Counselling in Wales

I have trained as an integrative counsellor, and believe that therapy can help us evolve from surviving to thriving. I became a counsellor for many reasons, but fundamentally because of the powerful way in which counselling can help you take back control of your life story; tomorrow does not have to be like yesterday. I can offer you a calm space to explore what feels safe to you until you are ready and I will not make assumptions about the individual struggles you are going through. I work with the full belief that it is possible to find a way through your experiences and re-gain that sense of who you are.

I am a qualified humanistic counsellor, where the goal is to support my client on the path to self-discovery and personal growth. No one person is the same and I believe this should be embraced when it comes to therapy. With a non-judgemental approach to counselling, my goal is to help you better understand yourself and empower you to deal with issues that life may create, to do this I try to be adaptive and find a process that suits you.

Therapy can help people to access inner resources to cope with life’s challenges. Sometimes we forget we have these, or they may appear buried and difficult to access or not sufficient for us as adults. This can leave us feeling diminished, lost, angry, anxious or in despair.

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I understand that taking the initial step of seeking support is often the hardest part of the journey and having the courage to ask for help takes incredible strength, so good on you! I believe that everyone deserves the chance of a brighter and fulfilling life and with the right skills, resources and support, the possibilities of personal growth and development are limitless.

I am a warm, caring, compassionate and experienced therapist for children, young people and adults who struggle with everyday anxieties who may feel marginalised and isolated in their lives. For Children and Young People - counselling differs from that offered to counselling adults. A child's age specific difficulties and their development will determine the method I use to support children in expressing their thoughts, feelings and physical emotions. Working together ensures a positive outcome while covering issues such as Trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, self- harm, bullying and low self-esteem.

Do you fear the worst things you say to yourself are true? Holding it together on the outside might feel like hanging on by your fingernails inside. You may be crushed by external circumstances or overwhelmed by internal turmoil. Perhaps you’re driven to overachieve at great personal cost, yet never seem to reach your potential in relationships, creativity or career. Familiar ways of coping no longer work, whether that’s immersive daydreaming, masking undiagnosed ADHD, or endless people-pleasing. It's hard to express what you want or need to live an authentic, fulfilled life. You simply cannot - you choose not to - go on like this.

My name is Dr Sarah Radev and I am an autistic Clinical Psychologist. Being neurodiverse comes with many strengths, but it can also come with certain challenges. I offer a safe, judgement free space to therapeutically work through these difficulties at a pace that suits you, and takes into account all of your individual differences, challenges and strengths. There are many services available for people who are not neurodiverse, and my aim is to offer a service that is specifically tailored for my neurospicy clients, where they can feel understood, and free to take off the mask and be themselves.

Counselling can be a scary process; our counsellors are skilled at helping you relax so you can talk about the problems you are having at the moment. We will offer you a safe, non-judgemental space to explore the problems you are facing and ways to help you move forward away from them. Within our team we can offer you a wide range of different counselling styles to help you get back on track as soon as possible and away from any emotional distress you have been feeling.

An ideal client needs empathy, support, and gentle challenges to uncover their inner strengths and develop practical, personalized coping strategies. Their goal is to find confidence and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. They seek a compassionate guide to help navigate these difficulties, someone who can provide a safe, non-judgmental space for them to express their thoughts and feelings. Everyone's challenges are unique, and everyone deserves the opportunity to identify and overcome the obstacles preventing them from living a fulfilling life.

Coming to therapy can seem like a big step. But in my experience with clients, it is usually the beginning of a liberating time when past and present concerns can be expressed and understood with emotions examined and transmuted. Learning how to accept and navigate difficult life situations can be really beneficial, as you discover what choices are available to you in how to handle difficult emotions and thought patterns. Many of our core beliefs were formed when we were young and not fully conscious of the choices we were making about our world. Therapy gives you the chance to look at yourself and your issues in new ways.

Hello & welcome. Please email any inquiries. Whatever you or your child are struggling with right now, I would be honoured to support you. I specialise in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults. But I am able to offer sessions to anyone interested. I offer F2F Sessions in a lovely, clean and quiet counselling room in central Swansea.

If you're nervous about opening up to friends, family or partners and think that sharing with a trained professional confidentially could help then please drop me an email.

Each of us face times in life when we experience difficulties which can lead us to feel anxious, stuck, or depressed.

I have a gentle yet sincere approach which has the ultimate aim of unlocking your own resources to help you to achieve your potential and lead a more fulfilling, healthy, and satisfying life.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming challenging and stressful. Do you feel like life is a juggling act and it is becoming harder to keep the balls in the air? Believe me it is hard as I too have been there. Maybe you are finding it difficult to cope with what life can throw at us or dealing with feelings of stress, anxiety, depression or any other mental health issue? Perhaps you are trying to cope with a difficult life event or feeling isolated, navigating relationship or work issues, exploring your identity, or if you are just seeking a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space for growth then you are in the right place.

My name is Angharad and I have over 20 years of primary teaching experience, including 8 years as a head teacher, I have seen first hand the difficulties many children face, coupled with the lack of provision available to support their emotional and mental health needs. I am a qualified Child Therapist specialising in Play Therapy, with a MSc in Play Therapy. I believe the benefits of play therapy to be transformative - hence retraining to become a child therapist. Play Therapy is an effective therapy that helps children modify their behaviours, clarify their self-concept, and build healthy relationships.

Hello, my name is Nanneke and I am a Psychotherapeutic counsellor specialised in childhood trauma. When bad things happen in your childhood, such as abuse, loss of parents, violence, neglect, being taken into care - just to name a few - this can have a devastating impact on the rest of your life. Relationship problems, addictions, eating disorders, physical problems, and lots more, can all have a link to your past. If you would like a chat with me to find out a little bit more, why don't you send me an email or text and ask for a phone call, free of charge. I look forward to meeting you.

Hello, I am a UKCP registered Systemic Family and Psychotherapist and Social Pedagogue. I work with individuals and families/groups and I believe that every person is unique and crucial in finding solutions that lead to positive change for you, your family, team or group. I work with clients with a variety of problems, too many to mention here, especially because they are all individual and subsequently perceived like that.

Getting pregnant…giving birth…adjusting to being a parent…managing health and mood challenges…knowing what to do with your baby. It is full of expectations and adjustments which can leave us with overwhelming emotions. I know what this is like and have met so many Mums who feel the same. Hello, I am Dr Sarah-Louise Hurst and I am passionate about providing you with therapy to help you create the change you are looking for. I can provide a tailor made therapy plan and equip you with psychological tools to make your day-to-day and experience of motherhood increasingly meaningful.

You may feel you are not getting the most out of your life for reasons known or unknown. I work with the unconscious through dreams and imagery to help you connect more fully with yourself, giving you access to your own deeper needs and desires clearing the way for you to change as you chose. You may need the convenience of working online or via the telephone (F2F not available). Often my way of working appeals to those who are interested in the arts and/or the spiritual realm and those who appreciate deeper ways of working, in safe and supportive relationship.

Life can feel uncomfortable, difficult or overwhelming for many reasons. I believe counselling offers a unique space to be able to stop, explore, and reflect which can lead to meaningful insight and change. I am offering you a place to talk about whatever you need to, whether that is the impact of past experiences, issues in the present, or concerns about the future. I work in an affirming way that respects your autonomy and supports you to feel more secure in your sense of self. Helping you understand the why as well as managing difficulties in the present.
