Sometimes we experience changes or traumas that leave us struggling with the pressures of life, relationships, work, or studies. This can affect our self-esteem, our sense of identity, and our ability to cope. This can become overwhelming and may lead us to unhelpful or harmful thoughts and behaviours. With help, we can overcome our difficulties and learn to manage our emotions more effectively. With compassion, empathy, respect, and a safe space, we feel heard, considered, and valued. By understanding our thoughts and behaviours we can feel empowered to make positive changes that can lead us to fuller and more enjoyable lives.
I can work with adults, young people, and children. I also specialise in couple work. I support issues such as anxiety, addictions, self-harming and Trauma, Depression, Parenting Concerns, Relationship Conflicts, gender and sexuality, and Self-Esteem…. I presently can support clients, over the phone or online.
I appreciate individuality and work with every client with a bespoke approach. I help them navigate through their issues or difficulties in a more effective and positive way. I respect and value whatever my clients bring and work with them in a manner and speed that suits them. We work together, to uncover and address what is causing difficulties or pain.
