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.

Do you struggle with issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, self esteem, self harm, or relationship issues? Are you feeling stuck in your life and find it difficult to take a step forward? Have you experienced trauma such as bullying, sexual abuse, domestic violence, or bereavement, and would like to see how this may be impacting on your life and relationships today? Maybe you tried talking therapies before but seem to be getting nowhere. Creative counselling has the potential to heal you on a much deeper level, leading to long lasting change.

I work with individuals who are experiencing a sense of being stuck in their life. They may be facing painful emotions, negative thought patterns, or behaviours that are causing difficulties in their lives. They may want to make sense of their difficulties by exploring them in the context of their whole life, thinking back to their early experiences, and how that has shaped the person they have become. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, relational difficulties, spiritual and religious trauma and more.

Taking the first steps to seek out a counsellor can be a fearful time and we as therapists will not be the correct match for every individual. My aim would be to offer you counselling and support in a safe place, where we can work together and give you the opportunity to speak freely without fear of what others might think? When someone looks for a counsellor it is often because there is something happening in life they want to explore, this maybe: low self-worth, lacking in confidence, generally feeling of unhappiness, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, or other mental health concerns. We can work together at your pace.
