We all go through life experiencing good and bad moments, but sometimes the bad experiences can become too overwhelming to manage them on our own. Sometimes they may be a result of sudden changes which life throws at us unexpectedly leaving us vulnerable and lost in a new reality and sometimes it may be that we want to change something in our lives, but don’t really know how, which leaves us feeling stuck and helpless. If this sounds familiar to how you feel why not try counselling? Talking to someone you can trust who can listen without any judgement can be very helpful especially in these challenging times.
I am professionally trained to work with survivors of sexual abuse. I have wide-ranging experience helping clients with a variety of trauma related issues such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress, intrusive thoughts & suicidal ideation. Depending on a client's circumstances and needs I use Person-Centred approach combined with CBT, or trauma-informed therapy.
Experiencing sexual violence may leave you feeling anxious and confused. You may also feel overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts or unable to cope, questioning your sexuality or struggling in relationships. I am here for you to offer you my support in the comfort of a safe and confidential space so that you can re-discover yourself and enjoy life you deserve.
