Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counselling in Leicester

Therapy can be a great tool for restoring life balance and bringing about positive change. It can help you to understand more about yourself, your thoughts, and your emotions. Therapy could be beneficial if day to day life feels overwhelming or if you have difficult life experiences that you feel ready to explore. Perhaps you can be highly critical of yourself. You might regularly experience emotions that feel unmanageable and overpowering OR you may often find yourself entirely disconnected from how you’re feeling. You might want to learn more about yourself and your relationships with others.

Allowing you time & space to share your story whilst listening & showing you compassion & understanding is a crucial aspect of my work.

I'll provide an emotionally safe, confidential, & supportive environment for you. I have specialised training & experience in sexual abuse & trauma. Women's issues, including fertility, infertility, pregnancy, ante/postnatal care, birth, peri/menopause, are of special interest to me, if you can relate to this, I would like to support you.

Does life feel overwhelming, stressful and challenging? You may be finding yourself getting distracted worrying about your relationship, battling anxiety and depression, experiencing a bereavement , or struggling with your self-worth and confidence. You are here, taking that brave first step in looking for a counsellor, showing strength and determination to create positive change.

It can seem like the hardest thing to do to access counselling, but it can be life changing if you take that first step. You may not be entirely clear on what you want but just have a feeling that things don't feel right and you have decided that you want to understand what, why and how to refocus and live the life you feel is best for you. Or perhaps you are very aware of a struggle with difficulties, which may already be formally diagnosed by another professional, and you want to regain some control instead of feeling that these issues take over. I can support people in achieving their goals wherever they are in their journey.

Life can have many aspects and there can be parts that we feel we would could benefit from support with. Whether there is a specific issue, things feel a little 'stuck', or parts of you aren't feeling as they used to, we can unpick what feels appropriate to at any given moment. Through therapy we can support the growth of self-awareness, explore what may be feeling unsaid and find your own path through whatever is present for in the current moment. It may be relational issues, loss, trauma, self-identity or simply a sense of not feeling exactly where you wish to be. We can take time to examine where your journey leads next.

I understand how difficult it can be to decide to seek help. This is why I offer a no cost first session to see if you can feel comfortable with me. I am very experienced and approachable and I have helped many people get through difficult times. Anxiety can feel overwhelming.

I can help you break out of this cycle of doubt by working on restoring your coping skills.
