Counselling in Hawes

Why counselling? Counselling can help with all sorts of different issues. It can help with positive events such as choosing a direction in life or reaching your full potential. There may be things from your past that you would like to tackle or there may be things in the present that you want to try and change. Perhaps you are experiencing significant events in your life such as getting married and starting a family, leaving home for the first time or coming to terms with the death of a loved one. ​ ​ ​Maybe you are feeling anxious or stressed, there are many, many reasons why we might need a bit of support .

One of the things I love about EMDR is that it puts you, the client, in control, (something we may not have had very much of when our traumas were taking place). EMDR does not delete memories but simply changes the way painful memories are stored, so that when we think about them, they no longer trigger negative emotions or sensations. As my mother once said, you can go around it, under it or over it but at some point, you must go through it. I wish you strength and healing on your journey.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, and finding it difficult to control your emotions? sometimes we need support to explore our thoughts and feelings to enable us to understand the root cause of our problems and then carefully look at strategies that can change our situation and improve our ability to cope more effectively.

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.

I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor, Psychological Therapist and High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Supervisor.

Does a relationship in your life cause you pain? Are you feeling stuck and unsure what to do? It could be that things are difficult with your partner or ex, parent or caregiver, colleague or friend. Maybe it's the relationship you have with yourself that gets you down.

If this is your experience, we can work through these feelings together. I strongly believe everyone has a voice that deserves to be heard and I've seen how life changing having a safe space to talk things through without judgment can be.
