Life in Wrexham
What brings people in Wrexham to counselling?
Wrexham is compact at its centre and spreads into villages and open country beyond it. Either way, people tend to be known. After something frightening that becomes awkward, because the same familiarity that would comfort you also means questions you cannot face answering. So life goes on as normal from the outside. Work, the school run, church at St Giles' if that is your habit. What does not go on as normal is the night. Sleep that fails at the same hour. A reaction to a sound before you have thought about it. A lane out past Gresford or Borras that you no longer drive, and no explanation given.

What does trauma counselling involve?
Trauma counselling here is gentle and led by you, drawing on methods designed for trauma including the Human Givens Rewind Technique, so a difficult memory is returned to ordinary recall.
What actually happens in the room is the same everywhere, so it is written up once: see the trauma counselling page for the methods, how sessions run and what they cost for fees and session lengths, and qualifications, registration and ethics if you want to check who you would be working with.
How does meeting by video work in practice?
Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link, held to the same BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call, you join from any private space on a phone, tablet or laptop.
This work is done online by secure video, from Hove, and for trauma that distance is often the thing that makes it possible at all. The person you speak to is a long way from your town, your family and anybody who might know them. Nothing circulates locally. You stay in a place you already know for the whole session, and when it ends there is no drive home while you are still unsettled.

Trauma Counselling in Wrexham
Why people in Wrexham come for trauma counselling
Almost nobody comes wanting to go back over the past. They come because the past still sets the terms of the present: broken nights, the startle, the temper, the strange distance from your own life. Everything moves at the speed you choose, and that is how this work is built rather than something said to reassure you. The first part is entirely about steadiness, meaning practical ways of bringing yourself down, rehearsed until they can be relied on. Nothing follows before that is true. Where it fits, the Human Givens Rewind Technique is available, and it does not require an account of what happened. You stay calm, you keep control, and stopping is always permitted. Trauma is not something local data records. Anxiety is, and the ONS rating for Wrexham was 3.22 out of 10 in the year ending March 2023, a shade under the Wales average of 3.3. Your GP can refer you to the local primary mental health support service, and CALL answers free on 0800 132 737.

Wrexham questions
Online Trauma Counselling in Wrexham: common questions
Would I have to tell you the whole story?
No, and for many people that is the reason this becomes possible. The Rewind Technique is done with no telling of the event at all, and in ordinary sessions you decide what is said. Nothing has to be described in order to be believed.
What are the session fees for trauma work?
Sixty minutes is charged at £80, ninety at £100 and one hundred and twenty at £120. Longer appointments often suit this particular work, as there is space to arrive and to settle again before finishing. The initial 15-minute call is not charged for.
Where does the NHS come into it for trauma here?
Your GP is the referral route to the local primary mental health support service, and how long you wait varies considerably. A good number of people sit on that route and start privately alongside it. The CALL helpline for Wales is free on 0800 132 737.
It happened somewhere else, before I moved here. Does that matter?
Not to the work. What travels with you is the reaction, not the postcode, and moving away often makes it harder rather than easier because nobody around you knows the history. You can start wherever you are now, with none of it explained to anyone local.
What if I try this and find I am not ready?
Then you are not ready, and that is a legitimate finding rather than a failed attempt. We would slow right down, spend the time on settling instead, and leave the rest until it makes sense. Nothing is lost by taking longer over this.
I'd rather no one knew I was getting help, is that possible?
Yes. Working by secure video means there is no local waiting room and no one to run into. You take part privately from home, wherever suits you around Wrexham. What we discuss stays confidential, and the whole arrangement can be as discreet as you need.
How soon can trauma counselling begin online for a Wrexham client?
We usually start within a week or two, after a free 15-minute consultation to check the fit. Trauma work is paced with care. Sessions run by secure video from Hove, so you can begin from a place that feels safe, whether in the city or a village out towards the hills.
What does trauma counselling cost against NHS trauma help in Wrexham?
NHS Wales trauma care through Betsi Cadwaladr is free but can involve assessment and a wait. Privately I charge £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 and £120 for two hours, with a free 15-minute consultation, so you can begin at a time and pace that feel right.
Is online trauma counselling for Wrexham available in the evenings?
Yes. Trauma counselling works by secure video, and some evening times are available. Being in your own safe space in Rhosddu or Gresford, rather than travelling to a clinic or across the border, often helps you feel steadier. We only ever move at a pace that stays manageable.
