Bereavement Counselling in Chester

I know how important it is to look after our emotional well being irrespective of age. Stresses, strains and anxieties can hit at anytime. It maybe a current situation or something from our past which impacts on our ability to manage our current situation. Even anticipation of future events can impact on us at an emotional level. There are many reasons why counselling can be beneficial including low self-esteem, low self-confidence, bullying, family issues, bereavement , infant loss , relationship issues, and anger to name but a few, It takes strength and courage to acknowledge you may need help.

I am a warm, empathic counsellor working with the person-centred approach. I am registered with the BACP and primarily work with individuals. I have experience working with bereavement and loss , anxiety and low mood and trauma of all kinds, from childhood abuse to PTSD. I also have experience working with post addiction recovery.

Most of my clients have experienced past trauma which has led to them suffering from anxiety, including disorders such as OCD and PTSD. I am also an experienced bereavement counsellor having volunteered at a hospice since 2015. The majority of my clients contact me because they are experiencing unwanted thoughts, emotions, behaviours and memories that are causing them difficulties. I am experienced in helping clients with repetitive, unwanted thoughts and memories which are often a result of abuse. Common presenting issues are anxiety, depression, insomnia, low confidence and self-esteem, social anxiety and feeling sad.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Have you recently been through a significant change or something traumatic? We can’t always prepare ourselves for what life throws at us, so if theres something you’ve been struggling with or something you’d like the be different, it’s the perfect place to explore this. In my time in practice I have specialised in working with people in distress because of bereavement , trauma and anxiety. I work with adults and young people and have a wealth of experience in helping people through loss and significant life changes.

At times we feel stuck or alone, we are affected by loss , anxiety, depression or something else which stops us from living fully. Maybe we notice repeating patterns or habits that we don't know how to change. In these cases, working with an experienced professional like myself through therapeutic coaching and counselling can be a wonderful tool to help us heal and access the inner resources we need to let go of the past and create a new future for ourselves.

The last year has hit many of us hard. The most recent lockdown has particularly caused impact in many ways to many of my clients. Whether it has intensified previous issues, or caused new issues that have had a real effect on life in so many ways; anxiety, depression, low motivation, low self esteem, loneliness, grief , finances, confusion, abuse, burn-out, overwhelm, it is completely normal to be feeling that way. Not nice. But normal considering all you have going on and have been through. So many clients feel relief in just talking about what is happening for them. I offer a safe and non-judgemental space that is uniquely yours.
