Throughout our life-time there will always come a time when we all struggle with issues. I believe that we always do the best we can when those issues arise, even though sometimes we haven’t yet developed the skills to deal with them in an effective and healthy way. I think that this is where counselling can help - I see my role as a provider of a safe non-judgemental place where learning, growth and change can happen. And everyone can do it, whether you are neurotypical or neurodivergent.

I am a neurodivergent counsellor working with those who wish to make sense of their lives. Are you feeling unsupported in life or lacking connections with people who really understand you? Do you wish you had closer connections, more people to share your innermost thoughts with, or more authenticity where people know the “real” you? Are you struggling with overthinking what you need to say in social situations?

Most people seek therapy because they feel stuck in some way. You might find yourself stuck in a feeling, like sadness, anger or stress. You might find yourself repeating a behavioural pattern - maybe you're noticing a string of unsatisfying relationships, feel like you attract a specific type of person, or use alcohol or other substances more than you'd like? Psychotherapy is an evidence-based approach to self-understanding and change. Therapy can support you to challenge unwanted patterns and create new ways of being in the world that bring you joy.

This may be just one method or a combination of therapies. You will be in control of this and it can be changed as we progress, I offer this in a safe, confidential and non judgemental environment.

I am a qualified Therapist with 8 years of experience working within the NHS mental health sector & Trauma Therapies. The key to my work with clients is the belief that, through a psychotherapeutic relationship, we can gain insights into our patterns of behaviour. Working relationally, we can explore the possibility of change and begin to consider alternative positions that lead towards a more compassionate and fulfilled version of ourselves. My primary modalities of working with my clients involve addressing the unmet needs of our life experiences in early years, exploring the relational needs that may have been left unattended.

I also have experience in dealing with narcissistic abuse, Munchausen’s syndrome and Munchausen’s by Proxy.
I have been working with adult individuals in South Wales since 2013. I do not hold any preconceptions and am genuinely interested to meet new clients, to find out more about them and what it is they want to change. I always ask what each person would like to achieve and I regularly re-visit this goal (or goals) to ensure that our counselling will be as helpful as possible. I believe that my clients have the ability to overcome their problems and I invite them to be as open with me as they choose in order to arrive at the best result for them.

I am an integrative therapist specialising in using eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to treat a wide range of psychological issues. 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. Compared to standard talking therapy EMDR generally takes a shorter amount of time to get to the root cause of the issue. Rather than just dealing with symptom management (like CBT), EMDR therapy works directly with the cause of your distress.

I work online with teens, adults, and couples who are done doubting themselves after toxic, abusive, or narcissistic relationships — whether with a partner, ex, or family member.
I get it. I grew up in a narcissistic family, so I know how deep this shit cuts. Appropriate self-disclosure matters, it helps to know your therapist really understands. I’m straight-talking and fully engaged in sessions. Expect honesty, validation, perspective shifts, emotional support, parenting guidance, and yes, I swear when it fits.

What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.

How do therapists treat NPD?

By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.

Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?

Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will. Still, people with NPD often quit therapy as they naturally resist feeling vulnerable, being challenged, or admitting to flaws.

How can you get narcissistic personality disorder treatment for someone?

It is notoriously difficult to convince someone with NPD to seek help. With their feelings of superiority, they may be unlikely to recognize or acknowledge that they have a problem, or that their problem is narcissism. Sometimes, they are aware that they are arrogant and that others resent them but they don’t see it as a problem because they are convinced of their superiority. People with NPD have trouble maintaining relationships, but family members and others who do feel close to them, and whose presence they value, may be able to encourage them to seek therapy.
