Are you feeling overwhelmed and struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, and finding it difficult to control your emotions? sometimes we need support to explore our thoughts and feelings to enable us to understand the root cause of our problems and then carefully look at strategies that can change our situation and improve our ability to cope more effectively.

Most people, at some point in their lives, experience emotional difficulties. This may be due to traumatic events, overload of stress, or issues stemming back to childhood. Talking through such difficulties can help to validate and make sense of your feelings, work out how to heal, and move on with positivity and meaning in your life.

Perhaps you have been feeling overwhelmed, confused or anxious? Maybe you find it difficult to control your emotions, find it hard to stop thinking in a certain way or feel low? I can help you to explore these issues and in doing so we can agree a way forward to help you feel better, more in control and confident about moving on in your life. I can help you to make sense of why you feel the way you do and understand what is happening in your life right now. This understanding can provide the grounding for taking those first steps in making changes, both in therapy and in your own life, with the ongoing support of a therapist.

I am here to support you through any life issues you are having at the moment. Life can be hard at times, such as: bereavement, loss, relationship issues, poor view of self, depression, anxiety, illness and loneliness. I offer a safe space that is confidential and I will listen to your story with compassion and empathy. I have many years of counselling experience, as a holistic counsellor, coach, academic counselling tutor and clinical supervisor. Over the years I have supported people who have a disability, in particular people who are sight impaired; who have Multiple Sclerosis and Leukemia.

Do you feel ripped apart and shaken to your core? You don't want to be a burden to friends and can't talk to family, it is all so overwhelming. The deepest pit of despair and hurt, mixed emotions, anguish, anger, confusion, barely coping with intense non-stop life changes. Loss of family, partner or treasured friends, sudden or chronic terminal illness, loss of the person you used to be, ageing, guilty lifestyle, fear of a new job and moving, or the prickling heartache from loss of your pet. You don’t even have the strength to take the next step, to pull yourself through while trying to reach your old self. You need a safe space.

Tired of finding yourself frustrated, lonely, unfulfilled and lost in your intimate life and relationships? Yes, spending life stuck and unhappy, feeling like a lab rat – trying to figure out a maze without a map can be soul destroying. I've been talking, teaching and helping people with their relationships and sexuality since 2007, and no story can faze me. You can feel safe - I'll get you. I will understand and not judge one bit. This is your journey. Are you struggling with intimacy and sexuality? Are you curious about kinky sex or swinging? Or maybe you want to open your relationship? Or to begin with - actually find a partner?
