Counselling

When seeking support, it’s important to know you’re in safe, capable hands. As a fully qualified and licensed counsellor, I offer professional, ethical, and compassionate care grounded in recognised training and experience. 

It’s not about getting the feeling out of the mind, but about experiencing it with acceptance

My approach

My approach is collaborative and adaptable, ensuring our sessions unfold in a way that feels right for you. Rather than offering advice or direction, I aim to support you in deepening your self-understanding and developing the tools you need to live a more fulfilling life.

Rooted in the Person-Centred approach, my practice is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect for your autonomy. I take a relational, humanistic stance that places you at the centre of our work, valuing the therapeutic relationship as a space for growth and exploration.

With specialised training in trauma-informed care, I work sensitively and responsively, tailoring the process to your individual needs. I recognise the deep connection between mind and body in healing, and often integrate body awareness practices to support this.

To enhance emotional regulation, resilience, and present-moment awareness, I incorporate mindfulness and grounding techniques into our work. These practices help you stay connected to your inner resources, manage distress, and ensure our work remains client-led.

Alongside my Person-Centred foundation, I draw on elements of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), which supports clients in exploring and transforming difficult emotions. EFT can be especially helpful in deepening emotional awareness, processing unresolved experiences, and fostering self-compassion.

I also integrate aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which can offer structure and practical tools. CBT supports clients in identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, creating meaningful, sustainable change.

Creative methods are used where beneficial, allowing us to work in ways that feel most effective and meaningful for you. My integrative approach ensures that your voice, needs, and pace guide the process, creating a safe and empowering therapeutic space.

Additionally, I offer Rewind Therapy, which can be integrated into ongoing sessions or delivered as a one-off intervention, with no obligation for further appointments.

Non-judgmental support

Empowering growth

In person & remote counselling

I offer one-to-one, face-to-face counselling from Somerset House, a welcoming and professional building in the heart of Colwyn Bay, North Wales. The counselling space is calm, private, and secure ~ designed to offer you a sense of ease and emotional safety as you explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
 
Somerset House is easily accessible by public transport and just a short walk from local bus stops and Colwyn Bay train station, making it convenient for those who do not drive.
 
Accessibility
Please note that counselling sessions take place on the first floor of the building, accessed by one flight of stairs. Unfortunately, there is currently no wheelchair access. I understand this may be a barrier for some clients, so I also offer remote counselling via video call or telephone to ensure you can still access support in a way that works for you.
 
Remote sessions
If location, accessibility, or preference makes in-person therapy difficult, I provide online and telephone counselling to clients across the UK. This flexible option allows you to access therapeutic support from the comfort of your own space.
 
Parking
  • A small free car park is available at Somerset House.
  • Free on-street parking is also available on Wynnstay Road and surrounding streets (2-hour maximum).
  • Spaces are usually available, but please allow a little extra time during busier periods.
Who I work with
I work with adult clients (18+) and offer both short-term and long-term therapy, tailored to meet your individual needs and goals throughout your therapeutic journey.
