There are many reasons that people come to counselling and therapy. Maybe you're struggling with the pressures of work, study or relationships. Perhaps you don’t recognise yourself any more or you've realised that life isn't going to turn out as you'd hoped. Maybe this is having an impact on your daily life, with spiralling thoughts, anxiety or intrusive images or memories, or you cope by daydreaming in ways that drain your time and energy.
Therapy can help you understand yourself better, live more in tune with your own values, and make decisions that feel more whole-hearted. It can also enable you respond more flexibly to what life throws at you, so you’re more able to face into difficult situations and enjoy what’s good in life.
I am a UKCP accredited psychotherapist, a BACP registered counsellor and a professional member of the Welsh Psychotherapy Institute. I work to the professional codes of ethics of BACP, UKCP and WPI.
I am also trained in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), a neuroscience-based psychotherapy that can help with difficulties caused by traumatic experiences and disrupted attachment relationships.
I work in both English and Welsh.
I welcome persons of all backgrounds and aim to treat your experience with respect, including in terms of race, dis/ability, sex, gender, sexual orientation, neurotype, religion and culture.
