What to expect

Therapy offers a calm and consistent space to reflect more openly, explore difficulties at your own pace, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences.

Our work together is collaborative, thoughtful, and shaped around your individual needs.

How I work

As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on your needs and experiences.

My work is primarily relational and informed by attachment theory, psychodynamic thinking, neuroscience, emotion-focused work, and trauma-informed approaches, including trauma-focused CBT, where appropriate.

Rather than applying a fixed method, therapy is tailored to you as an individual and to the difficulties you are experiencing. This may include exploring emotional patterns, past experiences, nervous system responses, relationships, and ways of coping that have developed over time.

Alongside deeper exploratory work, I may also integrate more practical or psychoeducational elements where helpful, particularly around emotional understanding and regulation.

Starting therapy

In-person

Sessions take place in a private, comfortable setting in Bolton, Greater Manchester, offering a quiet space to talk and reflect without interruption.

Online

I offer online therapy across the UK via Zoom or Teams, providing a flexible and accessible way to work together from your own space.

Client experiences

  • “It’s hard to find the words to explain just how much counselling has helped me...

    My sessions with Rhian have completely transformed my work and personal life… I can’t say enough good things about Rhian, her patience and skill is phenomenal and she has helped me think and more importantly, feel very differently. At times I would joke with Rhian that she was using ‘magic’ as I would find emotions during the sessions that I had no idea I had.”

  • “The service I received was the best I have ever had...

    Throughout my life I have seen many therapists. On this occasion I cannot credit Rhian more. Her manner, etiquette and therapy has got me past a place where I was stuck at for 50 years. There were no time pressures to get better and I’m ready to start my new life.”

  • “Rhian’s approach to counselling was superb...

    She retained details well, understood my view, concerns and feelings, and gave useful insight on how to move forward. She was supportive during dark times and encouraging in good.”

  • “Rhian listened, to understand me, even when I didn't understand me...

    It took many weeks of thinking, talking to others, breathing exercises and my counselling sessions, to feel a bit more normal. Eventually, I got to understand some of the potential reasons for thinking the way I did and felt able to move on... The service I received was non-judgemental, patient, empathetic and kind. It was what I needed and has helped me. Thank you.”

  • “Rhian has been amazing with me and I can’t thank her enough...

    Her compassion and her caring nature has helped me so much and I know it’s her job to listen to me but she gained my trust so quickly, which allowed me to open up and address my issues better.”

  • “I had several sessions with Rhian and found it very helpful...

    Rhian was professional, yet kind and I felt able to share things with her openly in a non-judgemental environment. I found the counselling process quite tough, but felt supported throughout and was able to proceed at my pace, without pressure.”
