About Rhian
I’m Rhian, a qualified and registered counsellor, based in the UK in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. I appreciate what it’s like to feel stuck in a cycle of striving, constantly doing, and giving, yet never seemingly feeling quite enough.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent years in a busy corporate career where I appeared capable on the outside but felt anxious, burnt out and disconnected on the inside. Counselling was the first space where I didn’t have to pretend. It allowed me to be honest, to slow down and begin listening to myself in a way I hadn’t before. That process helped me rediscover who I was beneath all the noise and expectation and that is what inspired me to retrain as a counsellor.
I don’t come to this work as an expert with all the answers, I come as someone who hears how hard it can be to ask for support and who believes deeply in the impact of being truly heard and accepted.
It can feel daunting to seek counselling and there may be worries around this for you. If you have any questions or would like to explore whether counselling with me feels right for you, you're welcome to get in touch.
Qualifications & Experience
My qualifications include, a CPCAB Level 2 and 3 Certificate in Counselling and a level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I am also a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). My training is in Person-Centred therapy, which helps me offer a calm, respectful and supportive space for you to explore whatever you're carrying.
I am deeply committed to my ongoing learning and growth, beyond my current qualifications. I regularly engage in continuing professional development, reflective supervision and additional training to keep my practice informed, ethical and responsive to clients I support.
I currently see clients in both private practice and through volunteering with a local charity, where I’ve supported people with a range of life’s challenges and emotional experiences. My ongoing experience continues to remind me of the courage it takes to begin counselling and the real impact that feeling heard and accepted can have.
