Counsellor, BACP

We can all find life hard at times. It can throw up difficulties that feel overwhelming and out of our control. I support adults and teenagers through a range of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship issues and Asperger Syndrome. When we experience distress, sadness, loneliness, anxiety or depressed mood, it can feel difficult to bear and leave us feeling powerless. Working alongside a therapist means you need not face these difficulties alone.

Has a recent or past negative experience left you feeling lost or stuck? Maybe you’ve tried to just get on with life but inside you still feel broken, replaying events in your mind and asking yourself why or how this happened. Perhaps you know what happened to you was traumatic or maybe you’ve told yourself it “wasn’t that bad”. Some days you seem to feel all the emotions all at once, and other days you feel nothing at all. Other people simply don’t understand, leaving you feeling alone and like you don’t matter. Most things in your life, your relationships, work or education might be affected and you long to break free from it all.

Are you looking to separate or divorce after an infidelity or a stressful few years? Maybe you've grown apart or just not sure whether you want to stay together? Perhaps your sex life is suffering and you want to improve it. Do you feel frustrated because you end up having the same kind of argument over and over and you want to understand why you feel stuck?

At times life can be challenging and can sometimes feel overwhelming. Finding yourself looking at counsellors it seems you have already made the decision that things need to change. I understand how difficult this first step can be and the courage needed to take the plunge to make that call and ask for help. I can offer you a warm and caring space where you will be supported whilst you start to look at the issues that are troubling you and together we can unravel the emotions and confusion that is holding you back from living a happy and fulfilled life.

Few of us live through life without suffering and pain - small daily traumas, griefs from relationships/loss, news, social media, work - which left unattended or gone unnoticed can cause us to turn away from ourselves, others, mother earth . In doing so, while we are protecting ourselves in the moment, we can wind up feeling isolated, alone, unsafe & unsure of what lies ahead -what is the next step for us to take. Global concerns, environmental crisis, & daily life can move us away from ourselves. Counselling offers ways to learn to develop our true belonging, awareness, restoring our voice to live in our true authentic selves.

By working together we can learn about the origins of your self-interpretations, patterns of thinking and behaving; relationships you are drawn to and the core beliefs which lie behind struggles you may be experiencing today. However, therapy is not just for exploring what lies behind difficulties, it also includes helping you shed light on your potential. Together we can explore areas where you may be missing seeing your positive qualities. When self esteem is affected there can often be a distorted lens in how individuals have started seeing themselves. These areas will also be important to explore.

Together, in a secure, impartial, and non-judgmental space, we can use various approaches tailored to your situation to help guide you towards a positive and successful outcome.
