Professional Practice
I have been working as a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist since 2014, running a full-time private practice. I offer face-to-face, online, and telephone sessions, working with self-referred clients, Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) clients, NHS referrals, and corporate organisations.
I am affiliated with organisations such as Beacon Cymru Swansea, where I provide individual and couples counselling to employees. I have also delivered in-house mental health support within corporate settings, including Amazon FC Swansea.
In addition, I work as a mental health mentor for university students, supporting individuals experiencing mental health difficulties and learning disabilities.
Alongside my clinical work, I provide professional supervision, supporting both trainee counsellors and qualified practitioners, with over 400 hours of supervision practice.
“I work in accordance with the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and remain committed to ongoing professional development through regular CPD training.”
