Life in Swansea
Why people in Swansea reach out
Swansea curves around its bay beside the Gower peninsula, a city of real beauty that also carries the marks of industrial decline. A large student population, insecure work and pockets of deep deprivation all shape what people here carry, beneath the easy access to wild coast.
Where work follows shifts and the rhythm of the docks, online sessions bend around unsociable hours rather than asking you to fit your life around them.
Swansea is home to Swansea University (Singleton and Bay campuses) and Morriston Hospital under Swansea Bay University Health Board; the DVLA's headquarters is based at Morriston in the city.
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.

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

Swansea questions
Online Trauma Counselling in Swansea: common questions
Can I get online trauma counselling if I live in Swansea?
Yes. I work with people right across Swansea, from the centre and the marina 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.
