My approach is integrative, drawing on existential and psychoanalytic perspectives.
Hi, I'm Angharad. I offer a gentle, safe, and confidential space where you can explore whatever’s on your mind - whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating relationship challenges, processing grief, or simply sensing that something doesn’t feel quite right in your life.
Many people come to see me after having tried more structured therapies like CBT wanting something deeper that gets to the root of their difficulties. Rather than offering tools and coping strategies, I help you work through the emotional and relational patterns beneath your struggles which leads to lasting change through deepening self-understanding.

I am interested in working with complex emotional and relational difficulties and trauma, supporting people to heal from the lasting impact of adverse experiences and to move towards recovery and fulfil their potential. I am also passionate about improving access to services for marginalised populations. Over time, my professional and personal journey has shaped how I view emotional distress. Rather than asking “what is wrong with you?”, I ask “what has happened to you?”. This shift allows me to see beyond presenting problems to the person behind the distress. It also enables me to bring kindness and compassion into my work.

Welcome - I'm a counsellor who specialises in supporting individuals struggling with anxiety and depression, as well as couples looking to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their connection. Therapy is about change, but we don't always know how to make that change, and the process can often feel uncomfortable and even scary. You may need to explore painful experiences from your past that you have tucked away in "boxes" or your beliefs that influence your behaviour. Together, at your pace, we will gently unpack those boxes so you can make sense of your experiences and move forward in a meaningful way.

Considering therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. Sometimes it’s not easy to name what’s wrong—only that something doesn’t feel quite right...

I'm a Counselling Psychologist offering a psychoanalytic and relational informed approach.
You might find yourself stuck in familiar patterns - giving more than you get, feeling unseen, or questioning if you're ever truly "enough". Maybe you keep things going on the outside, while inside you feel lonely and overwhelmed. Perhaps you're tired of feeling stuck in ways you can't explain, yet unsure how to shift it. These patterns often have deep roots in early experiences such as trauma, emotional neglect, inconsistent care, family issues, or growing up with violence or abuse. Even when there are no words, your body still remembers - this can lead to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, and relationship difficulties.

Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
