Psychotherapy Ammanford

I use my experience and skills as a psychotherapist, to help you alleviate your distress, no matter what your age or problem. I specialise in counselling children in Carmarthenshire and teen therapy in Ammanford and surrounding areas, I also counsel adults and offer parent support. My adult counselling is emotion-focused. With youngsters I use creative and playful talking therapy. I help explore your difficulties and find out what can help to deepen your self - understanding, increase your confidence and reduce your difficulties. I practice in my lovely therapy lodge, set in an easily accessible, beautiful rural location, at my home near Llandeilo. It is fully resourced for ages from 6+yrs.

Over the years I have gained a significant amount of experience in alleviating distress, through my individual work in private practice, and for patients in GP surgeries within the NHS. I have a proven record of delivering effective help to all ages so that they can find an acceptable resolution to those issues or problems that are causing distress, including anxiety, low self-esteem, OCD, anger management and loneliness. I am also a parent of three children, all now grown up, and have experienced fully both the joys and difficulties of parenting, which have led me to develop my skills also in helping parents who are struggling.

Online therapy

I use Zoom and have had significant experience in working online effectively. The aim of my counselling work with every client, regardless of age, is to put you at ease, increase you emotional resilience, strengthen relationships and ease your way forward, gently and with enjoyment, as quickly as possible. I focus on the cause and impact of your distress and create a shared plan to bring about positive difference. Most clients see positive changes within a few weeks.

Counselling is a partnership and the most important factor in ensuring counselling makes a positive difference is that both feel they can trust each other, regardless of age. Therefore, my practice is sensitive to the needs of all individuals, offering a warm and safe space for you to explore your story and support you non judgementally on your way forward.

Specialisations and Expertises

In our first meeting, we get to know each other a little, then together we identify what you want me to help you with, and we use that to guide our work together in the weeks to come, so that you are able to enjoy your life more without the burden of the troubling feelings and thoughts you were experiencing.

My training with adults is in Emotion-Focused Therapy, which I have found wonderful in really helps clients find the root cause of their struggles in order to address them. My practice draws on an integrative model, which means I work in a variety of ways in order to tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, whatever they may be. I attend regular supervision and professional training so that I can ensure the help I give you is really effective and evidence based. With children I use therapeutic play and creativity, helping them make sense of and manage understand troubling feelings, and involve parents in this process. With teens I combine all of the above.
