Aviva Health

Female

I am a UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) Registered Family & Systemic Psychotherapist. I have over 30 years experience of working in social, health and educational contexts, initially as a social worker and then as a family therapist. My background includes extensive experience of behavioural ways of working with children and adolescents to resolve difficulties. In order to widen my approach I then completed an advanced clinical training in family therapy in 1996. I have worked as a consultant psychotherapist in a child care organisation and now work in private practice as a family and systemic psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and trainer. I work as a family consultant within the collaborative law process and hold the license for Divorce Support Groups in Cardiff. I am an experienced family and systemic psychotherapist who has also enjoyed supervising and working with counsellors and therapists with different theoretical backgrounds from my own.

• UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) Registered Psychotherapist - Family and Systemic Psychotherapist since 2003
• Post Graduate Diploma Family Therapy - Cardiff University (UK) 1997

I am committed to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I abide by the Code of Ethics of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Code of Ethics of the Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Practice (AFT) Warrington.

I have consulting rooms in both Caerphilly and Cardiff. I work closely with family lawyers within Wales who are specially trained to work in a collaborative way with their clients. This service is available to separating and divorcing couples. I am active within my profession and I am the chair of the Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Practice within Wales. I am committed to developing my practice and I am currently undertaking a training in advanced clinical supervision.
