Read our latest guidance and resources about therapy during COVID-19.
I am a qualified systemic psychotherapist. I have also worked in mental health care in the NHS for the last 23 years, and have an understanding of the issues that arise when someone is making the decision to seek help.
Anyone who comes to see me will find an open-minded thinking space in which we can have conversations about ideas and feelings with a focus on how these affect relationships. The aim of this is to ‘make sense’ of where the person has come to in their lives. This can then be a starting point for carrying on life with hope, energy and confidence.
I work with individuals, couples and families in my consulting room close to central Swansea, but can also offer online sessions.
I originally trained and qualified as a mental health professional in the 1990s and still work part time in the NHS as a psychotherapist.
My personal and professional experiences have led me to the belief that recovery from mental suffering requires more than a diagnosis and medication. I believe that people need, in addition, a safe setting in which to explore and make sense of their inner experiences and of their relationships (current and past). I have experience of working with trauma, and with people who have spent time in mental health services.
I am a mother of three; my previous personal experiences include caring for my disabled daughter who had a life- limiting condition, and also caring for a close family member with serious mental illness.
