About Me
I know it can feel a bit strange to share your deepest thoughts and experiences with a complete stranger, so here's a little bit about myself, to help you in your quest to choose a counsellor that feels right for you.
I’m a qualified pluralistic counsellor based in Cardiff, UK. I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where we can think together about whatever has brought you to therapy, at a pace that feels manageable for you. My work is grounded in collaboration. As a pluralistic therapist, I don’t assume there is one ‘correct’ way to do therapy. Instead, I work with you to shape an approach that fits your needs, preferences, and current capacity, drawing from different therapeutic models, research, and your own life experience.
I have particular experience working with anxiety, trauma and PTSD, bereavement, anger, relationship and family difficulties, disability, and chronic illness. Some clients come wanting practical tools and structure; others want space to reflect, process, and make sense of their experiences. Many want a combination of both. While I often work in a focused and purposeful way, I don’t place fixed expectations on how long therapy should last. Some people find a brief period of counselling is enough; others benefit from taking more time. We can review this together as we go, responding to what feels most helpful rather than following a pre-set model.
Alongside my own client work, I also work in close connection with a small network of trusted, self-employed counsellors. When I’m not the right fit or don’t have availability, I aim to support clients in finding appropriate alternatives.
