Why People Seek Counselling in Cardiff
Life in a busy city like Cardiff can be exciting—but also overwhelming. Whether you’re juggling work demands, experiencing burnout, managing relationship struggles, or navigating a loss, it’s completely human to need support.
As a Cardiff counsellor, I regularly support people who are:
Struggling with anxiety or low mood
Dealing with grief or significant life changes
Feeling stressed or disconnected in their work or relationships
Looking to reconnect with themselves or make a life decision
You don’t have to wait until things reach crisis point. Counselling offers space to slow down and explore what’s going on — at your own pace.
What Happens in a Counselling Session?
Every therapist works differently, and no two sessions are exactly the same. In my practice, I use an integrative approach — combining different methods tailored to each individual. As someone who believes the client is the expert in their own life, my role is to support you in reconnecting with your inner strengths and clarity. I don’t offer advice or tell you what to do — but I do offer warmth, understanding, and a safe space to talk things through. You can read more about my therapeutic approach below
