Counselling

As a qualified humanistic, and cognitive behavioural counsellor, a qualitied trainer for motivational interviewing. I have almost 30 years’ experience of providing emotional and psychological support to individuals who have experienced various challenges such as:

• Addictions
• Stress
• Anxiety
• Relationship difficulties
• Employment related issues
• Neurodiversity
• Depression
• Self-harm
• Anorexia
• Grief and Loss

My work experience has included counselling and wellbeing support roles in Drug and Alcohol Services, School Based Counselling Services, Health and Wellbeing Services for Local Authorities and Gwent Police Force. I am trained in evidenced based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Solution Focussed Therapy.

My goal as a counsellor is to create a safe and confidential environment where issues can be openly discussed, so that positive and meaningful changes can take place.I strive to provide a space that allows individuals to explore their emotions, behaviours, and patterns, encouraging and fostering a deeper understanding of root cause. I offer tools and techniques to build resilience and empower change.
