Hi, I am a Mental Wellbeing Counsellor and Psychologist. In my private therapy practice, I can help you with concerns you may have with anxiety, stress, depression, anger, and self-esteem, amongst many other mental well-being problems.
In addition to counselling, I have extensive experience in business as a people manager and mentor, which I bring into my practice to provide career coaching and mentoring as additional services.
My services are available in person at my clinics across North Wales or via video or telephone if you are further afield.
I take an integrative therapeutic approach grounded in Person-Centered Theory (PCT).
Fancy Words! In simple terms, this means that as a therapist, I can use a mix of different therapy techniques, but the foundation of my approach is based on the Person-Centered Theory.
PCT is a type of therapy where the therapist creates a supportive and non-judgmental environment, allowing the client to lead the conversation and find their own solutions. Person-Centred therapists such as myself believe that people have an inherent ability to grow and improve when they are in a positive and accepting environment.
When a therapist uses an "integrative approach," they might borrow methods from different types of therapy, like cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and others, but they always focus on the core principles of Person-Centered Theory: empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness with the client. This means the therapist respects and trusts the client's ability to find their own path to healing while also using other helpful tools to support them.
I am an Accredited and Registered Member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and an Individual Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and the British Psychological Society (BPS). I hold an Honours Degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am insured and have a clear Enhanced DBS certificate.
