I am a BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist. I help people experiencing emotional distress or personal difficulties explore their issues and find their way to live well.
If you are currently struggling with navigating perimenopause you are very welcome here, come and see how we can work together.
Having landed on my website you’re likely curious about finding help to cope with and make sense of your emotional distress or personal difficulties. If those difficulties are related to perimenopause let’s talk.
I take the approach that there’s no such thing as there being something ‘wrong’ with a person. When we take time to understand our experiences and how we have adapted to survive we can begin to make sense and this can bring change.
In therapy we can explore what it is that is troubling you, how that’s showing up in your life now and what your needs are in order to live well – however that looks for you.
As each person is unique, so too will be the way we work together. I am an integrative psychotherapist which means that I am able to bring together elements of different therapeutic approaches to suit you, this includes humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy. These may be terms you’ve not heard of, you can find out more about this approach here (https://www.bacp.co.uk/about-therapy/types-of-therapy/integrative-counselling/). Ultimately, the important thing is that we are able to work well together and that you feel able to share your thoughts and feelings freely without judgment. I do my best to ensure you are able to put trust in me and our work by offering a confidential, judgment-free space with warmth and respect.
It can be such a relief to have the space to talk honestly and openly with someone who isn’t going to give their opinion or tell you what to do. This is how speaking with a therapist is different to talking to friends or family; it can also be challenging and infuriating – in a good way.
Sessions are 50mins and initially we tend to schedule them weekly or fortnightly. How long you need to attend for is up to you, typically eight to twelve sessions can be helpful, some people find it useful to continue for a longer period often valuing the reflective space therapy offers. We’ll talk about what a good outcome might look like and you judge when feels like the right time to end. You can choose from having your sessions online or in person if you are local to my Cardiff office. The current session fee is £60.
To discuss how we can work together get in touch via email or via the contact details below and I will book a free 10-15min phone call with you.
From early 2026 I will also be offering an online reflective group specifically for those who are struggling with their relationships in perimenopause. Find out more and get on the waiting list by getting in touch here:
Sometimes you just need space to work out what the heck is going on and what that means for you. You’ve probably googled most of your symptoms and worked out the basics but perimenopause isn’t just about hormones, it is so much more than that. It is a lifestage that demands attention, it is a disruptor and your unique experience will be shaped by what’s gone before and what’s happening in life now. Relationships and identities shift, energy ebbs and flows and your tolerance for bullshit is low…and somehow you’re meant to just carry on. Therapy sessions offer you the space to work through this at a pace that’s right for you. We’ll look at what this lifestage is presenting you with, what needs processing and what might contribute to life feeling a tad easier. Get in touch if you’d like to work 1:1 or have a look at my ‘Navigating relationships in perimenopause’ online offering which will be available soon.
