''Thanks again for all your help and support this year. You have made a huge difference...'' (see 'Reviews'). Please see 'More' for my pages in Welsh. 

​

I'm Elise, an experienced, integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with an MSc in Counselling, and previous Therapist with the NHS and Ty Gobaith (North Wales Hospice for Children and Young People). I work with children, adults of all ages, neurodiversity and in couple counselling.

​

I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and abide by their Ethical Framework. Professional public indemnity insurance is held, I have an advanced DBS, have regular, robust supervision, and attend regular (CPD) courses and activities to ensure I keep all my skills and knowledge up to date. I follow all the current GDPR recommendations making sure you feel safe and secure knowing that your personal information is being handled and stored correctly. I work in person from Caernarfon, N Wales and am fully qualified to work online.

​

I work with clients presenting difficulties including low self-esteem, low confidence, stress, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, self-harm as well as loss, betrayal, relationship issues and bereavement. I am uniquely skilled with an extensive degree of experience in treating Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, Panic Disorders, Trauma, Sexual Abuse and Addiction issues. 

​

In a private, non-judgmental, and safe space you will be heard, valued and accepted. During our time together, I will try to listen to you deeply and to reflect back to you the questions and answers that you are formulating about your life and about your difficulties so that you can see yourself in new and more nuanced ways. I try to help you make contact with parts of yourself that may have become disconnected and to illuminate patterns hidden to you.

​

The World Health Organisation now recommends ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and not CBT for stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Mindfulness is just one of ACT's 6 skills. I continually see how my clients, some of whom have been struggling for years with chronic anxiety, health and social phobias, OCD's and depression benefit enormously from ACT alongside my combined, up-to-date and informed approach. 

​

If by learning about my work from this site you think I might be the right therapist for you, I look forward to hearing from you.

FEES: Individual sessions are £40 and for couple counselling, £60.
