Hello, I’m Julia, a person-centred counsellor and a qualified adoption support counsellor. I wonder what might have led you to here. Perhaps something has happened that has turned your world upside down. Maybe life feels overwhelming. Perhaps you feel lost, alone, misunderstood. We all have times when life seems a struggle, when we may feel anxious or sad or hopeless and counselling can offer a space where we can start to touch on those tender bruises inside which often leads to a greater understanding of ourselves and our situation.

Clients will be able to gain a greater understanding of past events in connection to current days worries, traumas, difficulties and emotional and mental health challenges. Through mapping out the concerns that are troubling you and reflecting upon these difficulties in relation to yourself, your experiences and close relationships, different opportunities for moving forward can become possible. Many of my clients have complex issues, which they have not been able to make sense of, for understandable reasons. This respectful and appreciative space can allow you time to process things, and to re-engage with hope again.

My name is Ceris and I’m a Person Centred Counsellor with over 10 years of experience working with people who have experienced mental health difficulties. Using a genuine friendly warm approach, I am able to offer counselling to people to enable them to develop a deeper awareness and understanding of themselves and their own situations.

Are you the person everyone turns to when they need support, yet feeling increasingly lost beneath this 'helper' role? Perhaps you're exhausted from constantly shapeshifting to meet others' expectations, and you're starting to question who you really are beyond people pleasing. While you're great at taking care of others, setting boundaries feels impossible, and saying 'no' brings waves of guilt. You're ready to explore what lies beneath these patterns, even though the idea of change feels scary. You want to find your authentic voice, create relationships where you can be truly yourself, and finally learn to trust your own instincts

Escape the diet trap and find lasting weight loss with me! You may have tried many different diets, but can never do them for long, or regain the weight you have lost. You are not on your own; Diets do not work in the long term. In fact, going on a strict ‘diet’ can lead to yo-yo dieting and weight gain. Some people find they start a diet as many as 5 or 6 times a year, and people do on average 126 fad diets across their lifetime. How much time, energy, money, and effort is that? I can help you get out of the dieting cycle for good, by helping you to find what works for you, and a method of sticking at it.

A large percentage of our time is spent at work and often you can spend more time with work colleagues and managers than with your family.
