About me and my therapy practice

I’m an ex - nurse having worked in NHS in Northern Ireland and North Wales for 25 years, in the Third Sector/Charity for 15 years and with Corporate Wellbeing Therapy for 2 years.

I am now dedicating my time to my Private Practice - offering a comprehensive range of approaches as an integrative therapist. I work in an attachment and a trauma informed way, with a variety of presenting issues. I work with trauma, relationship issues and life transitions, communication and assertiveness, with mild to moderate mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and stress and workplace worries. I consider myself to be integrative in my approach, drawing on attachment theory, psychodynamic ideas, systemic (family), Solution Focussed, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) and Brainspotting. There is no "one size fits all" way of working and can be tailored to suit individual client needs.

I have trained comprehensively and continued to develop as a therapist since my first counselling course in 1994! With a background in Psychology and Nurse Training , my initial Counselling training was In Person Centred Counselling. . I am Relate trained as a Couple and Marital Counsellor and a Systemic Practitioner (Family Counsellor Post Grad Diploma). Further training included Level 7 (Post Grad) CBT modules and EMDR parts 1 through 4. I also have Brainspotting training parts 1 through 3.

Along with these substantial trainings I continue to learn and develop with continuous professional development – I believe every day is a school day. I am continually humbled by the courage and trust my clients show by embarking on and continuing their therapy journey. It’s an honour and a privilege to get to accompany them.

My first session

A first session is a mutual assessment -to see how I can help and hear what you need. Please see website for more detail of what to expect. www.walescounselling.co.uk

What to expect on your First Session and the Counselling Process.

We will have an introductory appointment – assessment - to mutually work out whether counselling or therapy with me could be helpful you with the problems as you see them. I will be interested in your theory and ideas about what has happened and what you feel you need – as you are the expert on you. A counsellor is expert on the process and theory. Together we bring these expertise together.

If we choose to continue we agree a number of sessions - a counselling agreement. I will ask about the problems and history of problems and coping strategies. I will ask about functioning and patterns, support network, work and personal or domestic life. We will identify any triggers. While we do this I will try to assess whether my kind of counselling/therapy would suit you. I do this by listening to your reasons for wanting counselling and the difficulties you are having. I will ask about previous therapy and any mood medication. We may complete mood measures or trauma measures on an assessment session. These scores will help me determine what kind of therapy we can do together.

I will ask for your GP surgery in case of risk. If I cannot be helpful about an issue or issues I will endeavour to refer or signpost you to an individual or agency specialised or experienced in this.

During this time you will build up an idea of what is involved and you will be able to make up your mind whether we can work together. It is important to be clear about what you want and what the counsellor is able to offer.

You may want to ask me about the differences between types of counselling modalities, and what I feel would help you. We will develop a plan and co-create goals together.
