Breathe - Gofal Cymru
About us
We have a large team of experienced counsellors who can work with people facing all kinds of challenges. You may have had a diagnosis or be struggling with anxiety, depression, low mood, loss, bereavement, OCD, addiction, trauma, PTSD or other mental health difficulties.
Talking therapy can provide:
- A safe, non-judgemental space to talk
- The opportunity to process your thoughts, behaviours and feelings
- Strategies to cope during difficult times
- Ways to challenge and manage unhelpful thoughts
- Help to find ways to move forward and achieve your goals
Breathe counsellors can work with individuals, couples, families and young people age 7 plus. Our counsellors are registered with either BACP, UKCP or a similar accrediting body meaning they’ve met the required professional standards to practice.
As well as English many of our qualified counsellors can speak a diverse range of languages including Bengali, German, Greek, Hindi, Norwegian, Polish, Urdu and Welsh.
Breathe is part of Platfform the charity for mental health and social change. All our profits are reinvested into Platfform to support community projects.
Training, qualifications & experience
Our counsellors are qualified, and all are registered with either BACP or UKCP.
Member organisations *
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Further information
The first step is to complete and return a referral form. From this we will invite you in for an assessment with our Lead Counsellor. At the assessment we’ll talk if counselling is appropriate, the number of recommended sessions and we’ll link you with a counsellor - best suited to your needs.
