About me

I'm Dr Nicola Sutton, an HCPC-registered Forensic Psychologist with eleven years of clinical experience working with adults.
My background began in secure NHS settings, working with some of the most complex presentations in the system. That depth shapes how I work now - I bring genuine clinical curiosity to understanding each person's particular pattern, not just the label they've arrived with.

In private practice I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, trauma, or the sense that they keep ending up in the same place no matter what they try. Some come with something specific they want to process and move past. Some want to understand the pattern underneath. Most want both.

I use three approaches, each doing a specific job:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) - for processing trauma and stuck emotional responses, particularly where talking alone hasn't shifted things.

DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) - for building practical tools to manage intense emotions, tolerate difficult periods, and improve relationships. I lead DBT services in the NHS and received the Association of Psychological Therapies Award for Excellence in DBT.

CAT (Cognitive Analytic Therapy) - for understanding relational patterns, where they came from, and how to start doing something different.

The work is practical and specific. Not strategies that only work when everything is calm, something that holds in real life.

I work online and in person from Llanelli, South Wales. You're welcome to visit my website for more information or to get in touch directly by email or phone. If I'm with a client when you call, please leave a voicemail or send a text and I'll come back to you as soon as I can.
