Counselling in Glamorgan

My name is Andreia-Marisa Carvalho and I am a Clinical Psychologist with the objective of facilite the way where you can find your own resources to enhance your personal development because like a human being you have the ability to be resilient and obtain the changes in your behaviour. The therapy will be mainly focused on the clinical approach where your individuality and integrity are protected. You can benefit from the therapy in different issues such as parenting, maternity, child and adolescent behaviour, older adults, racial identity and migratory bereavement.

Are you feeling lost and unheard ?, unable to cope with everyday challenges that once were not a problem for you ?. Maybe your personal circumstances have changed and you have had to leave an environment that felt like family. We are not always equipped to deal with what life throws at us, and can feel unable to let others know that we are struggling. Counselling offers a safe place where you can feel heard and understood and through exploration find an understanding of your circumstances and feel supported and encouraged along the way.

As a therapist working in South West Wales, I specialize in face-to-face therapy, as well as seeing clients online, either for the short-term, or long-term, where sessions are open-ended. Whatever has brought you to counselling, together we will work to empower you to discover yourself and find solutions, as needed.

Hi my name is Lindsey, I am an accredited Counsellor with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have been in practice since 2012. I work with adults experiencing a range of issues including generalised anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relationship issues with partners or their families, PTSD, panic attacks, loss and bereavement. I offer a FREE 10 minute phone consultation. If you decide to have counselling with me, we will establish what you wish to achieve from counselling and we will work together in sessions to set a direction in moving forward towards your goal.

You may be somebody with mild to moderate mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and/or stress. These may be long-standing or more recent, for example reactions to challenging circumstances in the present or more recent past. You will be motivated and willing to engage actively in your own recovery and self-awareness. While I do not have an ideal client - I have worked with a range of clients in a number of settings including the NHS and Employee Assistance Providers - I do find it very rewarding and interesting to work with the body and creative approaches, and particularly welcome clients open to working in this way.

I have many years of experience as a Counsellor and Hypnotherapist and I know that the reason you are even reading this is because you or someone you know needs help. How do we start? A simple chat, either over the phone or online. We will discuss your worries or issues and together work out the best way forward. This may be just one method or a combination of therapies. You will be in control of this and it can be changed as we progress, I offer this in a safe, confidential and non judgemental environment. Many of my clients choose to split sessions into 1/2hr Counselling and 1/2hr Hypnotherapy.

Stressed out? Burnt out? Overwhelmed? Perhaps you feel like you’re only just coping, and would like to develop more resilience to help you manage all the things you have in your life? You are welcome, whatever the reason that brings you here. I am particularly interested in working with people who are affected by birth and adoption, issues around race and ethnicity, LGBTQIA+, climate anxiety, relationships and issues of belonging. If you're interested in exploring your deep patterns and motivations in a relational way, and are ready to have a go, then working with me may be just what you need.

I support adults from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. I work affirmatively with the LGBTQIplus community and I am an LGBTQplus ally. Sessions are offered face to face as well as via Zoom, telephone and outdoors. I work with (but not limited to) trauma, bereavement, depression, anxiety, sexual and domestic violence, self-harm, relationship issues, stress and identity, including low self-esteem. I will be by your side to understand where you want to go, who you want to be and how to get there; focusing on what matters to you, offering new perspectives, gentle challenges and an opportunity to feel lighter.

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.

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

I became a counsellor because I care about people, and want to make a positive difference to their lives. I want to enable you to discover a better way of living and coping, no matter what life throws at you. I am a warm and compassionate therapist whose focus is on my clients, listening to their problems and concerns without judgement in a supportive environment. Your first session many people feel some anxiety when seeking counselling help and so it may be a challenge for you to make that first phone call or to send the first email. Please be reassured that putting you at ease is a priority ,

Do you need a safe confidential place to speak openly, with someone neutral and non-judgemental? You may be looking to make some changes, or have a dilemma to talk through. Maybe you've lost a loved one or pet, feel isolated or stressed, or have a problem that's preventing you from moving forward. I work to understand things from your viewpoint, and to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. I listen, understand, accept, and believe, and appreciate that talking about feelings is difficult. Being interactive means that you'll get much more than 'hmms' and 'uh-huhs' from me.

Life can feel very heavy at times, unexpected events can flaw us and day to day pressures can get to us too. I can offer you a safe space to explore whatever it is that's troubling you. I am available for face to face appointments as well as appointments over Zoom, or over the phone.

Experienced in counselling adults, children/adolescents, I am an Integrative therapist able to tailor my approach to your individual needs. The therapy I provide will be individual to you, not just theoretically; but also in the way we work together. We can achieve this by using talking therapy and/or creative therapy, it is completely your choice. I work collaboratively where together we will explore your goals and discuss how best to help you, you will not be alone. Exploration of the difficulties you face can encourage new perspectives, enabling you to move forward with increased insight, promoting acceptance and change.

Life can be dark and confusing at times, it is understandable to feel lonely, low, scared or hopeless. Whatever our reason for going to therapy, it’s about having someone listen; to our fears, anxieties, losses and, our hopes and joys. I offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore these difficulties and gain a deeper understanding and connection to yourself. Alongside a talking therapy space I also offer creative psychotherapy/dramatherapy and environmental art therapy.

As an experienced integrative counsellor I see clients come into therapy for many reasons from experiencing crisis, to feeling alone or feeling generally unhappy with their lives. Understanding the client need or goals allows me to use different approaches or techniques that are the most benefit to the client. As a counsellor I offer a safe non judgemental space allowing the client to explore and identify underlying causes and gain new insights into the way the client is feeling bringing about individual change and a more positive way of being.
