                                    A space to heal  
​
As a qualified and experienced counsellor, I offer a safe and confidential space where clients can process difficulties and explore feelings without being judged. My aim is to provide a therapeutic experience through warmth, sensitivity and acceptance, where individuals can feel valued and their story is listened to.
​
Counselling is not only a space to talk, sometimes it’s easier to express ourselves through art and creativity; in my practice there is a wide variety of materials, and different therapeutic techniques can be used – art, music, puppetry, sand tray…
​
I have extensive experience in working with adults as well as with children and young people, both in my private practice and through my commitment to various charities. In the past few years I have been working as school and community-based young people counsellor for Blaenau-Gwent Youth Services in South Wales. As a BACP member I adhere to their Ethical Framework for Good Practice, and I am committed to Continual Professional Development.
