About me and my therapy practice

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.

Practice description

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. 

My first session

Before working with any client, I conduct an assessment. 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 assessment will take no longer than 30 minutes and is free of charge if conducted over the phone or online. If you would prefer the assessment to take place in person, I will charge £5 to cover the cost of the room.
