MEET ROZANNA, LLM (Mental Health Law), MBACP (Accred)
Welcome, I'm Rozanna
I'm a dual-qualified legal-therapeutic specialist combining decades of senior professional experience with advanced therapeutic training and lived experience as a neurodivergent person.
My path to therapy wasn't conventional. After years as a senior family law partner and member of both the Law Society's Children and Mental Health Panels, I recognized that my deepest satisfaction came from supporting people through their most challenging circumstances - not just the legal complexities, but the human ones.
Now BACP-accredited and working with clients across the UK, I bring an unusually broad perspective to therapeutic work. Whether you're navigating professional transitions, relationship complexities, workplace challenges, or exploring your neurodivergent identity, I understand both the external pressures and internal struggles that can feel overwhelming.
I live on a smallholding in West Wales and offer in-person sessions in Cardigan alongside my national online practice.
My approach is holistic and evidence-based, asking not "What's wrong with you?" but "What has happened to you, and what do you need right now?"

Specialist member of the Law Society's Children Panel and Mental Health Panel
-
Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy (Sheffield Hallam University)

Post Graduate training in Relationship Counselling (Masters' Level)

Certificate in Clinical Supervision
I’ve trained in a range of therapeutic approaches since qualifying, including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Ecotherapy, Attachment Theory, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I’m also qualified in alcohol, drug, and addiction counselling, which means I can support you or your young person when facing challenges with substance use.
Beyond working directly with clients, I also supervise and coach other therapists to help them grow and refine their own practices—a part of my work that I deeply enjoy.
Professional Bodies and Accreditation
It's important to know that therapy and coaching aren't regulated professions, which means anyone can use those titles. That's why working with someone who is properly qualified and accountable to professional standards is essential.
I'm a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and am also accredited by them. This accreditation is a recognition of my expertise, experience and the quality of the service I provide. It's also my way of demonstrating a commitment to high ethical and professional standards—giving you confidence that you're working with someone skilled, supervised, and responsible.
I'm also a member of:
-
BACP's Coaching Division
-
Association for Coaching
-
Black, African, and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN)
I hold a qualification in clinical supervision and actively supervise other therapists as part of my ongoing professional development.
About privilege, oppression & disclosure
I’m a member of the Black, African, and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN), and as a neurodivergent person of colour, I’m committed to honouring and respecting the cultural and identity differences that shape each client’s experience.
I am economically and educationally-privileged and appreciate that sharing aspects of identity with someone doesn’t mean I fully understand their lived experience. My role is to listen deeply, to create a space where your story is heard and valued.
I welcome all conversations about privilege and how it might influence our work.
