Hello, I'm Rhiannon, a psychodynamic counsellor with a background in the creative arts. I see counselling as a creative process and am continually struck by the mind's remarkable ability to find inventive ways to protect us, sometimes serving us well, and sometimes leaving us feeling stuck in patterns that no longer help. I became a counsellor because I wanted to help people who are suffering and support them in finding relief from emotional pain. What my work has taught me, however, is that lasting change and healing don't come from something I give to you; they come from within you. My role is to provide a safe, thoughtful space where you can better understand yourself and facilitate your own growth and change.

With all honesty, there were many reasons why I decided to become as a counsellor but a big part of it was because I had to partake in my own personal therapy as part of the training. I had wanted to try therapy for a while but there was always a reason not to do it, time, money, and not feeling quite ready to face things. So, I know what it’s like to be in your shoes, to feel uncertain and have so many questions. What I can tell you is that therapy helped me a great deal and that experience motivated me to help others on their own journey.

To find out more about what I offer and hopefully answer some of the questions that I know I had when first thinking about counselling, please see the ‘What to Expect’ section below.
