I can help you to identify and highlight areas which are causing you difficulties and help you to develop new ways of thinking, coping and behaving in order to deal with problems and issues, pursue goals and manage the process of change. It is possible for things to shift and for a sense of well-being to re-emerge.

I specialise in working with children/young people and adults utilising techniques like cognitive-behavioural therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction, but my main focus is always on building a strong, supportive relationship with my clients.
Warm welcome to my profile. My name is Rhys and I am an Integrative therapist and supervisor, helping people find their path to mental health and well-being for over 10 years. My approach is all about working together authentically and collaboratively with my clients, listening to their unique and wonderful stories, and finding solutions that work for them. It's not easy reaching out for help and the fact that you are here I can only imagine has taken you a lot of bravery to show up here which is commendable. I offer a safe space to allow clients the opportunity to explore and reflect deeply in a non-judgemental environment.

When married, or when children are involved, these problems become even more complex.
For individuals I can help with anxiety, stress, depression, personality disorders, trauma and much more. I am a qualified EMDR therapist and I have a good understanding of work place issues. From my experience, increasing your awareness to what has led to problems, and understanding how this has shaped the issues you have, helps us to work to a solution.

Having worked with men, women and children, I feel I have a vast level of experience and knowledge to work with a number of issues that clients bring.
Life happens, and the majority of the time we seem to find a way to "happen" with it. We find a way to navigate through the motions of "doing" and get to a place of "being". Being excited, being present, being happy - but sometimes along the way it can get confusing, blurry and we can feel a bit lost. As a certified counsellor, I work with you through the confusion, to get to a place of clarity. I explore the past and present with you using an integrated therapeutic approach - blending the different skills I've learnt in practice to assist you with where you are right now. Many therapists talk about the varying styles of therapy

I have 22 years of working with children/ family.
SERVICES I PROVIDE: Like all forms of therapy, integrative therapy requires that you are open to exploring your fears, your hopes, your life, what is causing you challenges, and what you hope for your future. But if you like the idea of a therapy which is a bit more bespoke and less rigid than other forms, then integrative therapy might indeed be for you. Would you like to try this type of therapy?

Sometimes outwardly we look like we are getting on with life and functioning just fine, but inside it can feel very different. Are you feeling stuck or alone, not managing in your relationships with others? Perhaps you need space to discuss confusing thoughts and emotions you can't understand and the conflicts that cause you distress.

Hello, looking for support is often the most difficult step forward. Most clients want to feel happier and to understand more about the root causes of the issues that are holding them back from living their life to the full. Building an understanding of the problems is a powerful tool to overcoming challenges and to manage better. Over time, working through confusing emotional states, behaviours or thoughts with a trusted professional can lead to feeling more whole - to feeling comfortable and good about who we are. Having acceptance for who we are and being authentically ourselves is a wonderful goal for all of us.

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?

Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How long are sessions with child therapists?

Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.

How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?

The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?

A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
