BACP Accredited Counsellor
UKCP Accredited Psychotherapist
In-Person (Cardiff) • Outdoor (Caerphilly Mountain) • Online
I am a BACP Accredited Humanistic Existentialist counsellor, and a UKCP Accredited Core Process Psychotherapist, with 15 years’ experience.
I work in the following areas:
- Sadness, loss, grief-work
- Frustration, anger, stress
- Fear and anxiety
- Life stages and transitions
- Relational work
- Dissociation, split parts, emptiness, numbness
- Psycho-spiritual emergence
- Imaginal, deep creative
- Sexuality, lgbtq+, gender diversity
I can help you to process your feelings, and work through emotional difficulties. The modalities I work with combine Eastern Buddhist psychology, with western psychodynamic and trauma-informed approaches. The work assumes that our essence is free, and naturally orients to inherent health and wellbeing.
This is a compassion-based way of working, that invites you to be with complex or difficult patterns with a sense of self-care and wellbeing at the heart of the work. If we are able to witness our inner worlds with kindness, we can find perspective and notice more clearly where we may be experiencing difficulty. This awareness can be an effective way of moving through problematic territories rather than becoming contracted or reactive.
I ask you to sit with your feelings, and deepen into what is happening for you. This helps you to resonate with your own experience, and to allow yourself spaciousness to be with your emotions, and to turn towards inner pain.
Processing uncomfortable feelings, thoughts, beliefs and perceptions often brings relief and can make inner shifts more possible.
