About Me / Amdanaf i

Hello, my name is Dorothy and I am a qualified counsellor. I am a registered member of BACP and  I offer therapeutic counselling to anyone who needs a safe space to explore issues and emotions that may be overwhelming or difficult to manage. I have particular experience of delivering safe, trauma focused therapy, as well as bereavement counselling. I am a fluent Welsh speaker and can offer our sessions through the medium of Welsh if this is more comfortable for you. I can work online, over the telephone or in-person from an office in Carmarthen.

As well as being a counsellor, I also run a smallholding, enjoy craft work and play music. I find that being outside in nature and creative expression is as beneficial as traditional therapy and do not underestimate the positive effect that nature and creativity has on mental health overall and wellbeing.

Please get in touch if you think we would work well together.
