Platfform Wellbeing

• What they offer / teach

  Private counselling and talking therapies for individuals, couples and children, delivered face-to-face at their Roath, Cardiff centre or online/by phone. Types offered include person-centred counselling, CBT, integrative therapy, humanistic and trauma-informed approaches, with counsellors available who work in Welsh and British Sign Language (BSL).

• Ages served

  Sessions are offered to individuals, couples and children aged 7 and over. No upper age limit is stated.

• Approach

  A BACP Accredited service with a large, diverse team of counsellors registered with BACP, UKCP or similar, who aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental space and are matched to each client's needs. They describe themselves as an autism-friendly organisation whose team has received specialised training from Autistic Minds, and can make adjustments such as amending lighting or offering a separate waiting room; they work with trauma, neurodiversity and people with a diagnosis, and will refer on to other agencies where counselling is not appropriate.

• Admissions

  Clients book a first appointment through online booking and complete a short form, then attend a 30-minute assessment with an experienced/lead counsellor who recommends the type of support and matches them with a counsellor. Most people start regular sessions within a few days of the assessment.

• Cost

  Private counselling sessions start from £60 per hour and the initial assessment session is £30. As a social enterprise, all profits are reinvested into Platfform's wider charity work.
