Online Counselling for Eltham

Do you wonder whether your goals and aspirations have been influenced by society? Perhaps if you were truly living for YOU, your goals would look quite different. Anxiety can dominate our lives until we start uncovering what we truly want out of life. Radically accepting yourself - and understanding your true desires and values - can set you on a more meaningful and fulfilling path. Looking at our issues in a Holistic way allows us to understand ourselves better, which fosters self-compassion.

I work with adults and older adolescents who need support with a range of concerns. The people I work with may be experiencing difficulties with their mood, anxiety, for example, or struggling in their relationship with food or their body. My clients also speak with me about challenges that arise in their relationships and workplaces; or challenges specific to life stages, such as the perinatal life stage (from pre-conception through to post-natal and parenting). My clients are seeking support to navigate life's challenges, empathy, compassion, and to build skills and make changes in their life.
