I believe that talking to a trained, professional counsellor in a safe, confidential place can help everyone to understand why they are struggling to cope with modern life challenges. Working with clients, I respect the client’s diagnosis, however instead of keeping my client in that defined “box of diagnosis” and “deal with” it, I tend to try to discover the invisible links between the different parts (past and present) of the client’s life. For me the meaning of successful counselling is not measured by a specific achievement. It is a slow, constantly changing progress of how my clients think and feel about themselves and others.

It's Time For You! Are you always there for everyone else, and now need someone to be there for you? Then you have come to the right place! We all need help sometimes, and taking the first step of asking for help is often the hardest. I know, because I’ve been there too. You need time for yourself. How can you be there for others if you are feeling burnt-out? Have you suffered a loss or bereavement? Are you feeling low and anxious? Whatever difficulties you are facing, my job is not to diagnose you, give you advice, or tell you how to fix things. My job is to be by your side as we explore ways to help you find your own answers.

I wonder how life is for you right now, maybe something difficult has happened, perhaps you are struggling with feelings that make life a challenge? Whatever's going on for you, it can be hard to find the right words to explain how you're feeling. I offer creative expression in therapy (art, poetry, sound, drama, objects) alongside talking counselling. I help with issues such as anxiety, coping with depression, overcoming grief, trauma, low self esteem, people pleasing ... Together we consider the impact of early life experiences and how internal defences maybe show up now. I work at a safe pace using a trauma informed approach.

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.
