Available Counselling in Swansea
Relationships can reach a point where conversations become arguments, silence replaces connection, or trust feels difficult to rebuild. Whether you're facing a relationship crisis, recovering from a betrayal, adjusting to change or loss, or simply feeling distant from someone important in your life, therapy can help.
Over the years, I have come to believe that many relationship problems are not caused by a lack of love or care, but by people becoming caught in cycles of misunderstanding, hurt, disappointment, or silence.

You may be feeling stuck or disconnected, as if something is getting in the way of letting you fully engaging with life... something is blocking your progress... stopping you from being fully you.

By learning to understand what drives us, we are able to change and grow.... and most importantly, learn what to do when we get ‘stuck'. I recognise that the first steps in counselling are often not easy, so will make sure we go at a pace that suits you; therapy can be short or long term, we can decide this as we go along. I am a qualified psychotherapist, couple's therapist and fully trained clinical supervisor, offering a private space in my garden studio, where together we can explore whatever brings you to therapy. I trained in Emotion Focussed Therapy which works on the premise that our emotions guide everything we do.

Hello, my name is David and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. The fact that you’re considering seeing a counsellor means that you’re unhappy with a part of your life, whether it be an unfulfilling relationship, an uncertainty about career or lifestyle choices, or thoughts and behaviours that inhibit your ability to lead the life that you once dared to imagine. The pandemic has also forced people to look again at their life and reappraise what they really want from it.

How do I find a therapist near me who is accepting new patients?
Finding a therapist who is actively accepting new patients can feel overwhelming, so it can be helpful to narrow your search down as much as possible. Use the Psychology Today Therapy Directory to search specifically for therapists who are in your area and who are accepting new patients right now, so you are not wasting time reaching out to providers who have a closed waitlist. From there, you can narrow your search further by therapist characteristics, specialty, and whether you prefer in-person or online appointments. Once you find someone who looks like a good fit, you can reach out directly to confirm their availability and request an initial consultation.
How long does it typically take to get an appointment with a therapist?
Wait times for therapists in the UK vary widely depending on whether you go through the NHS or seek private care. Through the NHS, wait times typically range from a few weeks to several months depending on your area and the urgency of your referral. Private therapists are generally available much faster, often within a few days to a couple of weeks. Wait times also differ by therapist type. Counsellors tend to be more widely available than clinical psychologists, who hold a doctoral degree and are fewer in number. In addition, therapists who specialise in trauma, eating disorders, or child and adolescent therapy also tend to have longer wait times due to the limited number of professionals relative to demand.
What are my options if no therapists near me are accepting new patients right now?
If you are having difficulty finding a local therapist with availability, there are a few steps you can take. First, consider expanding your search to include online therapy, not just providers in your immediate geographic location. Online therapy has made it possible to see a licensed therapist in your area without needing to travel, and in many cases online providers have shorter wait times than local in-person practices. Second, your GP can serve as a helpful bridge while you wait. They can conduct an initial evaluation and, in some cases, connect you with local mental health services more quickly than a self-referral would. Third, if your symptoms feel urgent, community mental health services may be available regardless of your ability to pay for private care. They can offer psychiatric assessment, crisis intervention, and medication management to help stabilise your situation in the interim while you wait for a longer-term therapist.
