Barbara Matheson
Counsellor, MBACP
Things may have become overwhelming, difficult to manage, or you just feel stuck and don't know how to move on. You are maybe dealing with feelings of anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, low mood , anger, sadness or loss . You may be struggling with a relationship, a stressful life event or redundancy. Perhaps you're not sure what to expect from counselling or wondering if it's the right approach for you. My approach can help you understand yourself better and explore ways to bring about positive change. I work with individuals age 18 and over: there's no upper age limit.
I'm an experienced warm and approachable counsellor offering a safe confidential space for you to explore your issues and concerns . A unique space to just be yourself. My counselling approach can be very effective with a range of issues e.g. depression, anxiety, university student issues, relationships, stress, bereavement, women's issues, and self esteem.
To help you decide if we're a good fit and to find out more about counselling I offer an optional 30 minute low cost online consultation . I also offer some concessions for counselling sessions so please ask. You can take a look at my website for more information about me and my approach, then you can contact me to ask any questions/ make an appointment.
