About me
I'm Liam Zamudio, a counsellor and hypnotherapist for adults (18+) in Cardiff and online across the UK. Much of my work is with trauma and its after-effects, anxiety and overthinking, and low self-worth. I also work a great deal with addiction and substance use, and with relationship difficulties, alongside stress, low mood, anger, boundaries and emotional regulation. These are my main areas rather than a full list, so if you're not sure whether I can help, ask me in a free, no-pressure phone call or drop me an email.
You might be managing work and home life while privately feeling exhausted, anxious, angry, disconnected or overwhelmed. Perhaps your mind won't switch off. Maybe drinking, drugs or another habit has started to take more than it gives, your relationships keep hitting the same problems, or something from your past keeps affecting the present. You don't need a neatly organised story to come to counselling; we can start with whatever you're able to bring.
We'll work out together what helps you. Some sessions may involve making sense of experiences you've rarely spoken about; others may focus on practical ways to respond differently to something troubling you now. I also offer hypnotherapy where it's appropriate and agreed with you.
I aim to be warm, straightforward and thoughtful. There is room for uncertainty, silence and humour, and you won't be expected to disclose everything before you feel ready. We'll regularly check how the work feels and whether it is helping.
I welcome adults of all genders, backgrounds and identities. Sessions are available face to face in Cardiff (CF14), as walk-and-talk sessions outdoors, or online, with evening and weekend appointments. Limited concession places are available; please ask.
I also work with organisations and workplaces, offering talks, workshops and mental health initiatives. Here, too, my starting point is to understand what people are actually dealing with, and what support could make a difference in their working day.
Training, qualifications & experience
My approach is pluralistic with a person-centred foundation. I start by understanding what you need, then draw on whatever fits you. That may include CBT, ACT, DBT, Gestalt, solution-focused methods or clinical hypnotherapy, among others. I'm an Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and work under regular clinical supervision.
My background includes almost 15 years as a criminal justice professional, working with people affected by trauma, addiction and complex mental health difficulties.
I'm currently studying for a research-based Level 6 diploma (Research in Counselling), and I keep reading and researching new approaches to improve my practice.

- Level 6 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (Research based) - In Progress
- Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice
- Level 4 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Skills
