Mrs Vanessa Evans

Registered Counselor

Experienced Relational Integrative Counsellor/ Supervisor and EMDR psychotherapist.

About Me

I offer a supportive space for you to explore how past experiences shape your present. We can work together to understand your unique relational patterns, fostering healthier connections. Using EMDR, we gently process distressing memories, helping you find calm and move forward. My integrative approach is tailored to your needs, providing practical support for lasting change. Clients seeking a compassionate, flexible way to heal often find our work together helpful.

Approach

My experience with relational, integrative work and EMDR shapes how we explore patterns—slow, attentive sessions that balance processing with reflective conversation. In Swansea or online, in English, sessions feel contained and collaborative: we set achievable aims, check in on progress and I offer gentle pacing between meetings when needed. You’ll practise grounding and practical strategies alongside targeted EMDR to process distressing memories and map relational themes into everyday choices. This way of working often suits adults, couples and individuals seeking steady, practical change for anxiety, grief, addiction or relationship difficulties.
