Online Relationship Counselling · Pontypridd
Online relationship counselling for Pontypridd, by secure video. From a base in Hove I work with people across Pontypridd — from the town centre and the old bridge to the streets around the Rhondda confluence — with the same BACP-registered, confidential support as an in-person session, and no journey.
In and around Pontypridd
Life in Pontypridd
Pontypridd stands where the Rhondda meets the Taff, a valleys town shaped by coal and its passing. Insecure work, money pressure and the isolation of the tight valley communities all shape what people here carry.
In tightly-held valley communities a long way from specialist help, a secure video link closes the distance and keeps the work private.
Pontypridd, in Rhondda Cynon Taf where the Rhondda meets the Taff, hosts the University of South Wales Treforest campus; healthcare for the area is provided by Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board.
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.
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.

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Pontypridd, 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.

Pontypridd questions
Yes. I work with people right across Pontypridd, from the town centre and the old bridge outwards, and anywhere else in Wales, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
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.
Yes. Online makes it easy for couples in different places, or juggling childcare, to attend together.
No. We look at the pattern the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, not at who is to blame.
