Adytum Counselling Service


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.
