Welcome, and thank you for visiting Therapy with OP.
My name is Owain and I am a counsellor providing both short- and long-term therapy to adult individuals in Horsham, Crawley, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, West Sussex & Online.
About me
I am a very down to earth person and like to work in a way that is open, with clear language and no jargon and full attention to your needs. It my absolute goal to ensure that you are heard and listened to, not judged or criticised. I will aim to empower you to discover and explore ideas with solutions in a place that feels right to work in, surrounded by sensitivity, honesty and respect. I work in Person Centred, Humanistic way that is based on exploring whatever problem you have brought, rather than offer advice, and throughout the process there may be times which may feel upsetting or uncertain and I will work with you to support you through. I am a registered member of the BACP and work with and abide to their Ethical Framework.
I am passionate about working with people from all walks of life. I welcome all to my sessions and have a particular passion and advocate support for Mens Mental Health supporting diversity for those who may wish to explore themselves deeper and further. I offer both short and long term sessions for clients and will look to regularly reflect and check in with you on our journey together.

What Counselling Can Offer You..
Counselling can assist you in many ways, and by offering a non-judgemental, safe and therapeutic space I would look to hold and share whatever you choose to bring to a session.
Taking the first steps to seek counselling can be scary and uncertain and very daunting and I want share that I take care and time to understand what has made you look to counselling and discuss and explore a way of work that will support you.

Should you wish to explore therapy and want to get in touch I recognise that contacting a counsellor may feel unnerving and you may have uncertainty about what will happen and how it will work, so I offer a free initial telephone or online session to “Break the ice” and see if I am the right Counsellor for you.
