Hi, I’m Hywel, a qualified Gestalt and integrative Counsellor offering online counselling and psychotherapy across the UK.
I have a particular interest in working with intergenerational trauma, social anxiety, identity and authenticity, as well as the long-term emotional and psychological effects of disabilities including Long Covid. I am Covid conscious and climate conscious.
I work with people feeling the lasting impact of traumatic experiences that have significant impacts upon mental health, such as feeling left out or isolated, discrimination and feelings of difference, anxiety and depression, low self-esteem or self-worth, and difficulty trusting others.
I help people with developing self-compassion, working through stuckness, healing from trauma, and finding a sense of agency.
I work exclusively online at present via Zoom, with adults 18 and over. I live in Birmingham, West Midlands, but as I work remotely, I can offer you sessions wherever you live in the UK, be that a big city like London or Leeds, or a more rural location. It also means that you do not need to factor in the time or cost of travelling.
What I offer
I am a firm believer that, over and above the particular type of therapy that is used, it is the therapeutic relationship that the client and the counsellor build up between them, that is crucial to the process and to the ultimate success of therapy.
I offer an initial free 20-minute discovery call for you to ask any questions you may have, and for us to assess whether we would be a good match to work together. If we do decide to go ahead with counselling, I offer sessions online via Zoom video meetings. The number of sessions needed is not fixed, and depends on your issues, your goals, and your preferred way of working together.
I decided to train as a therapist because of the great value I found from being in therapy myself. I am qualified in Gestalt Therapy, having trained at the Gestalt Centre in London, and I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). I am also currently completing a qualification in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach.

If you have any questions about working with me, or would like to book a free, 20-minute discovery call, please fill out this form and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
