You may be struggling with a specific issue and have been for a while. Or you may be going through a rough patch and are uncovering new and puzzling emotions. A previously happy relationship no longer feels right. Your approach to parenting suddenly feels like it is failing. Maybe you are mid life and finding you no longer recognise yourself. Life just feels overwhelming and getting out of bed is hard. It's not uncommon to feel a little lost and isolated in your life, and unsure how to move forward. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem can be part of that experience.
Using proven therapeutic techniques together we can understand what sits behind these emotions, how your previous experiences can be impacting your internal world and your relationships, and find a way forward to a more meaningful and balanced life.
Taking the step to contact someone for help can feel daunting. If you choose to take this step then I will follow up with a 15 minute call to give you a chance to see if you feel comfortable with me and we can set up your first appointment after that. We will go at the pace that suits you.
