Counselling in Saltney

Feeling overwhelmed, out of control, repeating or destructive patterns in behaviour and thinking, relationships issues, feeling low, anxious or suffering from grief. I work with a range of mental health difficulties and emotional issues. These can be difficult and distressing times and therapy can, quite literally, be a life-saver. It can also be an exciting and challenging space for personal development, growth and exploration. Therapy will give you an opportunity to be heard without judgment and time to explore anything in a safe space.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you suffering with anxiety or low self-worth?Have you recently been through a significant change or something traumatic? We can’t always prepare ourselves for what life throws at us, so if theres something you’ve been struggling with or something you’d like the be different, it’s the perfect place to explore this. In my time in practice I have specialised in working with people in distress because of bereavement, trauma and anxiety. I work with adults and young people and have a wealth of experience in helping people through loss and significant life changes.

I believe people have the potential to self-heal and grow, to develop and change when the right support and environment is offered to them. This enables people to trust their feelings and be less reliant on the judgement of others.

I was a client myself twice in my life and I know first-hand how difficult it can be to take that step. However, I also know that therapy can be life-changing because growth can only happen when we push our boundaries and step outside our comfort zone. My role is to be with you as you set sail on this journey. Feelings like sadness, guilt, shame, anger, and anxiety are all too familiar to me and many others because this is where our humanity lies. My role is to help you name those feelings and find ways to navigate them and cope with them. I offer counselling in English, French or Arabic.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed or anxious? Do you feel haunted by your past? Does it feel like you’re not in the driving seat of your own life, repeating the same patterns of behaviour that have a negative impact on you or others around you? Do you want things to change? It’s very easy in today’s world to become lost, not able to navigate our way through and find meaning, which can lead to feeling like we have no compass guiding us. We might lean on people, places or behaviours that help us to cope in the moment but take away our power. I work with people who want to find their way again.
