A Space to Explore, Heal and Grow

Life can feel overwhelming. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, navigating relationship difficulties, processing trauma, or feeling disconnected from yourself, you don't have to face these challenges alone.

I'm Rosie Freeman, a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience understanding the connection between body, mind and wellbeing. Before training as a counsellor, I worked as a Shiatsu practitioner and in Mental Health support roles, developing a deep understanding of holistic wellbeing.

My approach is grounded in person-centred therapy — together, we'll create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore what you're experiencing, uncover strengths you may not have realised you had, and develop greater clarity and confidence.

My approach to therapy

Every person is unique, so I adapt my approach to what works best for you. At the heart of my practice is a belief that you have your own inner wisdom and resources — even when it doesn't feel that way.

My role isn't to tell you what to do or fix your problems. Instead, I provide a warm, accepting space where you feel truly heard and understood.

01

Person-Centred Foundation

I help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom. I won't tell you what to do— instead, I'll walk alongside you in a warm, accepting space where you feel truly heard.

02

Body-Informed Understanding

My 20 years as a shiatsu practitioner informs my understanding of how stress and trauma affect the body. I may invite you to notice physical sensations when appropriate—particularly helpful for anxiety or when you feel stuck.

03

Trauma-Informed Care

I draw on evidence-based approaches, prioritising safety and stability before gradually processing difficult memories—only when you feel ready.

The Rewind Technique

If a specific distressing memory keeps intruding on your daily life — through intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, or a phobia that traces back to that event — the Rewind Technique may help. It's designed to bring relief from trauma without you needing to talk through the details of what happened — sometimes described as "closure without disclosure."

Rewind uses guided imagery and relaxation to help your mind process a distressing memory differently, so it stops being triggered by everyday reminders — while your ability to recall the event when you choose to stays intact.

What to expect

Rewind is a brief piece of work, usually completed in 1–4 sessions.

  • Initial session — up to 90 minutes. We'll talk through what's troubling you, and you'll complete an Impact of Events Scale questionnaire, which helps us understand your symptoms and track your progress.
  • Follow-up — around two weeks later, to see how you're doing and whether anything further would help.
  • Rewind can be used on its own, or combined with regular counselling if you'd like ongoing support alongside it.

If you think Rewind might help you, get in touch for a free consultation and we can talk through whether it feels like the right approach.

Current Fees

Sessions last 50 minutes. A free 20-minute consultation is available with no obligation. Limited reduced-fee spaces may be available if cost is a barrier.

Your questions, answered

If you don't find what you're looking for, please get in touch — I'm happy to have a conversation.

Counselling can help if you're experiencing emotional distress, feeling stuck, struggling with relationships, dealing with past trauma, or simply wanting to understand yourself better. If you're unsure, I offer a free 20-minute consultation where we can discuss your situation and whether therapy might be helpful.
We'll discuss what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain. I'll explain how I work and go through the counselling contract. This is also your chance to see if we're a good fit — there is absolutely no pressure to continue.
This varies greatly depending on your needs and goals. Some people find brief therapy (6–12 sessions) helpful for specific issues. Others benefit from longer-term work to address deeper patterns or complex trauma. We'll review your progress regularly and discuss what feels right for you. There's no pressure to commit to a specific timeframe at the start.
Most clients start with weekly sessions. Once established, some find fortnightly works well. We can discuss what suits your situation and adjust as we go.
Yes — as well as working face-to-face in Llanidloes, I offer secure online video sessions and telephone sessions. Online and telephone therapy is available anywhere in the UK.
Yes. I'm a recognised provider with Aviva, AXA Health, VitalityHealth and WPA.

Before we begin, you'll need to contact your insurer and obtain a pre-authorisation code. Some insurers also ask for a referral from your GP. Your insurer will confirm how many sessions are covered and whether your policy includes online or telephone sessions.

My fee for insurance-funded sessions is £75. What your insurer pays depends on your policy — some cover the full fee, others pay up to a set maximum or limit the number of sessions, in which case you may be responsible for the difference. You may also have a policy excess to pay. Your insurer will confirm all of this, and it's worth checking before we start so there are no surprises.

Insurers don't cover missed or late-cancelled appointments, so my usual cancellation policy applies and any such fees are payable by you.

If you'd rather not go through your insurer, self-funding is always an option.
The Old Station, Llanidloes, Mid-Wales. Please note the office is up two flights of stairs — if you have mobility concerns, online sessions are readily available.
Yes, with rare exceptions: if you or someone else is at serious risk, or if required by law. I'll explain the limits of confidentiality fully in the first session. I attend regular clinical supervision where I may discuss work anonymously to ensure good practice.
I request 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule appointments. There is a 50% fee for appointments cancelled with less notice. I understand that unexpected things happen and will always try to be understanding.
No, I work only with individual adults (18+). I am happy to suggest therapists who specialise in couples or family therapy if that would be helpful.
