Life in Cwmbran

Why people in Cwmbran reach out

Cwmbran is a post-war new town in the south-east Wales valleys, built around a planned centre near Newport. Its new-town origins, a spread-out layout and an economy tied to a few employers can leave people feeling stretched and short of close networks.

In tightly-held valley communities a long way from specialist help, a secure video link closes the distance and keeps the work private.

Cwmbran is the main town of Torfaen and lies beside The Grange University Hospital at Llanfrechfa, the specialist critical-care hospital opened by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board in 2020.

The relationship counselling itself

Relationship counselling here, for couples or individuals, slows down the pattern you are caught in and builds healthier ways of hearing and being heard.

The approach is the same wherever you live, so rather than repeat it on every page you can read it in full — the methods, what each session covers and fees — on the main relationship counselling page and on how I work.

How online sessions work

Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, you join each session from any private space using a phone, tablet or laptop — no software to install, no waiting room and no journey at either end.

Finding support in Cwmbran

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Cwmbran, you can access NHS psychological therapies through your GP or local primary mental health support service. You can find support through the CALL Mental Health Helpline for Wales, free and confidential on 0800 132 737.

Private sessions with me usually mean you can start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout; I am glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.

Cwmbran questions

Online Relationship Counselling in Cwmbran: common questions

Can I get online relationship counselling if I live in Cwmbran?

Yes. I work with people right across Cwmbran, from the town centre outwards, and anywhere else in Wales, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.

Can I come on my own, without my partner?

Yes. A great deal can change when one person shifts the pattern; you do not need to attend as a couple to do useful work.

Can we join the session from different locations?

Yes. Online makes it easy for couples in different places, or juggling childcare, to attend together.

Will you take sides?

No. We look at the pattern the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, not at who is to blame.
