You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to make sense of what’s going on for you. Perhaps you’ve spent a long time trying to cope, keep up with what’s expected of you, or understand why things that seem easy for other people can feel so difficult for you. I offer a warm, gentle space where you don't need to have everything figured out, find the 'right' words, or fit into a particular mould. Together, we can slow things down, make sense of your experiences and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

Hello! My name is Sebastyan Faemoore. I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), based in South Wales. I believe every person is doing the best they can with the tools they have. Sometimes those tools are not quite enough for the challenges they face. Given the right environment, time, and support, a person can develop new tools, grow, adapt, and learn to trust themselves again. That’s what I would hope to provide for you: a space where you can work out what tools you need, and what direction you want your life to take.

I can only imagine how hard it feels to reach out for help for yourself or your child; to want things to feel better and not know how to make it happen. This is what I can help you with. Maybe you or your child feel anxious all the time and just want to feel safe? Or perhaps you can't seem to get rid of that little voice inside that tells you you'll never be good enough? Maybe your child is struggling with understanding themselves and the world around them and you just want them to feel happy and safe? I understand that situations like these can feel overwhelming and I am passionate about helping people overcome them and feel better

You may find yourself repeating patterns you wish you could change, struggling with self-doubt, carrying the impact of difficult experiences, or simply feeling that life is harder than it needs to be. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what is happening beneath the surface. My role is not to tell you who you are or what you should do.

Culture constrains our growth and personal development. Conforming to social norms places immense pressure on us to please others and perform... so much so that we endure trauma, create defenses and make ourselves sick with worry trying to fit in with others' image of ourselves.

It is very human to have psychological difficulties at various points in our lives. Difficult things can happen to us leaving us feeling scared and/ or low/ depressed. Society can also make us feel pressurised to look a certain way and we can feel pretty worthless if don't believe that we conform to these societal expectations. All of these can be both frightening and overwhelming, which makes it so important to have a calm, compassionate and skilful therapist to guide you towards recovery.

How do I know if I need career counselling?
Determining whether a career counsellor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counselling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counsellor.

Who can benefit from career counselling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counselling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counselling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counsellor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counselling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.

How long does career counselling typically last?
The length of career counselling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counselling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counsellor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.

How to prepare for career counselling?
Clients can prepare for career counselling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counsellor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counsellor, particularly if the career counsellor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counselling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
