Ruth Hadland
Trauma Therapist, Cardiff
Welcome. I am a licensed counsellor offering therapy in person in Cardiff and online to anyone based in the UK. If you are here, then you could be taking that brave first step towards reaching out for support.
Perhaps you are curious about how counselling can bring positive change in your life. You may have been through a difficult experience, like a bereavement or relationship breakdown. Maybe symptoms of depression and anxiety are holding you hostage, or you could be a survivor of abuse. Unresolved trauma means that something that has happened to you in the past is making it hard to cope with life in the present.
​
I am here to help. My promise to you is to create a safe space where all parts of you are welcome, listened to, and attended with care. I am an integrative psychotherapist with training in somatic approaches to trauma, which means that I will pay gentle attention to how symptoms show up in the body and can provide you with tools to safely regulate your nervous system.
​
If this sounds like a good fit for you, I'd love to talk more about how I can support you.
Counselling areas include: Anxiety, Burn-out, Childhood Abuse, Depression, Dissociation, Domestic Violence, Grief, Identity, Life Transitions, Loneliness, Personality Disorders, Relationship Problems, Sexual Assault, Self-esteem, Spirituality, Trauma/Complex Trauma, Work related stress.
"You have been my witness, my champion, a light in the dark. Your magical ability to sort my thoughts into something cohesive, helping me see what’s really there, will be missed. Through you I have come to know and love myself more deeply than ever before."
"I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without your support I don’t think I would have been able to find myself again."
“You have helped motivate me and helped me see my worth” “I have had many counsellors throughout my life but none who I felt had actually helped me or who I could connect with like I have felt with you. I will always be grateful for your compassion, wisdom and encouragement”
