Hello

My name is Sylvia, and I am a qualified counsellor and member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I offer an open, honest and non-judgemental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings and emotions safely and without discrimination.

What I Offer

I offer a safe, confidential talking space where clients can develop a deeper understanding of their feelings, thoughts, situations and difficulties at their own pace. I support clients experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, trauma, grief, relationship issues and challenges with self-esteem.

Therapeutic Approach

As a person-centred and humanistic therapeutic counsellor, I work alongside individuals with respect for their own views, principles and values. I provide space for clients to explore what they may wish to change, understand or adjust to in their lives. I am also a REWIND Trauma Practitioner with the IARTT (International Association for Rewind Trauma Therapy), offering support to clients who have experienced trauma or PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). I can offer Brief Solution-Focused Therapy to clients with short-term goals, helping them focus on their needs.

Qualifications and Specialist Experience

I am a Cruse Bereavement Volunteer and understand the process of grief, and I am qualified to support individuals through a very difficult and vulnerable time of their lives.

Client Experience

Clients can expect to be treated equally, respectfully and with trust, helping them feel included and supported throughout their own therapeutic journey. You can expect an empathetic, honest, ethical and client-led therapeutic alliance that adheres to the BACP ethical framework.
 

Languages Offered

As a fluent Welsh and English speaker, I am happy to offer support in either language, depending on each client’s preference.

Closing Statement

I am passionate about helping individuals find the right support and solutions that feel appropriate for them, empowering them to move forward with greater confidence and self-understanding in a way that feels meaningful, manageable and true to their own needs.
