Domestic Abuse Counselling in Swansea

Have you experienced a difficult or traumatic past and currently living life in 'survival mode'? Would you like to learn how to move beyond survival into triumph? From Survivor to Thriver? If your answer is yes, then I can help. You see I was you once-I have come through cancer, domestic abuse , depression, anxiety, divorce, bankruptcy, trauma and loss. Have you tried conventional counselling methods and found no progress has been made? If so, then here is the time to try something unique and new!

Life can be dark and confusing at times, and right now it has been a long year in a pandemic, so it is understandable to feel lonely, low, scared or hopeless. Whatever our reason for going to therapy, it’s about having someone listen; to our fears, anxieties, losses and, our hopes and joys to be heard. I offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore these difficulties and gain a deeper understanding and connection to yourself. Alongside a talking therapy space I also offer creative psychotherapy.

I'm an experienced Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). I'm based in Gorseinon (details when you enquire) and work with Adults 18+. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, panic, depression, anger, stress, low self esteem and the lasting impacts of a difficult childhood. If you are feeling stuck or that you have lost your way, I can help you explore what you are feeling by offering you a safe, non-judgemental and confidential place to share what's on your mind.

It is ok to need help and support sometimes, I provide a warm and confidential space where clients can talk openly and freely, without judgment. As an integrative therapist I have many different models of working to suit each client as I believe that all of us are unique. I can help you learn about yourself and the relationships around you, seeing a different perspective is often very powerful. I believe in empowering my clients with the tools they need for change and moving forward. I am positive and nurturing, I use humour and occasional challenging to build a trusting relationship where clients can explore their thoughts

Hi my name is Karen, I am an experienced Integrative Counsellor and accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP Accred). I have over 16 years of counselling experience working with a wide range of issues including loss and bereavement, anxiety/stress, depression, relationships, abuse and trauma. Life can bring a variety of challenges which can sometimes leave us feeling confused, defeated and lost. My aim is to provide a safe, confidential space where I can support you with whatever difficulties and challenges you might be facing and find more positive ways of managing these.

Welcome - I offer tailored confidential therapy to help you create a rewarding life by treating issues such as anger, stress, anxiety, depression, confidence and self-esteem, trauma (Trauma Rewind Treatment) phobias, panic, relationships, family issues, styles of relating, communication, including loss and bereavement work concerning Adults and Young People.

I specialise in working with adults and young people living with the effects of the trauma of childhood sexual abuse , and rape and sexual assault. You may be living with overwhelming anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares, panic attacks, self-harm, addictions and suicidal thoughts. Sometimes you might feel as though you do not know who you are or that you have no worth. I can also work with you if you have experienced other types of trauma or if you are feeling paralysed or overwhelmed by your emotions or having difficulty coping with everyday life and you do not know the reason why and you do not know how to make a change.

As an experienced integrative counsellor I see clients come into therapy for many reasons from experiencing crisis, to feeling alone or feeling generally unhappy with their lives. Understanding the client need or goals allows me to use different approaches or techniques that are the most benefit to the client. As a counsellor I offer a safe non judgemental space allowing the client to explore and identify underlying causes and gain new insights into the way the client is feeling bringing about individual change and a more positive way of being.

Over the 40 years of my nursing career, I have witnessed how an individual's mental health can be just as fragile as their physical being, and this should be cared for just as equally. It is for this reason that I decided to pursue and extend my career into Professional Counselling. I practice an integrative model within my methodology, which is the belief that everyone is individual and requires a tailored approach unique to their circumstance. I offer a 15 minute no obligation introduction session.

Starting the journey to emotional well-being may seem daunting, but with the help of a kind, professional and deeply empathic therapist alongside you, it can become the most important undertaking you ever begin. Whatever issues you are struggling with right now, change is possible and inevitable as soon as you choose to explore exactly what you need and which parts of your life are not working as well as you hope right now. As a therapist I walk beside my clients and together we can explore exactly what it is you need to help you make the changes necessary to reclaim a full and balanced life.

Often in life we get stuck in patterns which, though once useful ways of being and relating, have now outgrown their usefulness to us, perhaps beginning to get in our way even. Psychotherapy can offer both the space to express, grasp and understand these patterns and then the support and challenge to grow in ways which seem right for you. I am currently seeing clients in person or online. I draw on a range of sources to bring my curiosity to meet you as a whole person. I am interested in your thoughts, feelings, your actions and what may be going on in your body as well as what may emerge in the here and now of our relationship.

I offer individual psychotherapy and couples therapy in Swansea, South Wales. The current COVID-19 crisis is unprecedented in our lifetimes and challenges us all in new ways which are unique to each of us. The losses of many my feel too great, the stresses overwhelming, symptoms of depression or anxiety may be triggered, relationships changed, unhelpful patterns of thinking feeling and behaving may resurface, and our values, priorities and perspectives on life may need updating. It may not be all bad, there are some welcome changes for some, although this can cause feelings of guilt. Counselling or Psychotherapy may help.
