Counselling in Wimborne

Life can present us with unwelcome events at any age. Professional counselling can't change these events but can provide tools and techniques to help minimise their impact. In my practise, counselling is primarily about the relationship between you and me. It is a talking therapy where we can explore what is troubling you in a safe, non-judgemental setting. Every person is an individual and therefore counselling can be different for everyone. I am more relationship driven rather than theory driven.

COUNSELLING CAN HELP YOU TELL YOUR STORY… Our lives shape our stories… Sometimes these stories cause us to feel anxious, depressed, stressed, sad or confused. At times our life stories can make us feel stuck, frightened or even lead to trauma. Sometimes we are unsure why we experience difficulties in our relationships whether personal or professional. Counselling can help you make sense of why you think, feel and act as you do. It can bring insight into patterns of relating and ways of being. It can empower you to set goals and make changes to move your life forward. Telling your story can promote growth and healing.

It may be that you are experiencing deep feelings of sadness, hopelessness with no motivation for the future. You may be increasingly stressed and anxious, feeling that you are isolated and separate from all that is happening around you. You may be struggling with irritability and anger, finding yourself being overly defensive or being hurtful towards others. I can help with all of these experiences, helping you to identify the causes and support you in overcoming them. Counselling can make a real difference to your life.

Life can become extremely tough at times and that can lead to the erosion of our sense of wellbeing. We may find ourselves feeling constantly fatigued; struggling to enjoy the things we used to, withdrawing from activities, feeling bleak about life, feeling anxious or having physical complaints such as being more frequently unwell and struggling with digestive issues or muscular aches and pains. These issues could suggest that stress is having an impact on your psychological wellbeing. It can often prove challenging to work out how you got from A to B and how to navigate a way back to A.

I offer a safe, confidential and non judgemental space to explore what is happening for you. Within our sessions we will gain understanding, acceptance and where possible change using exploration and empathetic understanding. If if you need a tranquil space to safely explore your life please feel free to contact me.

When someone you love dies, particularly at the moment, it can be life changing. Every day can suddenly feel like a struggle. Life can feel pointless and overwhelming. Friends and family want to help but they are often struggling with their own grief or do not know what to say or do for the best. I can provide a safe, confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and memories around your loved one so that you can come to terms with your bereavement whilst also gaining a better understanding of yourself, your emotions and patterns of behaviour, allowing you to make better choices and decisions going forward.

Searching for a therapist can feel daunting, I can remember when I had to do it for myself. I have worked with a diverse range of clients, all of whom have many different reasons for seeking therapy. Whatever your reason is for finding yourself here, I can offer you a space to feel not only listened to, but truly heard without judgement.
