Toni Peetham-Baran

Available after 12th May, generally Monday or Wednesday with some flexibility 

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving you feeling stuck or unsure how to move forward. Counselling offers a space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what’s happening for you.

I have a warm, down-to-earth approach and provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and feel heard. Together, we can gently explore your thoughts and experiences, helping you gain clarity and move towards a way of living that feels more manageable and aligned.

My core training is in person-centred counselling, which means you set the pace and focus of our sessions. Alongside listening and support, I may offer insights and practical strategies to help you build awareness and move forward with greater confidence.

I work collaboratively and at a pace that feels right for you, particularly with people who feel emotionally overwhelmed, exhausted, or at a point of transition in their lives. My aim is to help you feel more grounded, clearer in your thinking, and better able to navigate everyday life.

I offer focused counselling for adults who are looking for support, clarity, and direction.

I have a particular interest in working with:

* Anxiety and low mood

* Stress and burnout, including caring roles

* Family dynamics and recognising unhealthy patterns

* Life transitions (such as menopause, empty nest, retirement, or moving from education into work)

* Feeling stuck or questioning “what’s next?”

I specialise in short-term counselling (typically 3–6 sessions), which can be helpful if you have a specific issue you’d like to explore or would benefit from a focused period of support.

I bring both professional training and life experience to my work. I hold a BACP-recognised counselling degree and have undertaken additional training in neuroscience and cognitive behavioural therapy. Additionally I hold vocational qualifications in coaching, and working with narcissistic dynamics. I am committed to ongoing supervision and professional development.

Practical details:

* Sessions: In person or online

* Location: Swansea

* Fee: £45 per session (concessions available)

Short-term package:

Three sessions for £110 (paid in advance)

This offer is for those seeking reflection, clarity, and direction around a specific issue. It is most suitable for individuals with some insight into their situation and is not designed for crisis support or complex trauma.
