Adytum means the innermost sacred part of a Greek temple
– sanctum. This is what we at Adytum
seek to create - a totally safe, comfortable, caring and confidential
environment. It is here that people can bring the issues and concerns
that trouble them. The Adytum Counselling Service was set up in 1996
with the aim of providing a professional therapeutic service to
individuals, couples, groups and corporate clients in the South Wales
area.
Adytum now
has a total of four counsellors who work within the group and who are
all professionally qualified. All counsellors are vetted by the
Criminal Records Bureau and are members of the British Association of
Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). We abide by the BACP Code of
Ethics and Practice. Adytum counsellors are experienced in relationship
issues, depression, anxiety, sexual and emotional abuse, eating
disorders, weight loss, bereavement, stress, family or work related
issues, trauma, low self esteem etc. Adytum uses a mainly Person
Centred approach but Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used
as and when appropriate.
The
principal, Tony Phillips, is an experienced foster carer specialising
in difficult to place young people, whilst other counsellors have
worked extensively with the young unemployed and with drug and alcohol
abuse. This gives us a particular interest in the issues faced by young
people today. The issues that these young people bring with them, such
as behavioural problems, the effects of emotional or sexual abuse,
extreme neglect and deprivation, eating disorders, alcohol and drug
problems, enables our counsellors to be more aware than most of what
the world is really like for young people today.
Adytum works
in partnership with, amongst others, Shaw Trust, Neath & Port
Talbot CBC, Land Registry Wales, University of Wales (Aberystwyth),
Pembrokeshire College and others. Our corporate work is ongoing and
developing as time goes on.
