Weight Loss Counselling in Stroud
Now more than ever we are living in a world where contact with others has become increasingly difficult, not just physically but also emotionally. It would be understandable for many people to be feeling isolated and cut of from the rest of humanity at this time, for some this may also trigger painful, old wounds of unmet needs and maybe even a sense of hopelessness. You may crave feeling really connected to someone who is fully present with you and is invested in really understanding you and your situation, someone who can help you to create a relationship that will help to heal relationships that have failed in the past.

You might be in crisis: a relationship breakdown, sudden news of the death of a loved one or an illness, a work loss, or at an emotional or spiritual crossroads. Or you may generally have the feeling that your life isn't all you'd like it to be - you feel stuck, aren't living up to your potential or feeling as fulfilled or happy as you would like. Either way, you can be supported to navigate successfully through the very choppy waters of crisis - or the fog of confusion or uncertainty. You don't have to go it alone! You may well emerge from the other side a stronger and happier person than you ever thought possible.

In counselling you will be thinking with another person about how you manage life’s struggles, how you relate to friends and family and how your present situation may be related to your past experiences. Talking and thinking with another can bring about a new perspective to old problems or worries and help you find new ways of approaching things. in. In my experience even small changes can have a very positive impact. Speaking to someone might feel a bit daunting to begin with but I find people soon settle in.

At times we all feel like we’ve lost hope. The hope that things can improve, the hope our distress will reduce and the hope that we’ll feel less alone. But that hope is never gone for good, and we just need someone to help us find it again. Whether you are struggling with stress, relationship difficulties, past trauma, anxiety, depression or things that you just can’t make sense of, I can help. At times I will guide you, but most importantly I endeavour to support and empower you to take control of your own mental health and instil a renewed sense of hope and emotional wellbeing in a safe and compassionate space.

I recognise that life is a journey that can sometimes be a struggle. Life in this modern world is often chaotic, stressful and moves at such a fast pace, yet our reptilian brains are still designed to deal with cave man threats. This can lead to our bodies being flooded with fight, flight or freeze responses. In time these can build and lead to conditions such as anxiety, depression and low level trauma if not dealt with correctly. Having the support to help you through is not always easy to find.

In this rapidly changing world, we are faced with many challenges. We can become overwhelmed with our capacity to bounce back from setbacks and disappointments, leading to greater worry, stress, and anxiety. You may feel you are stuck, confused, or even isolated; not surprisingly, these feelings can also impact our sense of purpose and well-being, especially in these confusing times. Counselling can provide a safe, secure, and confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, offering support and guidance in the best way to move.

Psychology has always been important to me and I have a drive to support people with whatever causes them psychological pain. For me there is no ‘small issue’ – if it causes an individual difficulty and they want to make changes to work through it, then that's hugely admirable. Change is hard, but wanting to develop is such a courageous thing to do. I see my job as holding the hope for people when they can’t hold it for themselves. With over 10 years of experience I have supported people with mental health conditions, difficult life events, weight management, issues at work and more. Please see my website for more information.
