Helping you find the right psychotherapist for you

WELCOME! We are here for you. 

​We are a growing group of accredited psychotherapists working together to provide safe, accredited psychotherapy and counselling in Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot and Llanelli, and online.

We know that it can be hard to know where to find a good trusted psychotherapist and we are here to make it easier to take those first steps to find the right therapist for you.

As well as checking training, experience and accreditation you will want to find a therapist with whom you can connect (research suggests that a good relationship is key for successful therapy).

We invite you to read through the profiles of our psychotherapists on this website to find the right fit for you.  


​Safe, accredited, relational psychotherapy

Psychotherapists working with SPP are either accredited members of the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) or trainees working towards accreditation. UKCP is the leading organisation for psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors in the UK, and regulates the profession whilst promoting access to psychotherapy for all. THE UKCP register of therapists is also accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. https://www.psychotherapy.org.uk/about-ukcp/​

All therapists have completed or are completing a masters level, experiential training, including over 180 hours of their own psychotherapy. Having been a client and worked on our own issues allows us to work with you in depth with the highest level of empathy.

Our core therapists have all completed, or are undergoing advanced training in working with trauma with either Relational Change or with Janina Fishers Complex Trauma Certification level 2 

Contemporary, relational approach

Whilst each therapists style will be unique there are certain things that we all have in common.

We all offer a therapeutic relationship based on a contemporary, relational approach to psychotherapy which is informed by research, neuroscience and contemporary trauma theory.



Our therapists provide sessions online through zoom and other platforms during the COVID-19 crisis with the possibility of face to face sessions in some cases.

Affordable Therapy Service

We have for several years supported an Affordable Therapy Service under which psychotherapists in training provide high quality, supervised therapy at an affordable price. It provides opportunities to practice to trainees of the Welsh Psychotherapy Institute.
 
All WPI Psychotherapists in Training working on the affordable therapy service have completed at least two years of the Post Graduate Integrative or Gestalt Diploma in Psychotherapy Training Course, have acquired at least 100 hours of practice and are in Clinical Supervision, receiving one session of supervision for every six sessions of psychotherapy.

Prices vary according to the training and experience completed by each practitioner but are generally calculated so that they cover the costs of room hire, training, supervision and personal therapy.


Working in collaboration

In addition to providing therapy, we work in collaboration to improve the provision of mental health support in the local area.

​We do this by raising the profile of psychotherapy and building relationships across the health and care sectors. We have aspirations to provide training and collaborate on research in the local area.  

WHY PSYCHOTHERAPY?


​Talking to a trained counsellor or psychotherapist can alleviate the pressure of the difficult situations that we all face and help clients to work through challenging times, whilst at the same time giving you greater insight into yourself and relationships.

Psychotherapy works with  more fundamental patterns of relating to yourself and other people.
