Trauma and PTSD Counselling in Cardiff

Inge Deane
Counsellor, DCounsPsych, MNCPS Acc.
Cardiff CF14
I have continued to develop in areas such as trauma, suicidal ideation and LGBT+.
It can be a very daunting experience trying to find a counsellor. You may have several questions and possibly not be sure if counselling is for you. Talking to a professional can help. My name is Inge, I am a qualified counsellor and I offer an empathetic space for you to explore what is causing you distress, so you can move through your counselling journey at a pace that is comfortable for you. I adopt a person led approach whereby I work with you by continually discussing how the direction your counselling journey is progressing and if it is having the desired effect you had hoped for.

You might feel exhausted by your own mind, always analysing, replaying things, and worrying about what other people think. You can be thoughtful and self-aware, but it doesn’t always make things easier. If anything, it can be hard to know which thoughts are really yours, what you’re actually feeling, or what you truly want. Sometimes emotions feel like a lot, and other times it’s harder to feel anything clearly at all. When that happens, it’s easy to turn on yourself, to question, criticise, or feel like you should be handling things better. This is where having some support can make a difference.

I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, such as ongoing anxiety, behaviours that feel hard to stop, or difficulties around sex, relationships, or shame. Many people I work with sense that something isn’t right, and may even understand why, but feel frustrated that this hasn’t led to real change. My approach is calm and collaborative, focused on understanding what’s driving these patterns and supporting you to think things through and decide what feels right for you. Therapy with me isn’t about judgement or quick fixes, but about moving from understanding towards meaningful change. I’m a qualified

My approach is somatic and trauma-informed.
If you are tired of feeling low, depleted, stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or stressed-out, I can help you to reclaim your vitality and zest for life. Whether you struggle with a diagnosed condition such as Anxiety, Depression, Panic Disorder, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or Fibromyalgia, or just want to transcend the mire of brain fog, anxious thoughts, and worry, my work can pave the way to a radically different future.

Then I teach you how to unlock your deeper potentials for healing, wellbeing, resilience, motivation, and mental clarity.

I have a particular understanding of religious trauma and faith deconstruction.
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your next steps? Maybe you’re navigating a big change, questioning aspects of yourself or your relationships, or simply feeling like life isn’t quite how you’d like it to be. You might be struggling with stress or burnout, stuck in patterns of perfectionism or self-criticism, or finding it hard to set boundaries and put your own needs first. Perhaps you’re exploring your identity, sexuality, or rethinking your faith or spirituality. Maybe you are adjusting to becoming a parent, trying to conceive, or navigating changing relationships with your own ageing parents.

I’m a neurodivergent therapist working with clients who want to understand themselves more deeply and live more authentically. You might feel like you’ve spent years masking who you are, struggling to feel truly understood, or finding relationships harder than they seem for others. You may feel disconnected, unsure of yourself, or like you can't be the “real” you. Many of my clients are autistic, ADHD or AuDHD (inclusive of those self-diagnosed or questioning). I therefore work in a neurodiversity-affirming way, where the aim is to understand how your mind works and what you need

I offer both psychodynamic and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which complement each other so well. Psychodynamic counselling primarily allows for deep dives into your experiences both past and present, as the therapeutic relationship brings awareness of your unconscious self in a manageable way. ACT then builds upon this with much more active interventions, and these can guide you on the path to leading a life that is meaningful for you whilst also learning to embrace its inevitable pain. ACT teaches us that, through mindful action rooted in our core values, we can effectively navigate life's challenges and unwanted experiences.
