Domestic Abuse Counselling in Harpenden
Not all grief begins with bereavement.
You may be coping with the death of someone you love, a cancer diagnosis, chronic illness, chronic pain or CFS, a relationship breakdown, parenting challenges, redundancy, retirement, an empty nest, or a future that no longer looks the way you expected.
Perhaps you've always been the person others rely on, yet now feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, disconnected or alone. Together, we'll explore the patterns shaping your relationships, emotions and sense of self, using IFS and attachment-informed therapy to help you move forward with greater understanding, resilience, self-compassion and hope.

Taking the step to ask for help is often the hardest thing we do. I think as adults we feel as if we "should be able to cope" or "others have it harder" and that in some way needing help or someone to talk to in difficult times is showing a weakness. We invest time and money in keeping our bodies in shape and while that is the vehicle that gets us through our life we need to care for our other parts too. Our emotions and our relationships constantly need recognition and yet we only seek help when we reach a crisis point. So whether you are at a crisis point or struggling with anxiety, depression or a bereavement I am here to help.

Therapy is a space where you can come to explore the ways in which you show up in the world, figure out what is working and not working for you and find ways to move forward in a healthier, happier and more fulfilling way.

There are times in our lives when our ability to cope alone is significantly diminished. You may be there right now. Perhaps negative experiences from the past, or significant life changing experiences have altered the way you think, feel, or behave. You want to move forward, but just can't seem to break the cycle of shame, guilt and fear? You may be unsure who you can trust? My personal experience and faith in God's transforming power fuels my passion to come alongside the hurting, wounded, confused, lonely and voiceless as I witness broken lives being restored.

Thank you for visiting. Seeking support can be daunting, especially when feeling vulnerable and with so many therapists to choose from. The clients I see, seek therapy for a variety of reasons, including experiencing anxiety, low mood, intrusive thoughts, obsessions, fluctuating emotions, substance or relationship issues and PTSD. I believe these difficulties often arise from things that have happened to us, causing us emotional pain, trauma or loss. I collaborate with clients to understand and unpick these patterns, empowering them to forge a new path aligned with their goals, restoring a sense of safety, control, and wellness.
