. These symptoms can be debilitating and overwhelming but did you realise that they could be a result of traumatic or painful experiences in your past and that there is a way to change this?
I use EMDR therapy and more to help you reprocess these negative experiences to reduce their emotional impact, change your beliefs about yourself and significantly decrease your current symptoms.
