About Us

I am extremely passionate about my work and offer a warm and down to earth approach to therapy. My aim is to gently guide and support you through the difficult time in your life. My training in counselling and psychotherapy was obtained through the Adlerian Society of Wales where I hold a position as a trustee.

I have completed further training in bereavement counselling with Cruse and completed a placement with the Hywel Dda Specialist Bereavement Service. I am proud to have worked as a volunteer for Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society) for many years supporting local bereaved families and facilitating the local support group.

My approach is integrative and draws on different modalities including Adlerian psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy with a focus on encouragement, hope and collaboration. I offer therapy tailored to each individual’s needs by creating a safe, non-judgmental space that encourages self-awareness and growth. For the last 15 years I have worked with diverse client groups from refugees and asylum seekers in the nonprofit sector to in-patient psychiatric facilities. I have worked with issues including stress and anxiety and depression, trauma, eating disorders, OCD, personality disorders and with survivors of rape and sexual abuse.

I offer a relaxed, open and honest approach in my work.

My training and qualification is in Adlerian Counselling and Psychotherapy which is a humanistic approach, encouraging the release of unproductive feelings.

During my time as a student and subsequently as a qualified therapist I have worked with the DPJ foundation, providing talk therapy and much needed support to adults of all ages within the agricultural sector.

Working with the DPJ has increased my experience of working with many different mental health conditions, as well as enhancing my desire to help people with their challenges of daily living.

I am trained in Adlerian Counselling and Psychotherapy and have a Degree in Psychology. My previous job roles within the Care, Social and Academic Sectors have all been focused on understanding the needs and development of others. I am a compassionate therapist who works alongside my clients at their own pace; providing you with support, encouragement and techniques in a confidential safe space to guide you on your therapeutic journey.

Psychoeducation is appropriately incorporated into sessions (i.e. explanation of ideas and suggested reading/videos), which aims to give clients more understanding of topics discussed. This develops client’s awareness and understanding, therefore enabling new insights, positive change and movement within.

Gaining valuable awareness of why we are who we are and how this affects our thoughts and behaviours is extremely beneficial, as it helps clients to develop and increase their understanding, self-acceptance and well-being.

We can all experience times in our lives when we feel that the demands of life are too much for us to cope with. I provide a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can talk freely about the difficulties you are experiencing. I will support you to process and make sense of what you are going through and we will work together to find a way forward.

My core training is in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy and I integrate other modalities of therapy to suit each individual. I am also qualified to practise the Rewind technique which is an approach that can be effective in helping people process traumatic memories and experiences.

I hope that by creating an environment in which you feel heard and validated, you will start to find answers to your questions and develop a clearer sense of who you are and how you want to move forward in your life.

I first came to Adlerian training twenty years ago, went on to study integrative therapy, and returned to become an Adlerian psychotherapist, having realised how much more I could offer working in this way. I also bring my learning and experience from my personal and professional lives to enrich and inform my practice.

I have expertise in neurodiversity, communication difficulties, trauma, creative writing and other expressive arts therapies. I am a certified Brainspotting practitioner. I act intuitively, drawing on creative and spiritual strengths. I am a Reiki Master/Teacher.

I worked in London and East Sussex, before returning to Wales 30 years ago. I have trained and supervised professionals, students and others in therapeutic and pastoral skills, neurodiversity, specialist teaching and assessment, creative writing, sexual health. I have been a diagnostic assessor and therapist for the neurodivergent, their families and intimate others. I have taught all ages, from 4 to 94, at primary, secondary, further education, undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

I consider that I am an informed companion who travels alongside you for part of your life’s journey, while you regain a sense of wellbeing and clarity about your place in the world, who you are and where you wish to travel. I use my middle name, Clare.

I am delighted to be joining the Canaston Bridge Wellbeing Team to provide a range of Complementary Therapies including Reflexology, Aromatherapy Massage, Swedish Massage, Hot Stones Massage and Hopi Ear Candling.

I take a holistic approach providing a safe and warm environment where I can focus on you and tailor specific treatments for your particular needs.

I am passionate about the therapeutic power of essential oils and incorporate them into my treatments to create a deeply relaxing experience allowing the body and mind to refresh and rebalance.

The treatments are enhanced and supported with on-going advice and help with general wellbeing including the use of oils in everyday life to ensure the benefits are real and long lasting. Feedback has been excellent with clients reporting a number of positive outcomes including physical benefits, tension relief, a sense of calm and relaxation, improved sleep patterns, feeling energised and uplifted with improved clarity and focus.

I look forward to welcoming you.

As a certified reflexologist and full member of The Federation of Holistic Therapists, I have gained 20 years of experience in holistic massage therapies.

The core of my work is to help those improve their wellbeing by providing a safe and welcoming environment for the treatment.

My approach considers how the mind and body are connected, and I have witnessed the results and benefits the treatments have provided my clients.

Reflexology is a wonderful treatment for relaxation, and promotes a general sense of health and wellbeing. It can help cope with stress, anxiety and tension. It can improve mood and sleep pattern.

Other treatments I offer include Indian head massage, hot stone massage, facials, pregnancy massage, also pre and post pregnancy.

Every treatment is as unique as each individual person, and can be adapted to whatever your particular needs are.

I am both grateful and delighted to be joining the team and I look forward to meeting you.

I am a certified and accredited Holistic Wellbeing Coach, Colour Therapist & Reiki Therapist.

I pride myself upon the safe space I create and my gentle nature in supporting my clients to find more of themselves beneath the noise of the every day. Every session I facilitate is different in the sense that it’s tailored to the individual needs of the client.

Reiki is a very gentle, non invasive healing technique which works to balance the energy of your whole body, mind and spirit. It is proven to improve sleep, ease tension in the body and calm the mind. Reiki can also help to boost your immune system and supports physical healing.

Through a unique blend of colour therapy and coaching, I work with clients to locate stuck energy and emotion. We work together to communicate with, understand and release that blocked energy in a gentle but powerful way. Clients often experience the physical release of emotion and energy. This leaves them feeling renewed, calm and empowered with a deeper understanding of and connection with themselves.

I would be happy to chat with anyone who feels drawn to my offerings should they have any questions. You can contact me through the button below.

I bring a diverse range of experience and would describe my therapeutic approach as integrative having trained as a Registered General and Mental Health Nurse, the latter leading to further training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and, more recently, Adlerian Psychotherapy.

I specialised in Eating Disorders whilst working in London and became Clinical Lead of an ED Unit in Richmond-Upon-Thames. I have worked with Adults and Young People presenting with disordered eating alongside substance misuse, self-harm, anxiety and depression, for the last 26 years. I also work with body image issues including Body Dysmorphic Disorder..

For the last 8 years I have worked for Children In Need and, more recently, for the GP cluster group within Primary Care.

I offer a warm, non-judgemental and collaborative approach to each individual's journey and am willing to work with all ages. I am currently only working online.

I am also qualified in both Foot and Facial Reflexology and value a holistic approach to Physical and Mental Health.
