Dorothy Bere

My working days are Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays 9am - 7pm.

Shwmae / Hello

My name is Dorothy 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 am a person centred therapist, which means my therapy is non-directive and client led. I will not tell you what to do, and will work with you so that you find the best way to help yourself.

I have gained a lot of my counselling experience from being a volunteer counsellor at New Pathways, a charity providing support for people who have experienced sexual violence. Through this work, I have helped people manage trauma by using the Babette Rothschild method of working safely with trauma. Through this work I have also worked a lot with young adults. I also have experience of working with bereavement with a wide range of ages. 

Rwy hefyd yn siarad Cymraeg ac yn hapus i gynnal ein sesiynau trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.

I offer online, telephone or in person sessions. In-person sessions are held from an office in the centre of Carmarthen Town. Please note that in-person therapy will cost an additional £5 to cover the cost of the room.

I am happy to work weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on your needs. 

Before working with any client, I will invite you to free introductory session. This is a chance for us to get to know each other a little bit before deciding to work together. It gives you as the client the opportunity to ask any questions and to tell me a little about why you want counselling and your expectations of it. It also gives me the opportunity to see whether I can meet your needs and whether I can work with you safely. If I do not think I am the right counsellor to meet those needs, I will refer you to an organisation or individual who can. The introductory session will take no longer than 30 minutes and is free of charge.
