Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Experiences of sexual abuse can affect safety, trust, identity, boundaries, relationships, self-worth, and your connection to your own body. The impact can be long-lasting and may manifest in many ways. My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and non-judgemental. I provide a space where you can move at your own pace, make sense of what you have experienced, and begin to rebuild safety, trust, and a stronger sense of self.

Jimi Katsis
Registered Psychotherapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Sexual abuse breaks something fundamental—your sense of safety in your own body, your ability to trust, your right to say no. The impact doesn't end when the abuse ends. It shows up in relationships, in how you feel about yourself, in anxiety or depression or dissociation that doesn't make sense until you connect it back.
Many survivors spend years not naming it as abuse, minimizing what happened, or believing they should be "over it" by now. There's no timeline for this. Your nervous system is still protecting you from something that felt life-threatening, even if rationally you know you're safe now.
We work carefully and at your pace. This isn't about forcing you to relive everything in graphic detail—that re-traumatizes, it doesn't heal. Instead, we work to help your nervous system understand that the threat is over, while processing what happened in a way that doesn't overwhelm you.
You're not broken. Your responses make complete sense given what you survived. Healing is possible, but it takes time, safety, and someone who understands trauma from the inside. If you're ready to explore this work, reach out. We'll start with a free consultation to see if I'm the right fit.

Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Sexual abuse is an incredibly painful thing to experience, as your therapist I am here to be with you, reminding you that you are not alone. We can explore what you have experienced without fear of it being "too much". Therapy is a space wherein you can say and do anything, and I am here to be your support throughout this, allowing the pain to have a space to dissipate in. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
What happened to you was not your fault—and healing is possible.
Surviving sexual abuse can leave lasting imprints—shame, fear, disconnection from your body, and a deep sense of mistrust. These experiences often create protective parts that help you survive but may now be keeping you from fully living. In our work together, we move at your pace, always honoring your system’s wisdom. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and gentle somatic practices like TRE, I help you build safety from the inside out, reconnect with your body, and begin to unburden the parts of you that are still carrying the pain. You don’t have to face this alone. You are worthy of safety, healing, and wholeness.

Cardiff's identity as the Welsh capital creates a therapy culture shaped by Wales's distinct national identity — including a meaningful demand for Welsh-language therapy, particularly for clients who find expressing emotional complexity most natural in their first language. Cardiff University and Cardiff Metropolitan University maintain active clinical training programs, and the city's large student population generates sustained demand for therapists addressing academic pressure, identity, and young adult transitions. Cardiff and Vale University Health Board provides NHS mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Pontcanna, Roath, and Cardiff Bay. The city's growing diversity, driven by university populations and recent immigration, is increasing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
