Hello. I offer a safe and compassionate transitional relationship, supporting you to find more self-compassion and develop healthy relationships. The relationship that we create together can help you to understand how unhelpful (although originally useful) patterns of relating to ourselves and others endure in the present. This unique relationship can offer a world of possibilities for different ways of being in the world. Informed by up-to date neuroscience, I offer a safe relationship to empower you to manage enduring symptoms of past trauma.

As an Integrative Counsellor, I have the privilege of helping to support many clients with a range of life issues. Whether these challenges are related to anxiety and depression, bereavement or prolonged grief, anger, personal relationships and abuse or the ongoing effects of historical difficulties, to name just a few, my goal is to ensure that you feel safe and heard in a confidential, empathic and compassionate environment. It can be difficult to reach out and accept that you may benefit from external support. Vulnerability is not weakness, it is the most courageous thing that we can show to others.

I work in Swansea and Cardiff with people who wish to bring the relationships that they need into their lives, inclusive of those identifying with GSRD (gender, sexuality and relationship diversity). Are you struggling with making connections, perhaps you are feeling unsupported in life or without anyone who really understands you? Do you wish you had closer relationships, more people to share your innermost thoughts with, or more authentic connections where people know the “real” you? How can we really achieve our true potential if we don't have the relationships that provide the love and support we need?

Sometimes in life we get stuck in patterns which, though once useful ways of being and relating, have now outgrown their usefulness to us, perhaps beginning to get in our way even. Psychotherapy can offer both the space to express, grasp and understand these patterns and then the support and challenge to grow in ways which seem right for you. I draw on a range of sources to bring my curiosity to meet you as a whole person. I am interested in your thoughts, your feelings, your actions and what may be going on in your body as well as what may emerge in the here and now of our relationship.

Throughout our life-time there will always come a time when we all struggle with issues. I believe that we always do the best we can when those issues arise, even though sometimes we haven’t yet develop the skills to deal with them in an effective and healthy way. I think that this is where counselling can help - I see my role as a provider of a safe non-judgemental place where learning, growth and change can happen. And everyone can do it, whether you are neurotypical or neurodivergent.

Hello, I’m Rebecca Wilson. A Counselling Psychologist based in Swansea. When I’m not spending my time with my two dogs and husband, I am working within the NHS as a community Psychologist. I believe that the context in which we grow up and live in, shapes our sense of self and how we live our lives. I recognise the impact that life struggles and the impact that our social, relational and financial situation can have on our mental well-being. I am passionate about understanding each persons’ story and am keen to understand the link between our stories and our well-being.

Hello, my name is David and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. The fact that you’re considering seeing a counsellor means that you’re unhappy with a part of your life, whether it be an unfulfilling relationship, an uncertainty about career or lifestyle choices, or thoughts and behaviours that inhibit your ability to lead the life that you once dared to imagine. The pandemic has also forced people to look again at their life and reappraise what they really want from it.
