In Person Counselling in Haverfordwest

What informs my practice is a concern for respecting and valuing difference and the importance of caring communication in all relationships. We work together to bring about your own awareness of what needs to change in order move on in your life. Sometimes we are overwhelmed at what is happening to us, or we feel we have no control over our own lives. We can explore new ways of understanding ourselves and our relationships so that we can influence or even change our future. My approach is to work in collaboration with you. I am not the expert in your life, you are, but we can both bring our knowledges and expertise into the relation

I'm Carrie-ann, a qualified counsellor who focuses on finding out your needs and tailoring your therapy to match. Asking for support is never an easy task and often the hardest step we take. Making small changes to put yourself first, will have a positive impact on your wellbeing . The key to self development rests within our own self belief, resilience and internal reassurance. If we have a solid core and good foundations, it's easier to take on life's difficulties. I work with helping people build upon the strength in knowing who they are, in order to empower and build confidence.

Hello! I am a qualified and experienced counsellor available to clients who recognise they are ready to talk and seek help with making sense of their lived experience and understanding their emotions, behaviours and reactions to life’s challenges.

My Aim is to focus on your needs and to work ethically and collaboratively to help to assist in moving you to a more comfortable and manageable space, and to provide techniques to help you to cope in troubled situations

I work in a very individually tailored way, I believe in the healing potential within each person and my focus is upon building a strong therapy relationship to facilitate support, awareness, insight and personal growth towards changes. I have over 17 years experience working with adolescents, parents and professionals . I work with a number of clients dealing with trauma, anxiety , depression and bereavement and loss . Other issues I work with include relationships, self-esteem, post-natal depression , transition and changes , divorce, separation . Adolescent and young adult issues include body image, eating disorders, depression.

With twenty years experience and constant study for personal and professional development , I can offer a safe and effective therapeutic space for you to explore and heal from a wide range of life issues . We discuss your objectives for therapy and use a range of therapeutic tools including simple psychoeducation so you understand the process,which I believe enables personal understanding and clarity . My goal for every client is long term sustainable change in the most effective way possible , and I keep that in mind for every individual with whom I am privileged to work with. I also offer supervision

All of us, at times, need somewhere safe to talk and be listened to. I provide therapy to both couples and individuals aged 18+. If you feel anxious, unhappy in your life or if you are going through a major life event, I offer a space for you to gain understanding of why you are feeling the way you are and how to move on or change old habits and patterns. I can help you safely explore your past and how it has influenced your present and help you find ways to start changing your future.

You are probably feeling very upset, alone and confused, maybe even ashamed and wondering if counselling could help? Everyone who comes to therapy has a unique set of issues but the underlying need to share the distress and be understood, is true for everyone. If you are struggling with parenting, postnatal depression, miscarriage or your identity during a life transition, you are not alone. I have lots of experience working with women (and men) who are struggling with life and want to feel better than they currently do. I also help younger people and teens who may have self esteem issues, feel sad, anxious or be self harming.

With more than 20 years’ experience working in the NHS, I work with people from a wide range of backgrounds and complexity. I have a great deal of experience in health psychology, including: cancer care, weight management including obesity (i.e. emotional eating; binge eating), low self-esteem, anxiety and depression as well as living with ill health and adjusting to life following injury, including brain injury, palliative care, bereavement and improving health. Together, we would work to develop a shared understanding of your strengths and difficulties, drawing on a range of therapy models, tailored to your specific needs.
