Forensic Psychology Counselling in Cardiff
Life has a way of piling onto us and sometimes its hard to recognize the effects of our experiences over time. This can lead to developing unhelpful coping skills in the moment, that are not conducive to a healthy and happy life. We need to adapt and find other ways of coping once the storm has passed, which can be difficult to do on your own.
As a qualified psychologist, I have experience in working with inpatient and community settings over the last 6 years. I specialize in working with Personality Disorder (BPD, ASPD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD and CPTSD), and neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, LD, Autism).

You may appear capable and successful, yet your inner world feels harder to manage than others realise. Your mind moves quickly, but focus, emotional regulation, or sustained energy can feel difficult. You might wonder why your potential is not fully expressed, despite your intelligence and effort. You may also be questioning whether ADHD, autism, stress, racial trauma, workplace bullying or burnout plays a role. What you want now is understanding. You want to know how your mind works and how to work with it despite your experiences.

Hello, I am Laura an experienced therapist, here to help. Through sessions we will be able to understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours at the moment and how you have gotten to today. We will consider what changes you are able to make to ensure that you are back living your best life. Often by understanding what has happened in the past we can better understand what is challenging today.
Vicious cycles can start slowing and build up over time. What makes things easier in the short term can often have a larger impact in the longer term.

We are often taught that some feelings are "good" and others are "bad," but really, every emotion is just trying to tell us something.
When we carry old pain, it is common to swing between two extremes. Sometimes we numb out and shut down until we feel stuck. Other times the pain becomes so loud and the urges so strong that they feel impossible to control. Both are just ways you’ve learned to cope with things that were too much to handle alone.
In our sessions, we can slow down to face these feelings without being forced to act on them. This lets the struggle settle so you can finally feel more steady.

You're holding everything together — work, relationships, responsibilities — and doing it well enough that nobody would guess the effort it actually takes. But privately something won't shift. The anxiety that appears for no obvious reason. The relationships that follow the same exhausting patterns. The flatness that success hasn't touched.
You've probably tried to address it. Got some tools, felt better for a while. But something underneath keeps reasserting itself — and you're right that it does.
I've spent 30 years helping people understand what's actually driving their experience, not just manage the symptoms.

Forensic Psychology Counsellors
How does forensic psychology work?
Forensic psychology works by providing those in the legal system with expert information about psychology and behaviour that they wouldn’t otherwise have. Forensic psychologists do this through a range of services—conducting psychological assessments for court cases, assisting police officers with investigations, providing expert opinion, helping with mediation, and providing mental health care to victims or perpetrators of crimes.
Can a forensic psychologist help with child custody cases?
Yes. In the event that it’s needed, an attorney or judge may appoint a forensic psychologist to provide an assessment and recommendation. This process involves multiple interviews with the child, the parent (or parents), and sometimes others. The psychologist assesses the parent’s mental health, strengths and weaknesses, and parenting practices to understand what’s in the child’s best interest. They then complete a report with recommendations based on their assessment.
Do forensic psychologists help solve crimes?
In some cases they do. For example, criminal profiling involves collaborating with law enforcement officers to construct a profile of a perpetrator based on psychology, personality, and behaviour as suggested by the crime in order to focus the investigation. They may also offer expert input on subjects related to a case such as deception, false confessions, and the reliability of testimony based on eyewitness accounts.
How long do people typically work with a forensic psychologist?
The length of time an individual works with a forensic psychologist depends on the relevant service. For example, if a forensic psychologist is conducting a psychological assessment for a court case, this may take one to two sessions to complete (although they can be more extensive). If the forensic psychologist is providing therapy to someone accused or convicted of a crime, treatment may last for several months or more.
