Finding Your Way Through Life's Challenges
Counselling and psychotherapy in Mid-Wales
and online across the UK.
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.

Counselling can support you with...
Many people come to therapy unsure whether their struggles are 'serious enough'. There is no threshold — if something is affecting your wellbeing, it matters.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
