Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
I work with my clients to create safety within our sessions, building trust and transparency, collaboration and mutuality, encouraging autonomy, empowerment and choice. With an awareness that survivors of past abuse often feel isolated and misunderstood, I work in a way which validates your experiences and emotions, normalising your reactions to trauma. Various techniques can be helpful to enable clients to stay present and manage distressing memories or flashbacks. Techniques such as breathwork, mindfulness and sensory awareness can be useful tools in managing trauma symptoms. Some CBT may be used to challenge distorted beliefs and develop a more balanced perspective. Supportive psychotherapy focuses on strengthening your resilience and coping skills. Also using somatic experiences to help you become more aware of and release tension stored in the body. This approach can alleviate symptoms and promote overall well-being.

Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
I have worked with a number of people who have sought support because of being in an abusive relationship. In my clinical experience, at least, there is often a struggle between the part of the person that knows they are being victimised, and another part that finds it very difficult to leave and imagine different possibilities (being alone; or being in an overall caring and supportive relationship). Domestic abuse also takes place between family members, who are not in an intimate relationship (for example parents towards their children, and they other way around).
Please get in touch, if you think you are or have been in any way part of an abusive or violent family dynamic, and would like to think about this with a mental health professional.

Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
In situations where someone is recovering from DV, there may need to be toggling between assessing first things first proactive steps to get out of or mitigate a dangerous situation. From there, the approach may be building practice with polyvagal and other stabilizing nervous system support. Then when there is more spaciousness deeper trauma work may be helpful. We've weaved with clients between these different needs organically, as the process is not always linear. We also support folks seeking ***safe*** peer group support as a helpful adjunct once they and their dependents, if any, are out of immediate danger.

Swansea is Wales's second city and a coastal university town — home to Swansea University and University of Wales Trinity Saint David — generating significant student mental health demand and academic training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. The city has a distinct Welsh identity, and a meaningful number of residents prefer Welsh-language therapy, particularly for emotionally complex work best expressed in their first language. Swansea Bay University Health Board provides NHS mental health services, with a private practice community concentrated in Sketty, Uplands, and the Marina. Swansea's post-industrial character — shaped by the decline of its copper smelting and coal industries — means therapists frequently work with intergenerational economic stress and community resilience themes.
