I specialise in Trauma, Relationships, Grief and Loss.
Hello, I'm Osian. I've been working in Mental Health for 10 years as a counsellor, supervisor and trainer. I support individuals and couples in-person and online through the medium of English and Welsh.
Sometimes we go through distressing, difficult confusing experiences. Day-to-day life can become a bit of a struggle, even relationships become strained. In therapy we can better understand you and your life experiences. By exploring and untangling these difficulties it's possible to make sense of them. This can bring about positive changes where broader perspectives and a deeper understanding that can bring about greater clarity.

I can support you with anxiety, trauma, PTSD/C-PTSD, grief and bereavement, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions.
Hi, I'm Kat. You may be someone who has spent years holding everything together, masking how you feel or putting others first. Perhaps you’re overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected or struggling after difficult or traumatic experiences. I offer a warm, accepting space where you don't have to pretend or have all the answers. Together, we can make sense of what you're going through and find a way forward that feels right for you, with a trauma-informed, neuro-affirmative and LGBTQIA+ affirmative approach.

When we meet, I will bring to our relationship my experience and expertise in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and loss.
I have trained as an integrative counsellor, and believe that therapy can help us evolve from surviving to thriving. I became a counsellor for many reasons, but fundamentally because of the powerful way in which counselling can help you take back control of your life story; tomorrow does not have to be like yesterday. I can offer you a calm space to explore what feels safe to you until you are ready and I will not make assumptions about the individual struggles you are going through. I work with the full belief that it is possible to find a way through your experiences and re-gain that sense of who you are.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
