You may be somebody with mild to moderate mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and/or stress. These may be long-standing or more recent, for example reactions to challenging circumstances in the present or more recent past. You will be motivated and willing to engage actively in your own recovery and self-awareness. While I do not have an ideal client - I have worked with a range of clients in a number of settings including the NHS, and Employee Assistance Providers - I do find it very rewarding and interesting to work with the body and creative approaches, and particularly welcome clients open to working in this way.

It’s when you sense, or realise, that things can’t remain the same and yet you feel frozen, unable to act, and you don’t know what to do. A personal crisis might leave you feeling powerless and anxious. Then you find that the ways in which you generally deal with problems aren’t working: the people you’d usually turn to for support aren’t enough, they might be too involved with the issues you’re facing. You might also feel unwell. It’s not uncommon to feel anxious, depressed or emotionally fragile. This is when counselling can help. I offer Face to Face, Walk and Talk, Online and Telephone Counselling.

Do you feel disconnected in your relationships? Are you running on empty, overwhelmed by grief, anxiety or responsibilities, that you barely remember what it feels like to be yourself, rested or alive? Feeling constantly on edge is a natural coping response which often interferes with daily life and relationships. With compassionate support this can change. I am passionate about supporting adults facing repeated relationship problems, unmet emotional needs and loneliness. Together we explore and honour emotions, such as anger, sadness, worry and fear rather than push them away. Clients often leave feeling lighter and more confident.
