Having had my own experience of being the client, I’m all to aware of how difficult it can be.

Our lives present us with many challenges and obstacles, especially within the current pandemic.

Counselling can also help you to accept the past and allow you to draw a line under past experiences and move forward in a healthier way.

Would you like a safe, confidential space to get things off your chest? Are you a parent/carer who would like a non-judgemental space to explore the pressures of balancing your work and home-life?

Do you feel overwhelmed and experiencing emotions that you are struggling to process?

I recognise that life is full of complexities, challenges and anxieties, and sometimes, despite all our best efforts, we can have difficulty in navigating through and responding to them. Sometimes, we just need someone alongside us who will work openly, honestly, respectfully, collaboratively and non-judgementally, in order to clarify what is happening; acknowledge, recognise and validate how it feels; and help us understand what it means for us, within the here and now, so we can choose what to do next, in living the life we need.

My aim for setting up a therapy practice was to provide help to those who are struggling with life's challenges. Do you feel as though something in your life isn't right? Maybe you've found yourself at a crossroads, unsure of where to go next. You might want support with reaching a decision, or facing your past. You might be looking to address relational/behavioural patterns, or want someone to help you cope through a crisis. It might be none of those things.It could be difficult to explain, and others don't seem to understand:- all you know is that you don't want to feel like it anymore, and you want things to be different.
