Struggling to cope with life? Living throws up difficulties for all of us and we can feel very alone when confronted with these. Stress, anxiety, grief or depression can throw us off track. If you are feeling unhappy, anxious or lost, I can help you work through your concerns and emotions to a place where you can feel peace and pleasure again. As an accredited counsellor with training in providing online and face-to-face therapy, I have lots of experience of helping people identify the blocks that are holding them back so that they can move forward to achieve their potential and make stronger, more satisfying relationships.

I think sometimes we just reach that place in life when we say 'enough is enough'. For some it can mean it is time to stop and face something, and to someone else it can mean it is maybe time to 'let it go'. There's no end to the potential meanings for reaching 'that point'. i think we've all been there at some stage or another. Does this sound familiar ? That's okay, i totally understand where you're coming from. What is important is acknowledging that you have had the energy and motivation to seek someone to support you through this - it takes courage and strength to take this step. Well done!

It's all about relationships - primarily the relationship you have with yourself and how this impacts the relationships with others and the world. Sometimes these relationships become ruptured, and if not repaired, psychological disturbances may result. I will help you the best way to holistically explore these ruptures so that wellbeing is restored. I'm also aware that the need for therapy can arise from a desire to promote personal development so you achieve a greater understanding of yourself.

I have come to this profession later, choosing to retrain, after life changing experiences in my life journey. I understand the struggles a complex childhood brings into adulthood. I understand how relationships seem to fall apart, sometimes the ending creeping up unexpectedly. I have experienced the sudden lost of someone, the confusion, rejection the loneliness this can bring. There are times when you logically look at your life, you wonder why are you not happy, is there something wrong? The times that no matter what you say, think feel or try, either are never enough, wrong, or just leave you feeling helpless. I am here for you!
