- CARDIFF THERAPY FOR COUPLES, INDIVIDUALS & FAMILIES - 

TESTIMONIALS

Olwen is a remarkably thoughtful and insightful therapist. Families have been so complimentary about the support she has given them. She is able to engage and communicate with young people who have significant emotional health difficulties and her manner with them and their families is inspiring and a real delight. Her ability to use different therapeutic techniques based on the needs of the person in front of her, while also taking into consideration the latest evidence base, is wonderful to witness. I always enjoy conversations with Olwen about families and young people, especially when there are complex issues which require thought as to the best approach to take in order to help in any particular set of circumstances.

— Mairlis Davies, Highly Specialist Family Therapist
I worked in the same NHS team as Olwen and witnessed the ease with which she builds up a sense of collaboration and understanding with families and individuals. We deal with areas of high complexity, distress and ongoing change and Olwen deals with this in a flexible, professional, enormously kind and open way. She is excellent at encapsulating the emotional process that people are going through.

— Jo George, Systemic Psychotherapist and Senior Clinical Practitioner
It has been so difficult to find a therapist or recommendations in Cardiff so I feel it’s really important to write this review. Olwen is everything we were looking for in a psychotherapist; calm, professional and compassionate. She guides the sessions extremely well which clearly comes from years of experience. I would not hesitate in recommending Olwen to friends and family that may need her help.

Finding a therapist was so hard for me….there seemed to be so many different and confusing ‘types’ of therapy. Olwen put me at my ease straight away – I found her to be immensely kind, warm and supportive.
Olwen helped me make sense of my emotions. She’s a mix of very sophisticated thinking and very down to earth thinking at the same time
She helped all the family understand my depression better….
I really appreciated Olwen’s flexibility when we needed to arrange appointments around my ever changing work schedule.
Olwen helped me realise that I was repeating really unhelpful patterns. I wouldn’t have been able to change them without her support.
My husband and I eventually decided to separate but Olwen helped us achieve that with much less acrimony.
Olwen is insightful and empathic but also very emotionally challenging.
I’ve had conversations with her that I’ve never had with anybody else.
