By learning to understand what drives us, we are able to change and grow.... and most importantly, learn what to do when we get ‘stuck'. I recognise that the first steps in counselling are often not easy, so will make sure we go at a pace that suits you; therapy can be short or long term, we can decide this as we go along. I am a qualified psychotherapist, couple's therapist and fully trained clinical supervisor, offering a private space in my garden studio, where together we can explore whatever brings you to therapy. I trained in Emotion Focussed Therapy which works on the premise that our emotions guide everything we do.

I specialise in working with adults and young people living with the effects of the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, rape, sexual assault, narcissistic and domestic abuse, and neurodivergence. You may be living with symptoms of CPTSD including overwhelming anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares, panic attacks, self-harm, addictions and suicidal thoughts. Sometimes you might feel as though you don't know who you are or that you have no worth. I also work other types of traumas or if you're feeling paralysed or overwhelmed by your emotions or having difficulty coping with everyday life and you don't know the reason why.

You may be somebody with mild to moderate mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and/or stress. These may be long-standing or more recent, for example reactions to challenging circumstances in the present or more recent past. You will be motivated and willing to engage actively in your own recovery and self-awareness. While I do not have an ideal client - I have worked with a range of clients in a number of settings including the NHS, and Employee Assistance Providers - I do find it very rewarding and interesting to work with the body and creative approaches, and particularly welcome clients open to working in this way.

I am able to facilitate face to face and online sessions.
I am a qualified Therapist with 8 years of experience working within the NHS mental health, addiction & Trauma pathways. 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.

Many couples find themselves stuck in the same painful arguments, walking on eggshells around each other, feeling emotionally disconnected, or struggling to rebuild trust after hurt or betrayal. Others may feel more like housemates than partners, unable to communicate without conflict escalating, withdrawal, or misunderstanding. I work with couples experiencing communication difficulties, emotional disconnection, unresolved relationship experiences, betrayal, and patterns that may be affecting trust, closeness, and emotional connection. Some individuals also seek therapy to better understand the experiences and relationships

I work online across the UK and in person in Swansea.
I’m a neurodivergent therapist working with clients who want to understand themselves more deeply and live more authentically. You might feel like you’ve spent years masking who you are, struggling to feel truly understood, or finding relationships harder than they seem for others. You may feel disconnected, unsure of yourself, or like you can't be the “real” you. Many of my clients are autistic, ADHD or AuDHD (inclusive of those self-diagnosed or questioning). I therefore work in a neurodiversity-affirming way, where the aim is to understand how your mind works and what you need

Do you feel unhappy or unfulfilled in your current relationship? Are you feeling unheard, unloved and taken for granted? You may find yourself worrying about what others think and have trouble falling or staying asleep. Do you notice the same unhelpful pattern happening over and over again and you want to break the cycle? It can be difficult to talk about relationship difficulties or unhelpful patterns with friends and family as they can be quick to judge or give unwanted advice. No matter what is going on for you, counselling provides a space where you can gain insight and clarity. Also learn how to take more control of your life.

I offer day time sessions and evening /weekend sessions, in person and online
It takes courage to reach out and ask for help. It's the first step towards change. It's a brave step, and a step worth taking. Change starts with you. Its hard to take this sort of journey alone. You need someone by your side that you can trust, that you have confidence in, and someone who believes in you too. It's a difficult process to revisit the past and to heal from it. Sometimes it's absolutely necessary in order to move on with your life and be your best version of yourself. The past can't be changed of course, but the way you live with it can be.

I welcome clients in my home in-person, online or over the phone.
I'm passionate about counselling because it has been both life-saving and life-changing for me. Since early childhood I had been anxious and depressed and received very little help until I reached 40, was bringing up 4 children and became very concerned about the effect my moods could be having on them. In counselling I began to experience hope, and was gradually shown how to observe my thought patterns, to look at how my childhood had affected me, and how to recover and change. I'm a different person now, as my husband and friends would tell you. Now I love to help others recover from depression and anxiety in particular.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
