Alun Davies

I offer sessions during the afternoon and evenings on Weekdays. 

As a psychodynamic psychotherapist I help people develop personal insight and work towards a deeper sense of wholeness and connection. I work with clients in a collaborative manner, jointly building a picture of how your emotional self relates to your life, your relationships, and to wider society.

You might be here because you're struggling with depression, low self-esteem, intimacy issues or have an elusive feeling that something isn't right. Therapy can give you the space to talk freely about the things which trouble you and to explore the painful parts of your life in a supportive space.

I will listen to whatever you need to talk about without judgment and work with you to offer new perspectives which can be freeing and help you move towards the things we want in life.

I work with people from a range of backgrounds but have particular experience working with people from the LGBT+ community, including those with substance dependence issues. I also work in NHS community mental health settings.

I work with clients in person from my practice in Waterloo and also online.

I work with people weekly as I feel this is necessary to build the rhythm and trust needed for deeper forms of work.

Our first session is a chance for us meet and discuss the kind of work you wish to do. I will ask about your history, hopes and expectations from therapy, and you will be able to ask me questions and get a sense of what it will be like to work with me.

The initial session is usually quite structured and you will likely have a lot to tell me, in which case I may suggest we continue our introductory work into a second session.

I will go through the contract which covers confidentiality, payments, cancellation and holiday policy and will provide you with a copy to read in your own time as well.
