Education and Learning Disabilities Counselling in Coventry
My prior experience of working in education & adult social care supporting those facing a wide range of challenges from learning disabilities to end of life care has given me invaluable insight into the many struggles people may face, teaching me a great deal of respect and empathy.
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, loss or family struggles? Experiencing challenges in your life such as a change in role or pace of life, adjusting to loss, family difficulties, struggling to adapt to unexpected changes, or finding it hard to find your place and know where you fit in?
Perhaps you feel frustrated, anxious, unheard or find it difficult to pinpoint just how you feel or quite why you’re feeling this way. Maybe you’re worried about relationships, find it difficult to communicate your needs and want to make changes. It could be that you’ve been bottling up how you feel or have lost your confidence.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Exhausted?
Life just feels too much? Your brain is not your friend?
Life can be overwhelming and exceptionally hard at times. It is brave to ask for help when you are struggling and I would like to be your helping hand. I cannot promise to fix things for you, however I can listen and give you a warm,
therapeutic, non-judgemental space where you can hear yourself and that is surprisingly powerful.

The struggles of day to day life can take its toll on our emotional & physical well-being. When we are stressed, anxious, depressed or having difficulty in expressing ourselves to others, then just getting through a day can feel like an impossible task.

I am a child and adolescent counsellor and psychotherapist working with young people ages 5-30.

Together we can figure out how to make life feel better for you. This may be finding coping strategies, finding your voice, or processing difficult feelings and life experiences.

Life consists of a lot. Sometimes we may feel an overriding sense that something doesn’t feel right, or as is used to. There may be something specific that has occurred, or a general sense of not being where you want to be. It can be difficult to know where to begin when navigating questions about life; how to feel ‘yourself’ again and how to begin to reconcile the difficulties and thought processes that have led to the moment that you are in. With so much to consider it is easy to feel overwhelmed and in need of some support. I offer a warm, therapeutic space to help you explore what the next steps could look like in your world.

If you are reading these lines, it means you have hope and courage to change. So, well done for this, you have my absolute respect. I can support you therapeutically in many ways, but probably the best help I can give you is in relation to those areas of life where I have been through myself, as I experienced the struggles and the pain of being there. Being far from home, striving for acceptance and a sense of belonging. Studying and building a career in a university environment, with the stress and demands that sometimes can be felt as overwhelming. If this sounds well too familiar to you, I want you to know that I can support you.

Education and Learning Disabilities Counsellors
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
