Carmel's Warm Psychotherapy Practice in Swansea
Offering compassionate therapy services in the heart of Swansea.
Welcome to Swansea
There's something special about Swansea, isn't there? Maybe it’s the friendly faces you see on your morning walks by the lakefront or the laughter of kids playing in High Park. Every corner of this community feels alive with stories, and it has a way of wrapping you in warmth. When I moved here, I immediately fell in love with the mixture of lush parks and the tranquil lakeside. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, reflect, and truly connect with your surroundings.
In this vibrant neighbourhood, life can throw a lot at us. Whether you’re navigating the complexities of relationships or going through a tough time that feels overwhelming, sometimes all you need is someone to talk to. As a registered psychotherapist, I’m here to offer a safe space where you can explore those feelings. I understand how life transitions, stress, and trauma can weigh heavily, and I want to help you find your way through it all. Together, we can work on building resilience and uncovering the joy that can sometimes feel just out of reach.
How I Can Help
Healing from Trauma
<p>Trauma can leave deep marks that affect our everyday lives, often in ways we don’t even understand. With EMDR therapy, I’ve seen so many people rediscover their strength and resilience. This powerful method allows individuals to process traumatic memories, freeing them from the hold those experiences can have for years. It’s about finding your path to healing while feeling supported every step of the way.</p>
Managing Anxiety and Stress
<p>Anxiety can feel like a heavy weight, pulling you down when all you want is to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Here in Swansea, where nature is just a stone's throw away, I help my clients develop practical tools to manage that stress and anxiety. Together, we’ll work to identify triggers, challenge those overwhelming thoughts, and build a more peaceful mindset. You deserve to enjoy the beauty of our neighbourhood without the nagging worries in the background.</p>
Supporting Body Image and Eating Disorders
<p>Struggles with body image and eating can feel isolating, but they’re more common than you might think. In a community that values health and wellness, it’s important to have an open space to discuss these challenges. I offer support tailored to your needs, helping you cultivate a positive relationship with food and your body. It’s about embracing who you are and recognising your worth beyond those societal pressures.</p>
Navigating Life Transitions
<p>Life is a series of transitions, some exciting and others daunting. Whether you’re starting a new job, moving, or experiencing a significant change in your personal life, these moments can bring about a mix of emotions. In our sessions, I’ll help you navigate these shifts with clarity and confidence, exploring the feelings that come with change while equipping you with the tools to thrive in this beautiful journey of life.</p>
Swansea: A Community Like No Other
Swansea is more than just a place; it’s a tapestry of experiences, woven together by the people who live here. With High Park just a short stroll away, it’s no wonder so many of us cherish outdoor activities—whether it's jogging along the trails or enjoying a picnic by the lake. The community spirit here is palpable, from local cafes buzzing with laughter to neighbours chatting outside their homes.
As I walk around the lake and take in the scenery, I’m reminded of the importance of connection and support. It’s easy to feel lost among the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but in Swansea, there’s always a friendly face and a helping hand nearby. This community fosters an environment where we can not only live but truly thrive.

With the lakefront and parks reminding us of life’s simple joys, therapy becomes a part of your journey towards rediscovering those moments.
In our sessions, I aim to create a warm, inviting space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings. You’re not alone on this journey—together we can navigate the challenges and celebrate the victories, all while staying connected to the wonderful community we call home.
