Life in Llanelli
Why people in Llanelli reach out
Llanelli, a coastal town in Carmarthenshire once known for tinplate, has lived through the decline of its industries. Insecure work, money worries and the distance from larger centres in west Wales all shape the pressures people here carry.
Llanelli, in Carmarthenshire, was once so dominated by the tinplate trade that it earned the nickname Tinopolis. That industrial past still shapes the town, from the Felinfoel Brewery, said to be the first in Europe to can its beer, to the terraced streets that housed the works' families. Llanelli is, above all, a rugby town: the scarlet of Llanelli RFC and now the Scarlets, the anthem Sospan Fach, and the memory of the day in 1972 when the town beat the touring All Blacks. Along the Loughor estuary the Millennium Coastal Path and the wetland centre have opened the shoreline back up, while districts such as Felinfoel, Bynea and Llwynhendy spread inland from the old centre.
In tightly-held valley communities a long way from specialist help, a secure video link closes the distance and keeps the work private.
Llanelli in Carmarthenshire is served by Prince Philip Hospital under Hywel Dda University Health Board and is home to Parc y Scarlets, the stadium of the Scarlets regional rugby side, reflecting the town's strong rugby heritage.

Wherever you are in Llanelli, the work is the same, a calm, confidential space shaped around you.
The relationship counselling itself
Relationship counselling here, for couples or individuals, slows down the pattern you are caught in and builds healthier ways of hearing and being heard.
The approach is the same wherever you live, so rather than repeat it on every page you can read it in full, the methods, what each session covers and fees, on the main relationship counselling page and on how I work.
How online sessions work
Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, you join each session from any private space using a phone, tablet or laptop, no software to install, no waiting room and no journey at either end.
Out in west Wales, Llanelli can be some way from specialist face-to-face provision, with the nearest services often over towards Swansea or Carmarthen. My practice is based in Hove, on the Sussex coast, so I do not offer appointments in the town in person. Instead I work by secure video, which reaches Llanelli and everywhere else in Wales, as well as the rest of the UK. Meeting online from home removes the drive and, for many people, feels more discreet.

Relationship Counselling in Llanelli
Why people in Llanelli come for relationship counselling
In Llanelli, couples often build life around shift work, the pull of jobs down towards Swansea, and the ties of a close, Welsh-speaking community that can make private struggles feel very exposed. When both partners are stretched, the relationship can quietly slip to the bottom of the list. I offer relationship counselling by secure video from Hove, so you and your partner can talk together from home in Felinfoel, Llwynhendy or out towards the coastal path, with nothing to travel to. For many couples, meeting on a shared screen at home makes it easier to slow down and really listen.

Llanelli questions
Online Relationship Counselling in Llanelli: common questions
Can I get online relationship counselling if I live in Llanelli?
Yes. I work with people right across Llanelli, from the town centre and the Millennium Coastal Path outwards, and anywhere else in Wales, by secure video, no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
Can I come on my own, without my partner?
Yes. A great deal can change when one person shifts the pattern; you do not need to attend as a couple to do useful work.
Can we join the session from different locations?
Yes. Online makes it easy for couples in different places, or juggling childcare, to attend together.
Will you take sides?
No. We look at the pattern the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, not at who is to blame.
We'd rather keep this private in a close community - can you?
Yes. Sessions are held by secure video, so there is no local waiting room and nothing for anyone in Llanelli to see. Everything stays confidential between us, and you and your partner take part from wherever feels private, usually your own home.
How soon can my partner and I start relationship counselling in Llanelli?
Usually within a week or two. I work with couples across Llanelli and Carmarthenshire by secure video rather than in person. We begin with a free 15-minute consultation, then arrange your first full session at a time that suits you both.
What are your couples fees, and how do they compare with NHS support in west Wales?
Couples work is £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 minutes or £120 for two hours, after a free 15-minute chat. Relationship support through Hywel Dda health board can involve a wait, so many couples value starting privately and promptly online.
Can we attend from different places out here in west Wales?
Yes. Because sessions run by secure video, you can join together or from separate locations when work or distance keeps you apart. Out here, where services can be a drive towards Swansea or Carmarthen, online removes that journey, and I offer evening appointments too.
Is help hard to reach out here in west Wales?
Face-to-face services can be a drive away, which is one reason online counselling suits many people here. Working by secure video, I can reach you at home in Llanelli or the surrounding area without any travel on your part.
Do you have a Llanelli consulting room?
No. My practice is in Hove, and I work with people across Carmarthenshire and the whole of Wales online rather than in person. Every session is held by secure video wherever you are.
