About Michael Swales Relationship Therapist
Michael Swales is a relationship psychotherapist specialising in trauma, addiction recovery, and ADHD. He holds accreditation with MBACP and NCPS Acc.
Swales offers couples counselling to help partners navigate relationship challenges and improve connection. His trauma-focused work uses somatic experiencing—a body-based healing approach that helps you listen to your body's signals rather than focusing only on thoughts and emotions. This approach is particularly valuable for those processing difficult experiences.
For individuals, Swales provides ADHD-affirming therapy and coaching, alongside sex therapy to address intimacy and sexual concerns. He also offers integrative counselling, which combines different therapeutic techniques for a holistic approach, and person-centred therapy, which emphasises empathy, understanding, and personal growth. General counselling sessions are available for those seeking support with a range of life challenges.
Addiction recovery work forms another key part of his practice. Rather than focusing solely on stopping a behaviour, Swales approaches recovery as a process of starting again with care and patience, addressing the underlying needs and patterns.
Whether you're seeking support for relationship difficulties, trauma recovery, ADHD management, or addiction concerns, Swales combines evidence-based therapeutic methods with a compassionate, individualised approach.
