About Duncan

Christian Counsellor · Psychotherapist · NHS Mental Health Chaplain

Hello. My name is Duncan. I am a Christian counsellor and lay minister with experience in NHS chaplaincy, education and community pastoral work. I offer confidential, faith-aware counselling for individuals and couples, integrating recognised counselling practice with Christian pastoral care. I hold a Master’s degree in Pastoral Studies and an Advanced Diploma in in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. My aim is to provide a safe space for people to explore emotional, relational and faith-related concerns with compassion and respect.

I am a Christian counsellor and experienced lay minister with over twenty years of pastoral service across chaplaincy, education and community settings. I have served as a Mental Health Chaplain within the NHS, and previously as a Chaplain and teacher in an education,al setting.  These are experiences that have shaped my compassionate, steady and thoughtful approach to care.

My work integrates Christian faith, psychological insight and recognised counselling practice with Christian pastoral care, drawing from:

  • Psychodynamic Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Person-Centred approach

thus offering a safe and reflective space where individuals can explore emotional struggles, questions of faith, and life’s wider challenges.

I hold:

  • a Master’s Degree in Pastoral Studies,
  • a PGCE in Religious Education,
  • and a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice.

At the heart of my work is the belief that every person is created with dignity, worth, and value.

I offer confidential online Christian counselling for individuals and couples in Welshpool and the surrounding areas of Mid Wales. Whether you live in Welshpool itself, nearby Montgomery, Guilsfield, Berriew, Llanfair Caereinion, Newtown, or the wider Powys area, online counselling provides a private and flexible way to receive support without needing to travel for appointments.

Welshpool has a distinctive character as a historic market town close to the English border, set within the wider Severn Valley. It is a place shaped by rural life, local community, family networks, farming, small businesses, and the rhythms of town and countryside. For many people, this can bring a strong sense of belonging. For others, it can also mean that personal struggles are carried quietly.

You may appear to be coping outwardly while privately feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, isolated, spiritually dry, or unsure how to speak about what is happening inside. Christian counselling offers a confidential space to talk honestly, reflect deeply, and seek support that takes both your emotional wellbeing and your faith seriously.

Although sessions are delivered online, I work with clients across Welshpool and the wider Powys area. This may include people living in or near Welshpool, Montgomery, Berriew, Guilsfield, Llanfair Caereinion, Newtown, Oswestry, Four Crosses, Forden, and surrounding villages.

Online counselling can be especially helpful in a rural or semi-rural area where travelling to regular appointments may be difficult, time-consuming, or impractical. It can also offer greater privacy for those who would rather not attend counselling locally or who prefer to speak from the familiarity of their own home.

Living in a smaller town or rural area can bring particular emotional pressures. Some people feel deeply rooted in their community, while others feel watched, misunderstood, or unable to speak openly. Family history, church life, local reputation, farming pressures, financial concerns, caring responsibilities, and limited local services can all affect emotional wellbeing.

Online Christian counselling may be helpful if you are dealing with:

  • anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm
  • depression, low mood, or loss of motivation
  • grief, bereavement, or painful life changes
  • relationship or marriage difficulties
  • trauma or unresolved past experiences
  • loneliness or isolation
  • spiritual struggle, doubt, guilt, or loss of direction
  • pressure connected with family, work, church, or community life

Christian Counselling offers a confidential space where these experiences can be explored carefully, without judgement and without the need to have everything worked out before you begin.

If you are in crisis, you can also contact Samaritans for 24/7 support.
