At different stages in our lives we are thrown many curved balls. How do we cope when they come our way? Sometimes we might feel completely unable to find a way through. We may become overwhelmed and so distressed we cannot think and get stuck in negative patterns. Our sleeping, drinking and eating patterns may start to change. Our family relationships may become more difficult. We might be angry, more conflictual or want to withdraw and hide. At times like this it can help to have someone non-judgmental, compassionate and completely impartial to support us find a way through and help us develop some essential survival skills.
I support many individuals, (children to elders); couples (new, long term - including those considering separating) and families (planning or expecting parents through to those with adult children) to find their way through these often challenging transitions.
I will work with you either individually or as a couple or family to help you better able to understand and manage your past experiences, thinking, emotions, communication styles and behaviours. This increase in self knowledge should lead to improved communication and connection with others and thus ultimately a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
