Emma Quick

I am a qualified Relational, Integrative psychotherapist, Breathworker and Trauma Release Method (TRM) coach offering you a safe, confidential space to explore your emotions, individual concerns, experiences, hopes and goals.

My knowledge, tools, techniques and experience encompass Psychodynamic, Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) therapies. I have trained as a Couples counsellor, a Mindfulness and Compassion Focused practitioner, a Breathworker and a TRM facilitator. I can therefore tailor my approach to suit your individual needs and wishes.

My way of working is described as Relational, which means that I consider relationships to be very important and we will endeavour to build one that allows you to feel safe, understood and respected. We will explore your past experiences (including relationships) and identify ways in which they may still be influencing your thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, emotional well-being and current relationships. I also think its important to focus on areas of your life that can bring you Happiness, Joy, Compassion and Resilience and this is based on the current Positive Psychology evidence and research.

Research shows that surppressed and repressed negative emotions, experiences and trauma have adverse effects on our nervous system and overall physical health which can lead to physical complaints and chronic conditions. TRM is a form of somatic coaching that encompasses somatic coaching and bodywork techniques to help you release and integrate those emotions, experiences and trauma. This can help improve emotional, physical and mental health.

I am also a qualified breathworker and I offer monthly group Conscious Connected Breathwork sessions and 1-2-1 breathwork sessions.

I work with 2 Wish Upon a Star, Ty Hafan and I run SPARCL, which support families through child loss or terminal illness. 

I attend regular supervision and am a Rgistered member of the BACP (091133) and adhere to high professional and ethical standards.

I offed online therapy, breathwork and TRM (nationally) and face-to-face therapy, breathwork and TRM in Swansea at my beautiful studio. 

I work with individuals, couples and organisations to offer a collaborative, personalised experience that facilitates personal growth, emotional integration and a balanced nervous system.

I am approachable, compassionate and trustworthy; offering a safe, confidential environment for us to collaboratively explore your individual concerns and experiences and work towards the goals, change or acceptance you desire. There will be ongoing reviews to assess the way we are working together and make sure you are getting what you want from therapy.

The first session is an opportunity for us to explore if and how we should work togther. I will outline how I work and we will begin to explore what has brought you to therapy and how therapy may help.

I usually provide training on a Friday, however, with some notice I can do any day except Tuesday. My Public workshops are usually on the weekend.

Training usually runs from 10-4.30, but this is flexible depending on your needs.

Workshops run 11-4.30.

I am a psychotherapist/counsellor, trainer and work-shop facilitator working in the South Wales area. During my training on the HE Certificate in Counselling Skills and the Postgraduate Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (Integrative), I worked as a residential care worker with adults with learning difficulties (2 years) and with Young People (3 years). This experience (positive and negative) encouraged me to develop training that would help both staff and young people. I have since worked with Bereavement and loss in Cancer Information Support and Services (CISS) (2012 -2015) and 2 Wish Upon a Star (2015 - Present). This year I have also set up SPARCL, who also support families through child loss with Support groups and workshops.

I also hold a degree in Genetics (2:1) and a Doctorate in Genetic toxicology and I worked as a Research assistant for 2 years.

I started providing training in 2017 to Residential Care Homes that supported young people. Since then the training has expanded to other organisations and to public workshops.

Training is £360 for the day for organisations, or bespoke training can be arranged at £60 per hour. For public workshops I charge £30 per person.

These are examples of previous trainings and workshops that I have run, but as mentioned I offer bespoke training and I can tailor the training to your desired topic and needs: -

• Understand How Early Life Experiences Shape our Behaviours and Relationships (An Introduction).

• An Introduction to Mental Health Problems in Young People.

• Improving Communication in Residential Care (An Introduction to basic Communication skills)

• An introduction to Mental Health and how to promote in within the workplace.

• How to improve communication within the workplace.

• An introduction to Loss, Bereavement and Grief

• A Mindful Journey of Self-discovery
