We all experience times of difficulty in our personal or professional lives when events or relationships feel overwhelming, or we can feel a loss of direction or purpose.

Talking to a trained counsellor can help to make sense of those challenging times and offers a way through them, moving towards a better understanding of yourself and your feelings. I work with individuals from all walks of life and backgrounds, coming to me with a diverse range of problems.

Maybe you are struggling to cope or feeling hopeless, down and sad

You might be experiencing these as stress or anxiety, panic attacks, feeling low or depressed, problems with addiction, or maybe harming yourself in some way.

Maybe something just does not feel right and you are not sure why

Relationship problems, family issues, trauma and post traumatic stress, issues with confidence or self-esteem.

Maybe you have been holding onto something for a long time or trying to make sense of new thoughts and feelings

These might include family issues, sexuality, trauma and post traumatic stress, grief and loss, feeling sad, difficulties at work or in

retirement, struggling with friendships.

Whatever brings you to counselling, you and your life experiences are unique, and seeking therapy is an opportunity, away from family and friends, to explore and make sense of how you are feeling.

Psychotherapy can be a rewarding experience where you can gain self-awareness and resilience to challenge your established ways of thinking by adapting and developing new ways of coping that work for you. New perspectives and understanding can empower you to make meaningful choices and changes. This might be difficult at times, but rest assured I will be alongside you with a warm, compassionate and supportive environment where you can be heard and understood.

If you are unsure whether counselling might be useful for you, please do get in touch and we can talk about how you are feeling and whether therapy might help.
