Sometimes strong emotions such as anger, sadness and anxiety can leave children feeling overwhelmed. This can lead them to become withdrawn, have difficulties at school and in friendships, or show their feelings in behaviours which are unhelpful. Psychotherapy can help your child to put their feelings into words and help them to express themselves in a different way. They will have access to a confidential space in which they can explore what is causing their distress and, by understanding themselves better, they can have better relationships with their family and friends and begin to build their confidence.

Are you struggling with overwhelming feelings that don’t quite make sense? Do you find yourself reacting more strongly than expected, or often feel physically tense? Perhaps past experiences keep surfacing unexpectedly, leaving you unsettled or on edge. Sometimes, the things we’ve been through can affect the way we have learnt to respond, which is our brain and body’s way of protecting ourselves from being hurt by such experiences again. This can lead us to think the worst, blame ourselves for things going wrong, or see things as more dangerous than they really are. We might also avoid situations, or keep busy to avoid thinking.

I am also an AREBT accredited Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapist. REBT is similar to CBT and particularly helpful for managing tricky emotions such as anger, shame, guilt, hurt, jealousy/envy and low self esteem.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming — for you, your child, or someone you love. Reaching out for support can feel daunting, particularly when life already feels difficult, but therapy can offer a space to feel understood, supported, and less alone. I offer a warm and thoughtful environment where we can think together about both the difficulties you are facing now and the deeper feelings, experiences, or patterns beneath them. Gradually developing understanding of ourselves and our relationships can help create meaningful emotional change, greater self-awareness, and lasting healing even after painful or longstanding difficulties.

Although we all face ups and downs throughout life, there are transitional phases which can present challenges to any of us. Be that, teenage years and into adulthood, or physical and emotional changes experienced by women each month, peri/post-natal and menopause. You may be struggling with an undiagnosed disorder or have been diagnosed, finding it difficult to come to terms with, and wondering what this means for you going forward. I also work with older adults who are transitioning into the latter part of their life and the challenges this can bring. These transitions can produce feelings of anxiety, depression and feeling stuck.
