Peggy Sweeney
Counsellor, MBACP
Emotional well being is something we can often take for granted, and more often than not we do not take time to attend to our emotional well being until we begin to struggle to maintain a balance. You may just need some space to reflect safely and without judgement. Perhaps you are overwhelmed by the pressures of life, stuck in a rut, repeating negative patterns, or trying to find a way out of anxiety or depression. Maybe you just don’t feel able to share your worries and concerns with those around you? Maybe you just don’t feel like ‘you’ and would like to explore why, or you have feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness.
I am a qualified, experienced Systemic Therapist, DBT therapist and Clinical Supervisor with a flexible approach, which includes solution focused, psychodynamic, narrative and behavioural ideas and I also have a specialism in Substance misuse / drug and alcohol addiction/dependency.
It can feel daunting to contact a therapist and consider that you may need support, but a simple telephone conversation will provide an opportunity to speak with me about any issues or concerns you wish to work on or resolve. I will explain the process of counselling and any goals you may have so we can work together to achieve them collaboratively
