Trauma Counselling for Swansea, without the journey
From the heart of Swansea, near the bay, the marina and the Gower beyond, out to its edges, from the centre and the marina to Uplands, Sketty and Morriston, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
From my base in Hove, I see clients all over the country by video. For someone in Swansea, that opens up an experienced, BACP-registered specialist without the need to find one on your own doorstep.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Wales, including Neath, Llanelli, Cardiff.
If you would still prefer to meet in person and can travel to the Sussex coast, you are welcome to, but for most clients in Swansea online trauma counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Swansea
Why people in Swansea reach out
Swansea curves around its bay beside the Gower peninsula, a city of real beauty that also carries the marks of industrial decline. A large student population, insecure work and pockets of deep deprivation all shape what people here carry, beneath the easy access to wild coast.
Coastal towns can be wonderful places to live and isolating ones in equal measure, especially once the season turns and the days shorten. Working online means the help is there through the quiet months too, without a long journey inland to reach it.

Why online works in Swansea
Why people in Swansea choose online counselling
Around shift work
If your hours follow the rhythm of the port, online sessions bend around shifts rather than the other way round.
The same confidentiality
Sessions run on a secure, encrypted video link, and everything is held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as work done in person.
The comfort of your own space
Many people find it easier to open up from their own sofa than in an unfamiliar room. From Swansea, that comfort is part of the work, not a compromise.
Begin sooner
Rather than waiting for a local appointment to come free, an online slot often means you can start the work much sooner.
How online sessions work
The method itself is the same online as it is in the room. I am integratively trained and draw on approaches designed specifically for trauma, including the Human Givens Rewind Technique, a calm, non-intrusive method that returns a memory to ordinary recall. You do not have to relive the detail or even speak it aloud for this to work.
Sessions run over a secure video link. All you need is a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable connection. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a simple link you click at the agreed time.

Start the conversationFinding support in Swansea
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Swansea, you can access NHS psychological therapies through your GP or local primary mental health support service. You can find support through the CALL Mental Health Helpline for Wales, free and confidential on 0800 132 737.
Private sessions with me usually mean you can start sooner, stay with the same counsellor throughout, and work at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I'm glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.
If you need urgent help now
This practice is not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.
For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and press 2 for urgent mental health support. The CALL Helpline for Wales is free on 0800 132 737, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.
Swansea questions
Online Trauma Counselling in Swansea: common questions
Do you offer online trauma counselling for people in Swansea?
Yes. I work with clients in Swansea and right across the UK by secure video. You don't need to live near Brighton or Hove; online trauma counselling brings the same care to wherever you are.
How does online trauma counselling work from Swansea?
We meet over a secure, private video link at a time that suits you. You'll need a quiet space, a device with a camera and a steady connection. We always begin with a free fifteen-minute call so you can ask questions and check the fit.
Is online trauma counselling as effective as meeting in person?
For most people, yes. Online therapy can be just as effective as meeting face to face, and many find it easier to open up from home. Everything is held with the same strict confidentiality as in-person work.
Can I use the NHS in Swansea as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from your local NHS talking therapies or counselling service alongside our work; private counselling simply means you can usually start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout. I'm happy to work alongside any NHS support you're receiving.
