Blou Hyland

I have availability and am very flexible about my hours. I can start early or work evenings for those in employment, but do not work weekends. I have annual leave planned every 3 months but rarely for longer than 2 weeks.

I offer friendly, highly professional, online counselling sessions, in a gentle way. Based on kindness and compassion towards your unique situation. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, loneliness, trauma, loss or adjustment, I am here for you.

I am solution-focused practitioner, Psychotherapist and Counsellor. My dynamic style of Integrated counselling will help you function better, achieve goals and feel good about yourself.

My online practice includes a private membership, through my website, which provides additional resources and exclusive membership benefits. Through my online platform you can truly unlock your potential and learn the skills to heal your mind, body and soul.

I am a BACP accredited psychotherapist, which means I have completed over 500 hours of complex case counselling work. I also have an additional diploma in online counselling. I am a certified Future Basing Coach, which is an outcome focused approach for organising change, that can radically empower your life.

My background is extensive and eclectic across a range of full time employed careers in the NHS, LGBT services, Community Charities, alongside my own entrepreneurial creative arts business. All of these experiences have helped me become highly skilled in communicating and guiding others to unlock their full potential, in an organised and compassionate approach.

If you feel lost and are looking for holistic guidance, then I am here to help those dedicated to their own self improvement.

Don’t delay, you could feel better by the end of the day.

First sessions explore your experiences and the impact of them upon you. I take a detailed history, complete any assessments relevant to your situation and present a formulation of the right kind of approach, tools and techniques that can be offered to help you achieve your goals . You are given a treatment plan and an idea of how many sessions you may require. This can all be adjusted based on your existing coping skills, your strengths and engagement in therapy.

I have availability online and face to face in Swansea, Neath and Gorseinon with about two weeks notice.

My name is Blou (pronounced like the colour) and I offer friendly, highly professional, online and face to face counselling sessions, in a gentle way. Based on kindness and compassion towards your unique situation. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, loneliness, trauma, loss or adjustment, I am here for you.

I am a BACP accredited psychotherapist, which means I have completed over 500 hours of complex case work. I also have an additional diploma in online counselling. I am a certified Future Basing Coach, which is an outcome focused approach for organising change, that can radically empower your life.

My background is extensive and eclectic across a range of full time employed careers in the NHS, LGBT services, Community Charities, alongside my own entrepreneurial creative arts business. All of these experiences have helped me become highly skilled in communicating and guiding others to unlock their full potential, in an organised and compassionate approach. 

I work part time for the Global Health Company Bupa, which ensures my clinical skills are kept to a high standard for international and gold standards. 

I recently qualified as a Relationship Therapist and am excited to offer this service to people in need of improving the connection they have with their significant other, overcoming betrayal or simply wanting pre-marital skills to ensure healthy communication is central to a loving long lasting relationship.

I provide a lot of practical skills, tools, techniques and live demonstrations of what works, sometimes out side of the therapy room setting, if it feels safe for you. I believe in giving people life long skills so they can recover and maintain their strengths and resilience and not become a returning 'revolving door' client. 

Often the very solutions to our healing are on our doorstep and are free. My passion is to guide you to them and help you feel skilled and confident to cope without me.

I am solution-focused practitioner, Psychotherapist and Counsellor. My dynamic style of Integrated counselling will help you function better, achieve goals and feel good about yourself.

I have experience in successfully counselling people with: Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Worry, ADHD, BPD, EUPD, Trauma, Worry, Identity Expression, Loneliness, Loss and Adjustment, Dis-organisation, Confidence and Low Self Esteem.

I worked previously for 15 years in the NHS, initially in Addictions and then on multiple projects, some Telehealth, which supported people to make healthy choices and manage their own health and wellbeing goals. This led me to counselling after years of helping people in the health and social care sector.

I was also presented an award by HRH Queen Elizabeth II for my exemplary and innovative service redesign of a struggling community LGBT+ Charity into a Remote and online support service. People said it couldn't be done. Yet during the Covbid Pandemic, we were sought out to train other services in our successful model.

I have the following psychotherapy qualifications =

• SCQF level 11 Diploma in CBT Counselling

• Diploma in Online Counselling

• CBT for Complex PTSD

• Mindfulness Certificate

• Psychedelics Integration

• Internal Family Systems (parts theory)

I enjoy keeping my continuous learning and development up to date with regular courses and workshops that further enhance my holistic approach to empowering others. So far these have included:

• Trauma Relief for Humanitarians

• Intro to EMDR

• Working with LGBTQI

• Future Basing Coach

• Reiki Practitioner

• Theta Healing

• BioTerrain Medicine

• Permaculture Design Consultancy

I ask clients to complete an assessment and agreement in advance of session one, as well as make payment in advance, to cover costs in case of a failure to turn up.

I find the pre-assessment information reduces the time in your first session on formal clinical structures and allows more time for you to talk about your experiences. It sets the tone for how we will centre therapy around you and relate to each other, build trust and rapport. It also allows me to explain a hypothesis from the assessment and your experiences of a case formulation and potential treatment plan.

I work an appointment system from 8am until 8pm Monday to Friday and will consider weekend appointments if week day working hours are unavailable to you. 

I offer friendly, highly professional, online counselling sessions, in a gentle way. Based on kindness and compassion towards your unique situation. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, loneliness, trauma, loss or adjustment, I am here for you.

I am solution-focused practitioner, Psychotherapist and Counsellor. My dynamic style of Integrated counselling will help you function better, achieve goals and feel good about yourself.
