I offer face to face and online therapy.  

I am located in Cardiff located just off Newport Road, and can provide free parking and easy accessibility.

My availability is flexible and I will do my utmost to accommodate and work around you.

Early mornings are my favourite time of day and I am more than happy to run early sessions any day of the week or weekend from 0500 onwards for those of you who like me are awake at crazy o'clock.

Hi, I'm Jax...

I am a warm and friendly therapist who offers a non-judgemental, supportive, and caring approach to counselling, sometimes even a bit of laughter, creativity, and fun, helping you to explore whatever is important to you.​

Life brings many transitions and challenges and whatever it may be that is bringing you to counselling our sessions will provide you with the time and space to help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, so you can develop a better understanding of yourself, others, and the world around you.

​You might know exactly what you want to work on or, there may be so many different areas you quite simply don’t know where to start. I am here to be with you whilst you figure out for yourself what you need. 

I currently work with two mental health charities which I absolutely love, whilst always continuing on my own personal therapy journey.

There is no right or wrong way to show up for counselling. In my own personal experience I have had sessions where I have cried, swore, made jokes and laughed outrageously loudly. Other sessions I have said almost nothing.​

Counselling isn’t only for the tough stuff, it can also be a place of celebration of achievements, hopes and dreams for the future, and pretty much anything else that is on your mind and you want to talk about, I am here to listen.​

So, I work integratively which means I have been trained in different theories so I can adapt to client needs, preferences, and personalities.  I strongly believe however that finding the right therapist for you is absolutely key for effective counselling and personal growth.

The foundation of my training is in person-centred therapy and this is where my passion truly lies.  It is a wonderful approach that is all about you - your story, your pace, and your goals. It is a gentle and supportive approach that is based on the idea that you already have the tools inside you to grow, heal, and find your way forward. Sometimes, you just need the right space and the right support to help you access them.  

I won’t tell you what to do or try to "fix" things for you. Instead, I’ll listen closely, without judgement, and offer a safe, respectful space where you can explore what’s going on.

​I will check in with you regularly on how you are finding the sessions and, at any time, please feel free to provide feedback so I can ensure the sessions are working for you.

There is absolutely no obligation on the number of sessions you have, everyone is different, you can have as little or as many as you feel you need.

The first session can sometimes be a bit all over the place as we get to know each other, and I fully appreciate it can sometimes feel a bit nerve-wracking.  You are not alone here however, it can also feel that way for me too which, I think is totally normal when meeting someone new.

​​My personal counselling journey started at a very young age and continues to this day so, I truly do know what it feels like being on the other side.

This session will be kept relatively light whilst we explore your reasons for coming to counselling, and what you may be hoping to get from it.  

If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to reach out.  You can contact me directly via the Íø±¬ÃÅ Website or via email at: JaxCounselling@protonmail.com
