I'm Rozanna Niazi, a professionally qualified counsellor practising in Cardigan. I take a person-centred Integrative approach, which means I tailor the therapy to the client.
Before I became a counsellor, I was a solicitor, specialising in domestic violence, family conflict and mental health. I assisted clients in family breakdown, care proceedings and adoptions. I was also recognised as a specialist in Mental Health law, representing clients detained in hospital (sectioned) under the Mental Health Act. I was a founding partner in my firm, Burke Niazi (burkeniazi.com), which is a leading light in the field of mental health and social welfare law. I was recognised as an expert lawyer in both child protection and care proceedings and in mental health. I retired from law for a change of direction and to travel and live abroad. Given my expertise and interest in the field of family relations and mental health, retraining as a counsellor seemed like a natural progression.
Combined, I have thirty years’ experience of helping people with issues including anxiety and depression, work related stress, alcohol and drugs, relationship problems, couples’ counselling, domestic abuse and parenting coaching. I have a particulate interest in Autism Spectrum Disorders.
