Most people at some point will find themselves feeling low, anxious or caught in negative thought patterns that make them feel stuck, overwhelmed or hopeless. Many of us accept this as our lot or simply feel bad for feeling sad. However, by exploring difficult thoughts and feelings, we begin to understand why we think, feel and behave as we do. This increased self-awareness paves the way for increased self-compassion and change: when we stop beating ourselves up, or learn how to challenge our critical inner voice, we free up head space to work out what we really want from life (and feel ok about asking for it).
I'm a BACP Accredited therapeutic counsellor specialising in young adults and adults with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, low self-esteem or relationship difficulties. I also have experience of working with survivors of rape and sexual abuse, including historic childhood abuse as well as more recent traumatic events.
You might be going through a challenging life transition or bereavement, or you might be struggling with a particular issue from your past. Whatever you need support with, I'll provide a calm, reflective and judgment-free space where we can explore what's going on for you and help you find ways to thrive rather than simply survive.
