Does life feel a bit unmanageable at the moment? Are you managing stress and anxiety by bingeing on food or alcohol, or relying on other substances or addictive behaviours? You are not alone. As a warm, practical, down-to-earth counsellor, I can support you to find healthier and safer ways of coping more easily with emotional pain, fears, challenges and transitions (such as abuse, childhood trauma, bereavement or other types of loss). Counselling with me is holistic and flexible, and can include mindfulness and creativity. Whether in the barn, out in nature or online, together we can find positive ways to improve your wellbeing.
Whatever your challenges and worries, I have a selection of approaches and skills I can integrate for you. Just as you are unique, so our work together will adapt to your needs. Nature therapy, creativity or just a safe place to be truly heard and understood . Together we can explore what has brought you to this point, so you feel ready to move forward.
I will always listen wholeheartedly and offer you a compassionate, safe space to have the courage to make changes or learn to accept what cannot be changed. I believe you can achieve your goals and dreams and I will be on your side and in your corner, supporting you through this. You are not alone. Together we will discover your best life.
