Spirituality Counselling in Crook

I offer online therapy specialising in eating disorders, body image difficulties, and related issues. I can help if thoughts about food rule your life, you’re sick of feeling out of control, or you feel like no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to move forward/sustain change. I have personally recovered from an eating disorder and body dysmorphia so understand the importance of getting the right support to overcome your food issues, improve your body image, and live a rich, meaningful life. I can also help with other things that might be getting in the way such as anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, stress, and grief.

I have been a Counsellor / Psychotherapist / Hypnotherapist for over 25years I specialised in the field addiction for many years. Working within addiction offered a wide and varied opportunity to work and become familiar with many client issues. Clients relying upon substances, use as a coping mechanism, however substance use causes further mental health issues which further complicates their ability to cope. I now work solely within private practice based at home where clients can relax in a confidential informal setting. This allows them time explore their own needs in a time frame which meets their own specific needs.

Many of my clients decide to work with me because something has changed in their life. The devastation of a loss or bereavement. Relationship difficulties. A decision to be made at a crossroads.

Empowering men to navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity. Talking Spaces is an accessible counselling specialist service for men’s mental health, available in person or via Zoom. Generally men by nature are more action focused, so when it comes to managing difficult life events and emotions I use action and solution based therapeutic approaches and interventions when working with men’s mental health issues. Men need a service with the knowledge understand that social and cultural norms and ingrained beliefs about masculinity are one of the main barriers to seeking counselling in the first place.

Are you experiencing feelings and thoughts of dissatisfaction, disillusion and simply unhappiness with how you live life? Are you looking for ways to improve yourself by meditating, reading, watching talks and podcasts in an attempt to feel better? These ways can certainly guide and educate as well as inform you, however having no other person to bear witness to your growth and learning as well as to gently challenge and check your perception of reality, can limit your journey to reach your destination. Do you want to ‘change’ but don’t know ‘how’ or ‘what’ or ‘where’ to begin? Are you ready, willing, able and committed to start?
