Are you just about holding everything together, then one more thing at home or work feels like it’s just too much? You may be feeling overwhelmed, can’t cope, crying all the time, managing work by putting on a brave face but you arrive home, everything closes in around you, leaving you feeling unable to manage. If this looks like you and you feel you’ve lost your spark, it may be because you’ve experienced lots of difficulties building up over time, or maybe there has been a major life event such as a serious health diagnosis for you or someone close, a breakdown in a relationship, or the death of someone significant
If this sounds like you, I can help you work out how your life has become like this, which in turn can help you start to feel like the weight of it is lifting from you. People often say they feel lighter, feel calmer and they notice there are more moments of fun and laughter finding their way back into their life.
Therapy can help you rediscover how to enjoy time with your family and friends when it has felt like you have forgotten how to. If after reading my profile you feel we could work together either call or email me. I offer an introductory 15 minutes free, via phone, for both of us get a sense of how we might work together.
