NEW SERVICE:
Pathway Counselling: Transforming Trauma (May 2026 – May 2027)

Pathway Counselling has reopened under the parent charity PATH at 19 Market Street, Haverfordwest, launching a specialised one-year project to address complex trauma, unresolved ACEs ( Adverse Childhood Experiences ), and neurodivergent presentations in Pembrokeshire.

Key Service Highlights

• Cost & Accessibility: Free at the point of access, with an average referral-to-assessment time of 1–3 weeks.
• Delivery: Hybrid options available (in-person, online, or telephone) operating three days a week (Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays).
• Proven Impact: Previous evaluations demonstrate clinical effectiveness, with average PHQ-9 depression scores dropping from 19.1 (moderately severe) to 7.1 (minimal).

The 20 plus-Week Staged Recovery Pathway

1. Stabilisation Phase: A 6-week foundational block.
2. Trauma-Informed Counselling: A subsequent 12-week block of 1:1 deeper therapeutic exploration.
3. Trauma Tool Kit (TTK) Workshops: An optional 6-week experiential group psychoeducation and trauma-sensitive yoga course led by Meriel Goss. Cohorts run in October 2026 and January 2027, with tailored groups for Men, Women, and LGBTQ+ individuals.
4. Integration & Aftercare: Two follow-up sessions alongside structured community partner support.

Client Onboarding Criteria

• Clinical Suitability: Designed for early intervention and long-term recovery. Not a crisis service. Clients must be stable enough to engage safely, meaning no suicide attempts within the last 6 months and no active legal proceedings requiring evidence.
• Commitment: Clients must actively commit to the 18-week journey, use the provided workbooks, and maintain reliable attendance.
• Availability: Must be consistently available on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays.
• Because we operate on a part-time basis, we will open and close referrals dynamically in line with our current capacity to ensure safe wait times and protect our team. See our social media regarding this.

Referrals & Contact

Referrals will open and close dynamically based on part-time capacity to prevent unmanaged waiting lists.
