Counselling in GL1
Welcome. Everyone has times in life when their mental health is particularly challenging and they face emotional or psychological difficulties. If that describes you here and now, it can be helpful to seek support to become more aware of the impact of past life experiences, how those events still influence how you are in the world today and explore your thoughts and feelings around options for making changes in the future. Your issues, needs and goals could arise from your working life, personal life or a combination of both. You could be looking for more immediate help or seeking to better understand deeper, long-standing issues.

I work with a wide range of issues, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, insomnia, OCD, addictions, PTSD, phobias and issues around self-esteem. I invite clients to shape and set goals (these are often added to!) and we work together to reach them. Sometimes problems have gone on for years; sometimes they are new and acute. In both cases they can be resolved: clients move towards a life that is fulfilling, meaningful and happy. In the past year I have helped children, young people and adults, whose ages range from 8 to 85 years. Every session, from the very first, focuses on gaining understanding and making progress.

Hello, I'm Carl, knowing that I can talk to someone about the things that I might be finding difficult is very important to me, especially if those feelings are ones I worry others wont understand. I aim to lessen that worry by providing an open and accepting space for you to be able to discuss the issues that your facing.

If you are experiencing self-criticism, low mood, anxiety, or struggling with the impact of trauma, then I can help you. Perhaps you want to feel more confident, have more self-compassion, or want to find a way to better manage anxiety or negative thoughts. Perhaps you never had a chance to talk about or process what has happened to you in your life. You might be doing well in life, successful in your career or with your family, but something is still feeling missing. If any of this sounds like you, then get in touch and we can discuss how I can help you.

At times of feeling low or anxious we often think, “what’s the point of trying it won’t make any difference”, leading to feelings of depression, sadness, fear and tearfulness. This then leads to changes in our behaviour such as withdrawing from others or staying in bed as we mull things over in our heads which makes us feel worse. Additionally, past trauma issues can often leave us feeling overwhelmed or with experiences of flashbacks and nightmares. Relationship issues left unresolved often leave us with a sense of helplessness and relationship breakdown leave us feel confused. Does this sound familiar to you?

We all respond differently to the pressures and changes- you may be swinging from one emotion to another, or feeling numb and tired, or just can't think straight... We are all doing our best to cope, but maybe your normal ways of coping aren't working well enough at the moment? Or maybe you have turned to ways of coping that are unhelpful- like drinking too much ? I can help you find your feet and see what is important for you right now. I know how important it is to find a breathing space to process what is happening when you are living with chaos and uncertainty

Hi, I'm Sarah. I offer short and long-term counselling for adults. You might already have a clear sense of what you need, or you may not know yet. Both are completely okay. Sessions with me provide a non-judgemental, empathetic space where you are supported to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and to discover your own way forward.
My professional and personal lived experience encompasses a range of issues, with particular focus on: anxiety; depression; grief; chronic illness; parenting/perinatal issues; relationship/family challenges; neurodivergence; school avoidance; low self esteem; and anger.

Contact me if you are looking for a safe person with whom you can explore matters that are important to you; this may include relationships, emotions, thoughts that concern you, or blocks you feel. The focus of our work would be you and your life. You may have goals you wish to achieve or feel hopeless and stuck. Whatever your concerns, our work may entail looking at the past or taking a more solution-focused approach. My approach assumes that the quality of our meeting is more important than any technique or theory I use and that different issues have meanings particular to the individual. Open communication is the key.

As a child psychologist and parent, I understand how hard it can be to find the right support for your child or teen when they are struggling and need it most. Whether you have concerns about your child or teen's well being or development and they require individual support or you just want to know you are going in the right direction as a parent, I'm here to help. I will first complete an initial assessment with you and your child or teen to develop and understanding of the difficulties they face, which will then help guide treatment. We will then decide on the collaborative goals to work towards in therapy.

You may appear capable and in control on the outside, yet internally feel anxious, uncertain, or disconnected from your own voice. Many of the people I work with overthink interactions, struggle with boundaries, or find themselves repeating painful relational patterns without fully understanding why.
Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, we explore the deeper emotional and relational patterns that keep these difficulties in place. These patterns often developed as intelligent ways of adapting and belonging, even if they now feel limiting.

Are intrusive thoughts, anxiety or past experiences stopping you from living the life you want?
I'm an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (BABCP) and Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) with over 15 years' experience supporting adults with anxiety disorders, OCD and trauma-related difficulties.
OCD can be particularly isolating. Many people worry that their intrusive thoughts say something about who they are, or find themselves caught in exhausting cycles of checking, reassurance seeking, mental rituals or avoidance. I have significant experience helping adults break free from these patterns using CBT and ERP.

I work with adults who may appear to be coping well on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out or stuck internally. You may be struggling with overthinking, panic, self-criticism, low confidence, difficult life experiences or a major transition. Therapy offers a space to understand what is keeping these difficulties going and to develop practical, lasting ways of moving forward.
