Counselling / Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy provides you with an opportunity to explore situations that may be causing you distress. It can also enable you to gain insight and understanding, relating to a wide range of feelings you may be experiencing. With this new knowledge you can feel better equipped to deal with ongoing and future life situations, in a more constructive way.

Psychotherapy can also help to promote long term change and growth, allowing for greater independence and personal autonomy.

My approach is an Integrative one which means that I do not use one approach, but take the needs of the client into account. My training has incorporated humanistic therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy. Psychodyanmic therapy helps me to understand the past, and why people behave as they do, also looking at the workings of the unconscious mind. Humanistic therapy is about forming a relationship with the client and putting you in their shoes. Cognitive behavioural therapy is about changing the way you think in order to change the way you feel, and is more direct, providing immediate relief from problems.

The needs of the client come first, and the process is an open and honest one, subject to ongoing reviews. Feedback is an integral part of the process, given to the client, and also welcomed for the counsellor.

The first appointment would be an assessment, whereby we decide, together, whether psychotherapy is the right way forward for you at this time.

I work with Employee Assistance Schemes, local colleges and mental health providers, as well as self-referrals. I have worked with children and adolescents for Foster Care Cymru.

Some of the problems I work with include stress, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, depression, anger management, abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder,personality disorders and difficulties in living.
