Are you feeling that you need a supportive relationship to help with issues in your life? At different times in life we may feel overwhelmed, alone or stuck and it can help to talk in a non judgemental setting. You may be considering therapy for many reasons and the first step is to just make contact. This can bring feelings of nervousness but it can also be a very exciting moment. You can ask for the help and support you need. It’s very important that you feel completely comfortable with your counsellor, that they are a person you can share all of yourself with.

Maybe something in your life isn’t sitting right — a shift in identity, a quiet grief, a sense of stuckness or disconnection. A feeling that you’ve lost your way; or perhaps never quite found it. You may be in a time of change, wondering who you are now, or holding stories that feel tangled, heavy, or unheard. Perhaps you’re living with sorrow or confusion that few people in your life seem to understand - or respect. Therapy can be a place to honour what's missing, and gently (re)connect with what is here. It is a place where you can feel seen. I offer a warm and nurturing space, supporting you in this tender and sacred work.

Are you struggling with your emotions and the moment, are they swinging up and down, you can't quite pinpoint why you feel the way you do? Is Covid and lockdown, tiering and all the various restrictions put in place, causing you to overthink what is going on for you and in your home? Or maybe Covid has raised some old memories and you're struggling to put them aside - maybe it feels like someone is controlling you or that you don't have any control? All you want to do is get on with life, not much to ask, but all this seems to be getting in the way.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
