In Person Counselling in Ripon
I work with individuals who are struggling with all kinds of issues, such as depression, anxiety and stress, questions of identity, personality problems, relationship issues, bereavement, addictions, abuse, anger management and many other difficulties. Sometimes problems can be difficult to articulate, like feeling lost, confused, or like something just isn’t right. Often we can face problems that feel so ingrained that we might feel there can’t be a solution. We might feel ‘it’s just who I am’. I am also an experienced couples therapist. Most fights between couples are rooted in the pain of loosing connection with each other.

Are you struggling with infertility? Does your dream of a baby get further away as each month passes? Are others asking awkward questions e.g. "who's fault is it"? Are you receiving conflicting advice about what will help? You might feel jealous of others who are pregnant, angry at the injustice, leading to guilt for having "bad" thoughts. You may also be grieving previous pregnancy loss. Having navigated my own infertility journey, I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions. I empathise with feeling out of control, others not understanding, and the overriding fear that you may never have the family you so desperately yearn for.

Most people feel overwhelmed and 'burned out' at some point in their life. Often we know what the problem is, it might be work related, personal or a combination of things. Maybe, it is less clear, a general awareness of feeling low and unhappy much of the time without really knowing why. It can be invaluable to have somewhere private and confidential to talk, to be able to think more clearly about what isn't working, the reasons why and how things could be different going forward.

Sometimes we can manage the mental, physical and emotional challenges of life, be it those that have come on suddenly or those that have left us struggling from the long-term exposure to or memories of. At others, we may experience feeling depressed, overwhelmed, anxious or stuck. These are normal responses, but they can leave us struggling to enjoy life, know which direction to take or even like there is something wrong with us. I can support you in gaining clarity and understanding around your thoughts, feelings and behaviour so that you can regain balance and direction for your future.

It may be that you are feeling uncertain, or stuck, and not entirely sure why. Exploration of these issues together with a therapist could help you develop an understanding and move forward in life.

Feeling sad, traumatised or disconnected from the world, or perhaps struggling with unhelpful behaviours leaving you feeling anxious and low. This often is a result of conflict with the relationship with ourselves or others, at work or at home. Relational conflict with partners, parents, friendships and colleagues 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.
