In my practice I have been specialising in anxiety and dread. These symptoms can manifest in many ways and, we will experience them in our unique way. Perhaps you are dealing with relational difficulties, sense of inadequacy, or feeling not good enough. Working from home and managing your personal life alongside might be challenging and at times almost unbearable. Internal and external conflicts, personal crisis can also be an opportunity for growth and change if addressed in an empathic way by a non-judgemental other. I will help you transform your symptoms into a meaningful experience and help you alter the self-narrative.

Welcome - You may need help with an emotional difficulty or a challenging experience or you just might not feeI quite 'right'. I aim to offer a safe, client-led, committed and sensitive space where you are free to explore whatever it is in your life that is calling for your attention and free to choose your course to connect you to a sense of purpose and meaning. I hold the overarching concept that life's challenges alongside our innate longing to live more abundantly offer opportunities for transformation. This can be difficult work but the benefits can be great.

Clients are looking to unpick areas of their lives that have proved too difficult for them to tackle alone. It may be more tangible life events: a bereavement, the end of a relationship, job loss etc. or that the client has found themselves 'stuck' in a place they feel unable to work through with any clarity of thought.

I aim to tailor the therapy to meet clients very specific needs with an empathetic and congruent approach. Confidentiality and trust are essential to the counselling process. Clients may share difficult feelings and thoughts with me safe in the knowledge that their personal identity and information will be retained in confidence. I am here for you, to build trust and confidence and to help you unlock your true potential. Therapy might seem daunting at first, but my aim is to bring my clients into contact with what matters in life, to ground them and assist them to encounter themselves and others better.

Life is not easy, and if you are reading this you have probably figured out that you want to talk. Talking and being truly heard will increase your self-awareness and help you to understand what is going on for you. Experiencing trauma can leave you struggling with upsetting emotions, memories, and anxiety that will not go away. It can also leave you feeling numb, disconnected, and unable to trust other people as yourself. So being able to find a way through the trauma can be the reward you achieve when allow yourself to explore and work with me to find true you.
CJK Counselling
Psychotherapist, DCounsPsych
My ideal client is an adult unsure of where they are in life. They have reached a point where they do not know what lies ahead. They may be unhappy in their current relationship/job/marriage and are uncertain of which way to turn. They want to feel alive again and look forward to each and every day rather than finding life a tedious merry go round of work and chores. In short they want to get back to what they love. Life is uncertain, but there are areas of your life that you CAN control even if the world appears to be chaotic.

If you feel overwhelmed by what life is throwing at you - especially at the moment, and are finding it difficult to cope, perhaps your inner critic is giving you negative thoughts or the voice on your shoulder is telling you that you are not good enough it may help to talk to someone who is impartial and unbiased. I am here to listen and offer you a confidential, caring and empathic space to gain awareness of your issues.
