About me
Hi, I'm Rhys, and thanks for reading.
Helo, Rhys ydw I, a diolch am ddarllen.
I am a registered member of the BACP, practicing Transactional Analysis psychotherapy and Trauma focused therapy.
Starting therapy, or with a new therapist can be difficult but the fact that you are reading this, displays a great amount of strength and willingness to improve the quality of your life.
A bit about me:
I have several years experience working as a psychotherapist, with 5 years of study prior to training. This includes not for profit sector, social care sector and have a small private practice where I offer online therapy, outdoor therapy and face to face sessions in English or Welsh language.
I receive regular personal therapy and clinical supervision to ensure I continue to remain in a reflective and helpful position to all clients.
I am from a rural background, in North Wales. Prior to a career change in my mid 20s, I worked in construction and agriculture. Since then, I have gained experience working in emergency services and the social care sector, giving me a broad range of experience in understanding nuances of subcultures.
I am also a keen traveller and language enthusiast. I am especially interested in how our first language impacts the way we view ourselves.
I offer a free 15 minute consultation for each new client so please get in touch to enquire.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered member of the BACP, trained in Transactional Analysis. I decided upon Transactional analysis as in my opinion, it offers a way of working cognitively, relationally, humanistically and psychodynamically; all of which is dependent on the clients needs.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
