Welcome. I am an experienced BACP-accredited counsellor and have been in private practice for 16 years. With a background in gynaecology nursing, my passion for supporting women and their partners through the perinatal period spans both of my careers.
As a counsellor, my work encompasses supporting women experiencing a wide range of challenges, including fertility issues and the IVF journey, pre and post-natal anxiety and depression, birth trauma, adjusting to parenthood and baby loss at whatever stage.
I offer the TBR 3-Step Rewind Technique for perinatal/birth trauma, as a stand-alone therapy or as part of a wider piece of therapeutic work. This technique can be used for any perinatal trauma, as any of these experiences can leave parents feeling anxious, low, hypervigilant and have an impact on sleep, bonding and relationships.
It’s really important to acknowledge that everyone will encounter trauma in different ways, so even if your birth or other perinatal experiences wouldn’t necessarily be classified as traumatic from a medical perspective if you felt unsafe, unsupported, disappointed or communication was poor, that can have a continued impact on how you feel, even if the outcome was ‘positive’.
The TBR 3-Step Rewind is a gentle technique and helps to lift any negative emotions attached to the memory of the traumatic event, allowing clients to step into parenthood free of their trauma symptoms.
I am based in Carmarthen and work with clients both in-person and online. I offer a free initial 15-minute Zoom/phone call to discuss this process in more detail and to answer any question you may have. So, please do contact me to arrange an initial meeting. I look forward to hearing from you and guiding you through this gentle and transformative technique.
