My Approach

I am a certified Transactional Analyst, and this approach forms the foundation of my work. While I will bring in valuable TA models, what matters most to me is the relationship we build together. Alongside this, I bring in body-based techniques, tools for calming the nervous system, and trauma-informed practices to support healing and growth.

Creativity is an important part of how I work. I often metaphor, visualization, movement, and grounding exercises to help clients connect with themselves in new and supportive ways.

I am guided by TA’s core values of equality and the belief that everyone has the capacity to reflect, grow, and create change in their lives. I have experience working with people facing a wide variety of challenges, and I feel especially passionate about supporting those who have felt marginalized or ‘othered.’

About Me

I am a qualified psychotherapist and transactional analyst, based in rural West Wales. I offer sessions both in person, from my garden cabin, and online.

My approach is grounded in the belief that relationships—both with others and with ourselves—shape how we experience the world. I’m especially interested in how our inner dialogue influences the way we see and move through life. In therapy, we can explore and adjust this perspective, creating space for a more authentic and fulfilling way of being.

I value each person’s individuality and understand that everyone arrives with their own unique challenges and hopes. Together, we can explore what you’d like to change, understand what might be holding you back, and discover new possibilities for growth. I believe that our past often shapes our present, and through compassionate exploration, it’s possible to gain insight, integrate experiences, and begin to heal.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to creating a therapeutic space built on acceptance, compassion, authenticity, and integrity.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked as a birth doula—a role that still holds deep meaning for me. I have also supported people of all ages in alternative education settings. My background in drama, dance, and music continues to inspire my practice, bringing in creativity and body-based awareness as valuable tools in the therapeutic process.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I am a neurodivergent, neuro-affirming practitioner. While a diagnosis can be valuable, I focus on seeing each person as an individual with their own unique ways of experiencing the world. I acknowledge that neurodivergence shapes people’s lives, but I also recognise that each person’s journey is distinct. I therefore remain curious, open, and responsive to the individuality of every client I work with.
I work with clients experiencing different levels of anxiety, helping them explore underlying causes and address their core needs in order to support meaningful healing.
I have worked with many parents who struggle with their child's challenging behaviour looking at what it brings up in the parents. I have worked with clients with birth trauma, and parents who's children are neurodivergent with
Gaining insight into how you behave in relationships can provide the awareness needed to shift your responses, helping you build more fulfilling connections with others—and with yourself.
This is a topic I'm particularly interested in and I have explored more through CPD, particularly childhood sexual abuse, and the impact and ramifications into adult life.
