My website

You have already taken a brave and important step towards satisfying your own needs, by seeking help, as you are doing by searching this site. Our task would be to find ways to build on this ability, by safely getting in touch with difficult and unpleasant feelings held in your body, to allow you to continue making the positive changes you want in your life,and find confidence in your ability to continue and control this process. You have already shown that you can think outside of your difficulty and adapt in order to change: Let's work together to work out what these changes could be.

We can find ways towards acceptance of the loss or change of a wished-for future or identity, whether through loss of part of the self through illness or disability, or of a loved other (person or pet) - we hold this grief in our bodies, but in recognising the feelings, we can change the stories that we attach to them and take control of our futures.

We would always work at your pace, together, in a calm and manageable direction towards useful change. Please contact me (phone/email/website) to have a brief discussion about the issues affecting you and the ways that I work. I'm BACP accredited and recognised as a counsellor with MS experience by MS-UK (The Multiple Sclerosis Charity).

Many difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, grief or chronic illness/disability can cause us to feel "stuck" in a particular way of feeling. We can use our bodies to investigate this "stuckness", in order to find a flexibility and belief in your power to change what might currently feel too difficult.

I work in a conversational, person-centred way, trying to understand your experience and building a rapport that allows us to think and feel at depth. Using the body is a way of doing this: Recognising our internal reactions to particular sensations can help us "catch sight" of emotions; helping us respond to, and build control over feelings that might sometimes feel overwhelming.
