You may be considering counselling or therapy for one or a number or reasons. At any time in our life we can be required to face unwanted challenges as life's inevitable ups and downs get the better of us. This can be due to an unexpected change in circumstances or it may be that life itself is demanding too much right now and you are struggling to cope. It may be that everything in your life is going according to plan and yet, still, there is a deeper sense that something is missing. Talking to friends and relatives provides only temporary relief and you are wondering if speaking to a therapist might be helpful.

At times we can feel overwhelmed by what is happening in our lives, and within our relationships, a situation has become overtime intolerable, or we may want to make some changes. Choosing to start counselling is a recognition that someone may be able to help, instead of struggling to deal with the issues alone. There may have been a recent crisis, however sometimes it can be difficult to identify the reasons why we feel unhappy, and at these times talking to a counsellor in confidence can be beneficial and enlightening.

As a therapist and former palliative-trained GP, I have experience with grief, chronic illness and pain, living with a cancer diagnosis, aging, dementia, life transitions, and supporting carers. Grief and loss aren’t limited to bereavement; they arise across many experiences, facing dying, the death of a loved one from any cause, including suicide or pregnancy loss, major life changes, aging and cognitive decline, or leaving your homeland and all that is familiar.
Anything that pulls us from an assumed future into an unfamiliar and unwelcome world may involve grief, looking for a footing on what feels like thin ice.
