Is life an uphill battle, but not sure why? Are you anxious, depressed or worried about the future? I understand how hard it is to take that step and ask for help. I can help you identify and understand what’s going on for you. The anxiety eases, the brain fog lifts, you feel calmer and know yourself better.
I work with children, young people and adults with a wide range of life transitions and concerns including:
• Anxiety
• Depression
• ADHD
•. Low self-esteem/self-confidence
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Trauma/past painful experiences
• Relationship issues
• Sleep problems
• Grief and Loss
Counselling is not only for times of crisis. I can help you learn more about yourself, improve relationships and build a happier future. After 25 years working in education, my wealth of experience ensures I am well placed to help struggling Teachers, teens and young people. I hold an advanced DBS.
My approach is empathic, client-centred, and tailored to meet the individual needs of each person. Whether you're seeking help for a specific challenge or general emotional support, I am here to guide and support your emotional well-being. I can walk along side you on your journey. E-mail, call or text today and let's book you in.
