If you're overwhelmed by painful self-criticism, stress, anxiety, loneliness, weariness meeting exhausting standards or low mood, I can help you find new insight and develop your skills in self-care and any others relevant to your needs and goals.
Everybody needs to be really heard and understood. Counselling with me, someone entirely outside your social network, means you can unburden freely, knowing I'll truly listen and be on your side. If you’re struggling with a painful loss, life transition or any other challenge and are feeling miserable, anxious, angry or confused, I can help you detangle ideas, learn to manage feelings and decide if, or what, you want to change. I can support you to recover your confidence, optimism, sense of self and direction. I'll help you to recognise and build your strengths and resources, including those you perhaps aren’t aware of right now.

There are many reasons for thinking about coming to counselling. You may need to talk to a counsellor because of how you feel, eg. anxious, stressed, overwhelmed or low. You may need support with a situation you are going through, have a relationship issue with a partner, family or friends, or have something that has happened in the past that still affects you. Whatever the reasons, counselling helps by giving you or a loved one the time and space to talk about it and work things out with a professional counsellor by your side, in a safe, confidential, warm and empathic environment.

Flexible appointments either face to face or online to young people (age 16 -18 with parental consent) and adults for a variety of issues; depression, stress & anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem, unresolved childhood issues, trauma, bereavement, grief and loss, faith issues.
Let's face it, life can be a struggle. As we do our best to navigate our way through there are times when we come to the end of our own resources. It's ok to ask for help and that might be very thing that gives you a different perspective on your situation. Your circumstances may not change but how you think about them can. You don't have to be in a crisis to benefit from counselling. You may feel that your life is not as you expected it to be. Counselling can give you the space to visualise your dreams and understand the parts that have been holding you back from living your best life.
