About me and my therapy practice

talkingreallymatters@gmail.com 07787 536278

It’s OK not to be OK. I know that it takes courage to ask for help so let me tell you a bit about myself and what I can provide to help you decide whether you would like to take the next step with me...

I am a Humanistic Existential Counsellor (Level 4 BACP accredited) I am person centred and client led – this means that we follow your agenda and that you have the autonomy to decide the direction of your therapy. I believe that you are the expert in knowing what you need, though it might not feel like it right now. I can help you untangle and make sense of things at your pace.

I provide a safe and welcoming, warm space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement. I do not diagnose, nor do I advise. I might gently challenge intrusive thoughts and invite you to consider your alternatives. I also encourage self-compassion and kindness. We might look at building on your resilience and coping skills to help you feel more able to manage during times of distress.

Before becoming a counsellor, I briefly lived and worked in the USA as an AuPair. I returned to work for a Local Authority and then retrained to be an LSA; working in primary and at an Autism Unit for young people. I have also volunteered at a children's bereavement charity and a homeless shelter.

My most recent experience is with a large, children's charity; originally providing counselling but more recently, managing the busy counselling service.

I can provide one-to-one counselling for children, young people and adults.

I have a ground floor, accessible room with off-road parking. I am based in a beautiful, quiet part of the Vale of Glamorgan, near the sea. I am within walking distance of local rail and bus networks.
