You may be seeking counselling for a specific issue such as: stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or feeling sad and these are all good reasons for seeking support. Alternatively your reason might be more difficult to put into words, not everyone has an identifiable reason for seeking support. Whatever your reason for counselling, I provide a confidential and non-judgmental space where your experiences, thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored.

Do you feel low, anxious, unconfident, stressed, stuck in your thoughts, or carrying experiences that are hard to put into words? I am an HCPC-registered trauma and attachment specialist. I use EMDR, Lifespan Integration (LI) and Art Psychotherapy to work with adults experiencing anxiety, low self esteem, grief, trauma reactions and emotional burnout. I can help you to find structure and steadiness when things feel chaotic or confusing. Therapy can help when you feel alone and your reactions feel overwhelming, out of step, intense or otherwise difficult to explain.

Do you find yourself wanting to belong and are not sure how to fit in? Do you feel stuck and are unsure of how to move forwards? Have you found your tribe or community yet? Do you feel like an outsider or disconnected from others? These might just scratch the surface of the questions that may come up, and they are all important in gaining awareness of what might be lying underneath. We all want to feel a sense of belonging and being part of something other than ourselves, which is engrained in the way we interact with the world around us.
