Why consider therapy with me?
If you are thinking about having therapy, the chances are that you are experiencing difficulties and want some professional support to help you make sense of what is happening.
It can be a daunting prospect to share your personal feelings with someone you know little about, and I hope my website will give you some idea about me and how I work as a therapist.
There may be times in your life when you feel you need to speak to someone outside your family or friendship circle.
You may be experiencing a particularly stressful time, or feel depressed and anxious, or you may not be aware of the reasons you are feeling unhappy and dissatisfied with your life.
There may be difficulties in your intimate relationships that bring you to therapy, or you are single and find forming and/or maintaining relationships difficult.
Perhaps you are aware that you are consistently repeating the same negative patterns, which may be affecting your relationship with your partner, children, family or friends. Or you may feel that your past experiences are preventing you from being the person you really want to be.
About me
I am an experienced Gestalt psychotherapist, working in private practice with a diverse range of clients. I have been in private practice for 25 years and find my job immensely rewarding. I also worked as a Macmillan counsellor for six years. In addition, I am a supervisor, supporting trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists who work with individuals and couples.
I strongly believe in psychotherapy as an effective means of helping people to face the challenges that can arise in life. I provide an identity-affirming, neurodivergent-friendly and LGBTQIA+ safe space for people of all races, abilities and cultural backgrounds.
My core training is in Gestalt psychotherapy, holding an advanced diploma from the Welsh Psychotherapy Institute, Cardiff. I am also a Relate-qualified relationship counsellor. I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Supervision, having trained with Relational Change.
I’m accredited with the UKCP, both as a psychotherapist and as a supervisor.
I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and am GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliant. This means I guarantee to protect your confidentiality and privacy.
People who see me for therapy tell me I'm warm, empathetic and a good listener, which means they feel able to share what can be painful experiences.
Initially I trained as a yoga teacher and became increasingly aware of the importance of emotional wellbeing as well as physical health. This, in turn, led me to train as a Gestalt psychotherapist.
How I can support you
Individual counselling & psychotherapy
A supportive space to explore the difficulties you may be experiencing, understand patterns that may no longer be helpful, and develop greater awareness of yourself and your relationships.
Couples counselling
A supportive space to explore difficulties in your relationship, improve communication and understand each other’s perspectives more clearly.
Supervision for counsellors & psychotherapists
A collaborative space to explore and reflect on your client work, develop greater awareness of relational processes, and feel more confident and supported in your professional practice.
