At times of feeling low or anxious we often think, “what’s the point of trying it won’t make any difference”, leading to feelings of depression, sadness, fear and tearfulness. This then leads to changes in our behaviour such as withdrawing from others or staying in bed as we mull things over in our heads which makes us feel worse. Additionally, past trauma issues can often leave us feeling overwhelmed or with experiences of flashbacks and nightmares. Relationship issues left unresolved often leave us with a sense of helplessness and relationship breakdown leave us feel confused. Does this sound familiar to you?

If you feel things deeply, overthink constantly, or often second guess yourself, it can be hard to feel settled in who you are. Maybe you’re your own worst critic, always pushing yourself to do better, to be more, or to keep things together for others. I work with people who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in self doubt, or disconnected from their own worth. Therapy can offer a space to understand what’s going on underneath and start building a more compassionate, steady relationship with yourself.

I am a friendly and supportive counsellor based in Canton, Cardiff. I work in a collaborative and flexible way and tailor my approach to your specific preferences and needs. It is important to me that you always feel in control of the process. While I can help guide our conversations, you are ultimately best placed to decide how to live your life. Good therapy should give you a fresh perspective on familiar struggles. While this process can be challenging at times, it should also be empowering and liberating and equip you with the strength and confidence you need to move closer towards the kind of life you wish to live.

I have helped clients with mild mental health issues such as general stress to higher needs such as schizophrenia and personality disorders. I would say my expertise lies mostly with anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues. I work with the clients goals in mind, at their own pace and ability. No two clients are the same and adjust my skills accordingly. Whether you’re looking for small changes in perspective, understanding or attitude, or you want a deeper more meaningful change in thinking, behaviour and habits I am willing to walk that journey with you.

Hi there. If you stopped here, that means that probably you are looking for some assistance, so I hope you will find this information useful when choosing the right support for your needs. Let me start asking you a question: What steps are you taking to ensure your emotional and psychological needs are satisfied? If you are struggling with saying no and ending up pleasing everybody but yourself, feel trapped and incapable to get rid of worries and anxiety or just overwhelmed with your current life situation then perhaps you are not meeting some of your needs. I can help you with that.

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

If you need a mental health reset, please keep reading. Talking openly to an active listener, and a complete stranger, can offer mental health relief, improve clarity, and develop self acceptance. We spend a lot of time in our own heads, often suppressing difficult thoughts or feeling like we're going round in circles. Speaking aloud can help to break the cycle.

I have over 20 years experience of working on all aspects of relationship issues; this can be on your own or as a couple. I also offer Psychosexual Treatment as a Tavistock Therapist: all available on-line or in person in Cardiff &Chepstow. I act as a confidential guide through what may be dividing your relationship or making you feel depressed. Changing what is keeping you emotionally distant or sexually disconnected is the goal. The complexity of maintaining intimacy or experiencing betrayal & rebuilding your relationship is complex but possible. From an Existential perspective the mistake we make in life is thinking we have time.

I am a person centred, trauma informed HCPC registered art therapist who offers a bespoke approach to art therapy sessions, meeting you where you are at and working together to establish your goals and the direction of therapy. You absolutely do not have to be good at art to benefit from art therapy. It is much more about the process of making and your experience of using the materials than the final product. Art making can be a bridge to communication where there are no words, a way of grounding and creating space for mindful reflection.

I'm Hannah and 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.

I offer both psychodynamic and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which complement each other so well. Psychodynamic counselling primarily allows for deep dives into your experiences both past and present, as the therapeutic relationship brings awareness of your unconscious self in a manageable way. ACT then builds upon this with much more active interventions, and these can guide you on the path to leading a life that is meaningful for you whilst also learning to embrace its inevitable pain. ACT teaches us that, through mindful action rooted in our core values, we can effectively navigate life's challenges and unwanted experiences.
