Whether you're dealing with low self-esteem, constant anxiety, unwanted stress or you're simply tired of second-guessing yourself - this can be the start of a more empowered, balanced version of you.
Do you feel like you're constantly putting others first, but still not feeling good enough? You might be the one everyone leans on - but inside, you feel exhausted, anxious, and unsure of who you really are. Maybe you're struggling to say no, worrying about what others think about you, or feeling overwhelmed trying to keep everyone else happy. And deep down, there’s a part of you wondering: Who is going to be there for me? You deserve to reconnect with yourself, build the skills to self-soothe and feel more confident in your decisions and content in your relationships.

If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, stress, low self esteem, low confidence, panic attacks, relationship problems, feeling isolated and alone, and in trying to deal with these issues have found yourself addicted to a substance or behaviour, then please contact me and we can start on finding the solution that you need.
Hi my name is Pauline and I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist (full member of BSCH) and Counsellor (registered member of BACP) specialising in Addictions and the issues related to the addiction and the probable cause. When we are at the stage where we are googling Counsellors then this is usually because we are hoping to get the right person we will gain rapport with. The right Counsellor will allow us to open up completely about issues that we have been bottling up inside us for whatever reason. We want to be able to talk freely and easily without being judged by that comment or look that straight away makes us close up and squash those unwanted feelings and thoughts back down into their box again because, maybe, we feel ashamed and guilty. We want the issue to be dealt with in a non judgemental manner. We want that someone who will enable us to feel that we are OK. That it's not all our fault and will help us find a solution.
