Is Anxiety part of your daily life? Anxiety is a fear based response to things that scare us. Worrying too much about different things and thinking about the worst case scenario, are common symptoms. Are you struggling with depression? Depression can be caused by many issues, such as a relationship breakdown, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job and chronic illness. Do you need healing from the past? Childhood trauma can negatively impact on our adult relationships and on our self esteem. Healing the past can dramatically change our lives and improve our relationships. It can empower us to make positive changes to our lives.

Feeling sad, disconnected from the world and struggling with unhelpful behaviours can mean we feel anxious and low. This often is a result of conflict with the relationships around us either at work or at homer Marriage or partnerships, parents, friendships, colleagues or illness where things are not going well can make us feel vulnerable, unsafe and unable to cope. Clients tend to be the best expert on their experience and often understand what's concerning them but are stuck and unable to find a way through. It takes courage to face into some of our issues but recognising we have them is the hardest part.

I am a Child, adolescent & adult psychotherapist. I work with all age groups. We are all expected to make normal life changes that can be difficult for example, a school transition, change of job, relationship changes etc. These can be quite challenging to manage. Then we have the uncertainties that are happening all around us right now with the pandemic & global change. Life is full of many uncertainties & quite often this can cause us to feel as though we are out of control leading to anxiety & stress. I can help to manage the anxiety so that you feel back in control again enabling a much happier & fulfilled life.

Sometimes life feels more difficult than usual and it can be hard to know where to turn for support. You may be overwhelmed, full of anxiety, or sad and unable to find any joy. Perhaps you're feeling lost, wondering how to get the spark back in your life. Counselling is a place where you can explore what's going on and how you feel without fear of being being judged. You don't have to pretend to be OK, you don't have to be 'fine'. You can be yourself and together we will find a way for you to live more happily. This is your time, your space to breathe, to begin to understand, accept and heal.

You have likely arrived here because yourself or someone you know is thinking about counselling. This can be a worrying and confusing time and you may just need information about what counselling is and how you can make use of it. I chose counselling as a career as there was a time where I felt like I had no voice. I was alone with my thoughts and feelings. Having therapy, allowed me to understand how it feels to be listened to, with no judgement or a fear of being misunderstood. It gave me time, space and the confidence to open up. I want to work with others and communicate how to work on their self-love and belief in themselves.

Psychotherapist, MA, HCPC-Art Therap.
Verified
Clients who can use art psychotherapy may have a wide range of difficulties, disabilities or diagnoses. These include, for example emotional, behavioural or mental health problems, PTSD, relationship issues, difficult experiences such as historical abuse or bereavement, life-limiting conditions and physical illness. It is not a recreational activity or an art lesson, although the sessions can be enjoyable. Clients do not need to have any previous experience or expertise in art so please don't be put off by the word 'art'. There is no pressure to use the art materials, sometimes just talking is enough.

I'm Andy and as a qualified person-centred counsellor, I strongly believe we all have the ability to navigate life's challenges by drawing on our own experience and capabilities. My role is to enable clients to explore whatever they choose in order to gain a deeper understanding of how it's impacting them, enabling them to create positive change. I do this through actively listening and offering useful reflections of themes I may notice, including any changes over time.

Welcome, I hope I can help. I work with adults and young people to gain a deeper understanding of their relationships, their own patterns, or of their difficulties. I work with people who want something to be different in their life, even if they're not sure what that is yet. Maybe you have an anxiety that takes hold and limits you in ways you're sick of. Maybe you feel a deep dissatisfaction or you're living with depression.
