Armed Forces Counselling in Arundel

We all struggle at times and sometimes it feels too much for us. Suffering reaches us in so many guises and we all react in our own way. Reaching out for professional help is an important step in working towards the changes that you want. Whether the past is holding you back, the future fills you with anxiety or you are struggling with the 'here and now' I would like to offer my help. There is only so much we can manage alone and sometime our closest relationships are too close to help us see more clearly, to make sense of our confusion and provide a safe place to explore who we really are. That's why I'm here - to help you.

I work with young people and adults. I have extensive experience of working with trauma and sexual and domestic abuse. The basis of my model is person-centred. I integrate other counselling approaches but always maintain a client-led process based on client need. I work relationally with clients to support them in their personal journey towards growth, understanding and hope. I am also a qualified clinical supervisor.

My job is to help you look after your emotional and mental wellbeing in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. We will work together to understand and clarify your concerns, explore your difficulties and identify meaningful and lasting changes you would like to make in order to improve your life. My job will not stop there as I will empower you to achieve your goals, find your own solutions to your problems, develop your own strengths and skills that you can use when dealing with life challenges.

Hello, there are many and varied reasons why people seek counselling or therapy with no problem being too big or too small. Modern day life can leave us struggling to balance work, family and relationships resulting in us experiencing feelings of failure, self doubt, low in confidence, feeling overwhelmed, confused, lost, defeated and burnt out. At times we can experience significant change and loss. We can be left with feelings of low mood and anxiety and struggle to make sense of our experience. Maybe we realise that difficult past events or life experiences continue to affect us.

Life today seems to be overloaded by a variety of stress in many spheres of existence. What should be enjoyable and fulfilling sometimes turns out to be the very cause of suffering. In the midst of the busy-ness of life, we do not take the time to address this suffering and instead criticise and blame ourselves. This could potentially leave us feeling confused and ashamed. Moreover shame does not heal the pain of suffering. Every human being has a need to be understood, accepted and validated because the human brain is wired for love. It is love that stimulates neurons and helps connect with other neurons in the brain.

I am passionate about helping clients explore their past experiences, learn ways to manage present moment distress, and look to the future with optimism and hope. I am an EMDR Consultant specializing in trauma and utilse EMDR to help clients lead a life free from PTSD symptoms. I offer a non-judgemental, supportive and curious environment to allow my clients to explore their strengths and learn about what is harder for them to do and why.

Many people I’m speaking with are experiencing an increase in their levels of anxiety, depression and stress due to living in more uncertain times. Do some of the goals you previously had now seen irrelevant or less realistic than they did a few years ago. I’m currently offering a bespoke online course of treatment specifically geared towards helping you through difficult times of uncertainty. Do you have hobbies and interests that have fallen by the wayside in recent years because you have been too busy with others things?

Counselling and Psychotherapy can be a space to explore current or past concerns, desires and hopes. You may be wanting to get to grips with an aspect of yourself that keeps tripping you up or is holding you back in some way. You may be struggling with current losses, relationship difficulties, adversity, or have a sense of longing that you cannot make sense of. You may have experienced a sense of low self-esteem/ self-worth due to early experiences of being misunderstood or unaccepted for who you are or have experienced neglectful parenting or trauma or simply need a space in your life to figure something out.

At times life can be difficult. Sometimes it may feel like life isn’t moving forward and you keep repeating the same old patterns and nothing changes. You may be dwelling on the past or worried about the present or the future. You may just be in a place of general unhappiness where you just don’t know what to do. In developing a better understanding of ourselves, increasing our awareness, and learning about how we operate as people we are able to make fresh choices, see new perspectives, change things, move forward and find our full potential. I believe in peoples capacity to thrive when they are given the right conditions to do so.

Sometimes it's hard to know where to start. We know something doesn't feel right. These feelings can consume and overwhelm us and stop us from moving forward. Whatever you are feeling, having a safe and confidential space to explore, within a non-judgemental relationship, can be the start to living a better life and looking at the future in a different way. You are unique and what you bring to therapy will be individual to you.
