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 trauma counselling itself
Trauma counselling here is gentle and led by you, drawing on methods designed for trauma including the Human Givens Rewind Technique, so a difficult memory is returned to ordinary recall.
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 trauma 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.

Cwmbran questions
Online Trauma Counselling in Cwmbran: common questions
Can I get online trauma 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.
Do I have to describe what happened in detail?
No. Methods like the Human Givens Rewind let us process a memory without you reliving it or even speaking the detail aloud.
Is it safe to do trauma work online?
Yes, when it is paced carefully. We go slowly, keep you grounded, and you stay in control of what we approach and when.
What if I get overwhelmed during a session?
We build in ways to settle and pause, and never move faster than feels safe. Being in your own space online can make that easier.
