Available Counselling in Ilkeston

Sometimes it’s hard to know where to turn, life can feel very overwhelming and exhausting. It can be lots of wee things or a big life change and sometimes we just can’t put our finger on it. What we do know is that we’ve had enough, we want to enjoy life and relationships and bring more lightness and laughter into the everyday. Maybe work is getting us down or family and relationships. How good would it be to feel more at ease? In therapy we can explore together to find a way through the fog.

With the many unexpected twists and turns that life can take, it is very easy to feel overwhelmed and lost amongst it all. It can feel that in trying to work through life's many challenges we have forgotten our sense of who we are and lost our confidence in the direction our life is taking. We might seem to be a doing a good job of keeping everything going on the surface, but deep down there is a sense of being out at sea with no solid ground to stand on. This can feel a very isolating and bewlidering experience.

Many seek counselling when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the future. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship difficulties, unsure of how to move forward. Perhaps a separation or divorce has left you feeling lost, or unresolved conflicts affect your well-being. You might need a space to talk openly, without fear of judgment, and gain clarity on your thoughts and emotions. Whatever your challenges, you don’t have to navigate them alone.

I work with individuals who are experiencing a sense of being stuck in their life.
