Counselling in Cardiff

Are you're seeking support to make sense of things and find new meaning? Or perhaps you have a specific need or issue you want to explore. I am an advanced trainee Psychotherapist offering a supportive, non-judgemental space to explore your experiences and what matters to you.

Having the space to share your story and have a therapist help you to make sense of what has shaped you can help you gain new perspectives and move towards where you want to be. I have a particular interest in childhood trauma and helping people overcome learned behaviours that no longer serve them, and instead might be hurting their current relationships.

I practice person-centred and emotion-focused therapy and have experience of working with sudden bereavement, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, trauma, and health-related emotional distress, with adults across the age range. Emotion-focused therapy can help to focus on feelings which overtake our lives, making us lose sight of what we want, or keeping us stuck in situations we would like to change. Through gentle exploration of our emotions in a safe environment, we may start to see clearly how our feelings determine our actions, how we can make sense of our emotions, and how we can manage them for peace of mind

Hello! I am a clinical psychologist working for the NHS and privately in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. I work with both adults and children/ young people. I provide assessment and therapy for a wide range of difficulties including trauma, low mood, anxiety, stress, relationship and family problems.

Hello! I have expertise supporting people who have gone through traumatic experiences, from childhood difficulties and traumas through to accidents and abuse during adulthood. I support people with both psychological and physical trauma too, primarily working with young adults and adults. I use techniques such as EMDR, CFT and ACT to help people reduce distress, increase kindness and compassion towards themselves, and live life in line with what is important to them.

Psychodynamic psychotherapeutic counselling has a distinct focus on events which have troubled us in the past, although we might not have awareness of them, and continue to trouble us in the present often through repeated patterns. There might not be any defined areas of concern for clients, and issues can be deep-seated; however, the therapeutic relationship aims to bring these aspects into consciousness in a manageable way so that they may be worked through safely. While psychodynamic psychotherapeutic counselling is often open-ended and can span several years, short courses of six months or less have also shown to be effective.

I offer face to face and online therapy for individuals & couples. I am an experienced Person Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist providing an environment helping you understand what maintains problems by exploring your thoughts, emotions, beliefs and behaviours; enabling you to move towards your goals and potential. I have supported clients experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, panic, low self esteem and traumatic life events. I support couples to identify problems and recurring negative patterns in their relationship using Person Centred & Cognitive Behavioural approaches, helping you achieve shared goals and aspirations.

Through our bodies, we have a unique capacity to heal psychological wounds and break free of limitations. Psychotherapy offers space to be met exactly as we are, so we can begin to see ourselves as whole and access our inner guidance and resources. I believe in the wisdom of the body in how it responds to and heals from trauma, and I have experience of working with people somatically to find greater ease in their bodies and lives.

I am an integrative therapist specialising in using eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to treat a wide range of psychological issues. I am highly trained in psychotherapy, neuroscience and trauma and believe that our current issues can often be traced back to early adverse experiences in childhood. Compared to standard talking therapy EMDR generally takes a shorter amount of time to get to the root cause of the issue. Rather than just dealing with symptom management (like CBT), EMDR therapy works directly with the cause of your distress.
