Low Cost Counselling Therapy with SCS

Session Cost with SCS

SCS is a non-profit making organisation. Our counsellors provide therapy on a voluntary basis and receive no payment for their time or expenses. We are totally dependent on the financial contribution our clients make towards their counselling, which is in the form of a donation. All donations will go towards the rental cost of the rooms, telephone expenses and supervision.  Donations are received prior, or during, a session in cash or by bank transfer (BACS).  

​

The required donation per session is a low rate and for clients who have a limited income. For example, if you are unemployed, a student, retired or are working and in receipt of certain benefits, such as Universal Credit, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Housing Benefit or Pension Credit.

​

How to access Low Rate Counselling

We offer our service to anyone who lives in Swansea and is 18 years or older, regardless of outlook, religious persuasion, nationality or sexual orientation.

​

Individuals may refer themselves and can contact SCS for an appointment.  After an initial referral, one of our counsellors will contact you to arrange a suitable time.  Sessions last for 50 minutes and take place in our counselling centre in Swansea (or by other means such as telephone or online) usually on a weekly basis.

I offer Face To Face Sessions for Adults

You are important!

I understand that if you are struggling and at a difficult time of your life, it is often difficult to ask for help or to 'brush it to one side'.  I would like to remind you that you are important, to family and friends but most importantly yourself! It is never too late, be too busy, too difficult to take the time to help yourself.

My aims as a Counsellor are

​- To provide a fully confidential Service​ and provide a safe and secure environment for my clients​

​- I pride myself on being professional and non-judgemental in all aspects of my practice​

​- Each session will be individual to my clients and their needs.  I do not believe that 'one size fits all' and we will work together to identify the most appropriate treatment plan.

I have studied and qualified in Person Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Humanistic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and believe that in providing a multi-disciplinary service I am able to fully personalise each session, working toward helping my clients heal and become the best version of themselves they can be.

Christine O’Leary

Christine O’Leary BA Hons Psychology

PGCE, NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer, Systemic Family Constellations Facilitator

I work with Individuals and Couples

Hello, I am Christine, I am an experienced facilitator and personal development coach. 

My work is informed by Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Parts Work, Systemic Family Systems Constellations, and Non-Violent Communication (NVC).  

My experience includes helping people with feelings of anxiety when facing significant life changes including Menopause, Redundancy and Relationship Endings, Difficult Issues at Work, Work Life Balance, Relationship Issues, Weight Loss, Chronic Indecision, Creating New Habits and Increasing Confidence.  

When you work with me, we will explore your issue, and how you are thinking about your issue, where you are putting your attention and perhaps what you are not seeing. This work can loosen up those areas of your life where you feel stuck, and it can bring unhelpful beliefs and assumptions into your conscious awareness. When these shifts happen, new possibilities emerge, and you will be supported to make positive changes. 

My coaching is aimed at helping you experience yourself and your world in more helpful ways. NLP is very much about resourcing you to find the answers within yourself. 

Systemic Family Constellations looks beyond you as an individual, and offers a systemic view, placing you and your issue within the broader context of your birth family, current family, or your work organization. The issue you are grappling with may be systemic rather than personal, and it may therefore require a systemic resolution. 

My Systemic and NLP coaching includes working somatically with your embodied experiences. I am trauma-informed and understand the importance of a well-regulated nervous system. 

I am an NLP Master Practitioner and Certified Trainer. I studied NLP with John Seymour in Bristol and have also trained with Judith De Lozier one of the early founders of NLP. 

I am a Professional Member of the Association of NLP (ANLP).     

All ANLP members must meet the following requirements: 

• Qualifications: All member’s qualifications and certificates have been checked and verified by ANLP staff. 

• References: All members provide external references from either previous clients or supervisors to validate previous work that they have done. 

• Code of Ethics: All members sign up to and adhere to our Code of Ethics, which state that they will practice NLP in a responsible, ethical, and congruent way. 

• Complaints Procedure: All members are accountable via the ANLP independent Complaints Procedure, in the unlikely event that an issue should arise. 

I trained as a Systemic Family Systems Constellations Facilitator with the Centre for Systemic Constellations (CSC), based in London and Bristol. The CSC was formed in collaboration with Bert Hellinger the founder of Systemic Constellations work.
