To explore issues that are causing challenges in your lives and look at how we might over come these. I offer counselling to individuals and couples of all genders. Short term or long term counselling. Whatever the issue is that brings you to counselling I work with you as an individual or couple. I have a special interest in relationship counselling. I can provide couples a safe space to have the conversation that really matters!

As a therapist working in South West Wales, I specialize in face-to-face therapy, as well as seeing clients online, either for the short-term, or long-term, where sessions are open-ended. Whatever has brought you to counselling, together we will work to empower you to discover yourself and find solutions, as needed.

I'm passionate about counselling because it has been both life-saving and life-changing for me. Since early childhood I had been anxious and depressed and received very little help until I reached 40, was bringing up 4 children and became very concerned about the effect my moods could be having on them. In counselling I began to experience hope, and was gradually shown how to observe my thought patterns, to look at how my childhood had affected me, and how to recover and change. I'm a different person now, as my husband and friends would tell you. Now I love to help others recover from depression and anxiety in particular.

Coming to therapy can seem like a big step. But in my experience with clients, it is usually the beginning of a liberating time when past and present concerns can be expressed and understood with emotions examined and transmuted. Learning how to accept and navigate difficult life situations can be really beneficial, as you discover what choices are available to you in how to handle difficult emotions and thought patterns. Many of our core beliefs were formed when we were young and not fully conscious of the choices we were making about our world. Therapy gives you the chance to look at yourself and your issues in new ways.

I offer a safe, caring and supportive space where, working at a pace set by you and using a variety of tools and approaches that reflect you as a unique individual, I will work along side you in exploring and understanding the difficulties that may have brought you to seek therapy and helping you towards any changes you would like to make. I believe that you are the expert on you and so our sessions are guided by what you bring to each meeting, I will give you time to be heard, perhaps making observations and reflections or sharing tools or techniques that I feel may bring understanding or support you in moving forward.

Hello. I offer a safe and compassionate transitional relationship, supporting you to find more self-compassion and develop healthy relationships. The relationship that we create together can help you to understand how unhelpful (although originally useful) patterns of relating to ourselves and others endure in the present. This unique relationship can offer a world of possibilities for different ways of being in the world. Informed by up-to date neuroscience, I offer a safe relationship to empower you to manage enduring symptoms of past trauma.

Hello, my name is David and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. The fact that you’re considering seeing a counsellor means that you’re unhappy with a part of your life, whether it be an unfulfilling relationship, an uncertainty about career or lifestyle choices, or thoughts and behaviours that inhibit your ability to lead the life that you once dared to imagine. The pandemic has also forced people to look again at their life and reappraise what they really want from it.

I have 15 years of experience as a Counsellor and Hypnotherapist and I know that the reason you are even reading this is because you or someone you know needs help. How do we start? A simple chat, either over the phone or online. We will discuss your worries or issues and together work out the best way forward. This may be just one method or a combination of therapies. You will be in control of this and it can be changed as we progress, I offer this in a safe, confidential and non judgemental environment. Many of my clients choose to split sessions into 1/2hr Counselling and 1/2hr Hypnotherapy.

Offering Online and Walk and Talk Therapy. I will provide a confidential and non-judgemental space where you can discuss anything that’s bothering you, whether it’s big or small. I aim to give you the tools to help you understand, use, and manage your own emotions in helpful way. These tools will help alleviate stress and will give you the ability to communicate more effectively, empathize with others, help build self-confidence, improve your relationships, overcome challenges and defuse conflict.

The Counselling that I offer will be built around your needs, desires and areas of interest. I am looking to build a safe and trusting relationship where you can bring your whole self including the parts of you that possibly you hide away from others.
