Counselling with Aileen

Counselling and Psychotherapy for Children, Teenagers and Adults in Carmarthenshire, West Wales

Compassionate, professional support for anxiety, stress, low mood, emotional difficulties and life’s challenges – available online and in person near Ammanford and Llandeilo.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, whether you’re seeking help for yourself, your child or your teenager. My aim is to provide a warm, safe and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, feel heard and begin to make sense of what you’re experiencing.

I am an Emotion-Focused Psychotherapist for adults and a qualified counsellor for children and teenagers. I specialise in helping people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted or are struggling with difficult life experiences and transitions.

Is your child struggling with anxiety, low confidence, friendships, school pressures or overwhelming emotions? Are you a parent feeling worried and unsure how best to help?

I understand how difficult it can be to watch your child struggle or to feel overwhelmed by your own emotions. My role is to offer a safe, compassionate space where you or your child can feel truly heard, understood and supported to create meaningful, lasting change.

I can help with:

  • Anxiety and worry
  • Low mood and depression
  • School-related stress and exam anxiety
  • Friendship difficulties and bullying
  • Low self-esteem and confidence
  • Emotional regulation and anger
  • Family changes, separation and loss
  • Stress, overwhelm and burnout
  • Life transitions and relationship difficulties
  • Feeling stuck or struggling to cope

Together, we’ll gently explore the thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be causing distress and work towards building emotional resilience, self-understanding and lasting positive change. Therapy is tailored to your individual needs and age and delivered at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my warm, approachable nature and ability to help them feel at ease from the very first session. Many begin to notice positive changes within just a few weeks.

I offer affordable, confidential counselling and psychotherapy sessions online and face to face, serving clients from Ammanford, Carmarthenshire and across West Wales.

Therapy takes place in my peaceful, private Therapy Lodge near Llandeilo, offering a calm and welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable, safe and supported from the moment you arrive.

I believe emotional support should be accessible and offer competitively priced sessions to make therapy available to as many people as possible.

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. With the right support, things can feel different.

What to expect

No matter what your age, I believe in your right to find happiness, courage and comfort in your life. Kindness is everything.

Emotion Focused Psychotherapy for adults

This approach puts emotions at the heart of everything. Positive change occurs when troubling feelings are fully explored and transformed into more helpful responses.

Playful therapy for children

I listen and give children a safe space to talk about whatever worries they have. Using play, creative and emotion processing activities, I help them find what they need to feel better about their lives.

Talking therapy for teenagers

I use talking therapy and often simple therapy activities to help empower young people to understand why they are struggling and what they need.

Parenting support

When appropriate, I may also offer parents supportive signposting and information that can help them better understand and support their child.

Testimonials from a few clients I have had the privilege of helping

Over many years I have had the opportunity to help many, many people, of all ages. Every client I have worked with has enriched my own life in some way. I am grateful beyond measure for all those come to me.

My daughter received counselling from Aileen a while and the quality of care she provided was exceptional. The sessions had a noticeably positive impact and my daughter spoke very highly of her throughout. I highly recommend Aileen’s services to any parent seeking compassionate, skilled therapeutic support for their child.

A grateful parent of a 13 yr old

Aileen is a warm kind caring person. She has the ability to make you open up to your anxiety and find ways of coping with it. I personally have experienced a lot of grief over the past few years. Attending sessions with Aileen has cleared my mind and restored the confidence I had lost. I would highly recommend her to assist you too, if you are in a difficult or dark place. I can’t thank her enough

A client struggling with bereavement 56 yrs of age

He loves coming to see you, and we have seen a big difference in him. We’re more than happy to continue with the sessions for as long as you both feel it is needed. Seeing his smile as he arrives and leaves your sessions really means a lot!

Parent of a 9 yr old
