About me and my therapy practice

The Lighthouse Therapist.

I am a registered Systemic counsellor/therapist based in Newport, South Wales.

Working together, we can create a safe space to talk about whatever you are facing that is challenging or difficult for you and reflect upon resources that can be the foundations for healing and recovery.

Systemically trained, that simply means I work relationally, exploring the contexts and sets of relationships that surround us all.

I am here to support you in a confidential, non judgemental way. I will never tell you what you should do. I will listen and support you whilst you work towards finding a happier and healthier future.

My first session

We will simply meet for the first time and talk through what it is that you feel you need from counselling and agree a way forward that is comfortable for both.
