​About​
I am a fully qualified accredited Psychotherapist based in the heart of the beautiful Celtic town of Chepstow. I am trained to work short-term which would be focussing on a particular problem, or long-term, exploring unconscious problematic patterns of thought and responses which may be linked to childhood experiences. As an Integrative psychotherapist I will draw on various approaches to therapy. However, I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship as a safe, non judgmental, containing space for clients to explore what is happening in the here and now.
​
I have experienced Psychotherapy and counselling to be helpful for:
​​
-
Complex trauma (long term effects of childhood developmental trauma)
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Bereavement
-
Self development
-
feelings of isolation
-
loss of direction
-
search for meaning in your life
​
However, every one is unique and I never tire of the curious explorative, learning journey. I believe that on our own we are wonderful individuals but together we become more than the sum of our parts and something special can happen!​
​​​
Supervision​
I have an advanced certificate in Relational supervision. I offer one to one sessions or I can facilitate group supervision sessions.
Decent relational supervision is not just important, but essential within the helping professions. That is a non hierarchical, non judgemental space for people to feel safe enough to reflect on their work with clients, especially the uncomfortable areas of the work that raises shame and guilt within us. Without this space these issues remain hidden, even from ourselves, and will impact how we respond to our clients.
I offer both individual and group supervision sessions.

​
Vocal therapy ​
As an Integrative therapist, I also include the use of vocal sounds.
Making vocal sounds can release the blocks in our bodies and lead us into connection with the emotion. This can lead the body into more ‘flow’ and a feeling of aliveness. Finding our own authentic voice requires a sense of curiousness, not judging what you hear, all part of the work.
If you feel like your voice is suppressed or not heard, feel free to contact me. ​​​​

Where?
My therapy practice is based in the Wellbeing Centre, Bank St, Chepstow NP165EL. The centre is right by the high street with easy access to buses and car parking. It is close to several coffee shops making it a nice place to wait if you arrive early.
