Couples Counselling in Swansea
Throughout our life-time there will always come a time when we all struggle with issues. I believe that we always do the best we can when those issues arise, even though sometimes we haven’t yet developed the skills to deal with them in an effective and healthy way. I think that this is where counselling can help - I see my role as a provider of a safe non-judgemental place where learning, growth and change can happen. And everyone can do it, whether you are neurotypical or neurodivergent.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or are carrying the impact of difficult experiences such as trauma or loss. Many come feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward. Reaching out can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a warm, safe space where you can be yourself and feel truly heard. Together, we gently explore your experiences, helping you make sense of your feelings, rebuild a sense of safety, and reconnect with your inner strength, at your own pace.

This may relate to family relationships, early attachment experiences, friendships, or adult partnerships where connection has felt unsafe, inconsistent, or confusing.

Therapy with me provides a steady space to rebuild self-trust, develop healthier boundaries, and feel more secure in yourself and your relationships.

The most important aspect of Psychotherapy is, in my opinion, the relationship between you and your therapist.
It takes courage to reach out and ask for help. It's the first step towards change. It's a brave step, and a step worth taking. Change starts with you. Its hard to take this sort of journey alone. You need someone by your side that you can trust, that you have confidence in, and someone who believes in you too. It's a difficult process to revisit the past and to heal from it. Sometimes it's absolutely necessary in order to move on with your life and be your best version of yourself. The past can't be changed of course, but the way you live with it can be.

Adverse childhood experiences and other difficult or traumatic experiences later in life can have a profound effect on how we view ourselves, our relationship with others and the wider world, usually leading to a mixture of vulnerability as well as resilience.

I founded Traumaform CIC in 2017 where I also work alongside other practitioners who are trained in specific Trauma Therapies or are on placement with Traumaform where concessions can be available.

Perhaps this emotional distress whether it be anxiety, low mood, is impacting on your relationships, work and your home life.
The therapy relationship is key to making change and the need for someone to feel safe to share their distress. I consider it a real privilege to support people to gain insight into their difficulties, manage their internal struggles, reduce distress, learn new skills, build resilience and work towards living a life in line with their values.

For counselling to work it requires a safe, trusting relationship.
You are probably feeling very upset, alone and confused, maybe even ashamed and wondering if counselling could help? Everyone who comes to therapy has a unique set of issues but the underlying need to share the distress and be understood, is true for everyone. If you are struggling with parenting, postnatal depression, miscarriage or your identity during a life transition, you are not alone. I have lots of experience working with women (and men) who are struggling with life and want to feel better than they currently do. I also help younger people and teens who may have self esteem issues, feel sad, anxious or be self harming.

Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
