Alistair Armitage

As a certified, fully insured, and accredited hypnotherapist and counsellor, I work holistically to support your mental and emotional well-being. Drawing on years of experience in person-centred, motivational, and integrative psychodynamic work, I offer a compassionate and tailored approach to therapy.

I work compassionately and confidently with queer, gender-questioning, and trans issues, drawing on both lived and professional experience in LGBTQ+ communities, polyamory and ENM, kink, neurodivergence, and alternative lifestyles. I have also completed the Pink Therapy trainer’s course on Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversities (GSRD) therapy.

While many of my clients come from these backgrounds, I am equally committed to helping anyone explore their unique therapeutic needs. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space informed by my lived experience in these communities, ensuring you feel understood and supported.

I am committed to continuous learning and personal growth to provide the best possible support to my clients. As a qualified and accredited Hypnotherapist and counsellor, I have pursued further study and hold a BACP-accredited degree-level qualification in counselling, aligning with high standards of practice to support my commitment to your well-being.

I bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. My dedication to ongoing education ensures that I work safely, ethically, and effectively within the UK Hypnotherapy and BACP Counselling Professional and Ethical frameworks.

I offer a free 20-minute assessment to determine if we’re a good fit for therapy, understand your needs and aims, and create a personalised therapy plan. Following this, we can schedule regular sessions in person or via Zoom as needed. Individual sessions are typically 1 hour but can be longer based on therapeutic need and presenting issues. The cost is £60 per hour, pro rata. Concessions are available for low-income clients and those experiencing hardship—please enquire if you are on a low income or receive UC/benefits.

I can provide one-to-one hypnotherapy and counselling, either in person in West Wales, SA39, or online, wherever you are, and I can also provide family constellations group sessions in person, location to be agreed. I am covid conscious and can align with your needs for safety in an in-person setting.  I also work at the Wellbeing Centre in Swansea one day per week, and can provide face to face sessions at this location.  

In addition to my counselling practice, I am a trained GSRD (Gender, Sex, Relationship Diversities) trainer, having completed specialised training with Pink Therapies. I bring compassion and confidence to my work with LGBTQ+ individuals, those in alternative relationship models (such as ENM and polyamory), gender-questioning and trans clients, as well as those in kink and power exchange relationships. My approach is rooted in providing a safe, non-judgmental space, enriched by my lived experience within these communities and relationship styles. I understand your unique challenges and dynamics and am here to support you with empathy and respect.

My goal is to help you start loving yourself the way you were always meant to. I will support you every step of the way on your journey to healing and self-acceptance.

A free 20 minute online assessment is available, bookable on my website.  This will enable us to assess whether I can meet your therapeutic needs and whether we will be a good fit for therapy together
