Are you feeling low, depressed, or anxious? Are you troubled by intrusive thoughts, memories, and panic? Have you experienced something traumatic? Perhaps relationships feel hard, you feel alone, disconnected, or lonely.
What if you could change this and live the life you want and deserve? Through counselling I can help you explore the things that are affecting you and support you to improve how you feel, and your day-to-day life.

 

How I can help

I will be alongside you as you explore your feelings and what’s happening for you. If you have goals you want to achieve, we can define those together and look at ways to work towards them. By connecting to your emotions and bringing insight to you, you can begin to find ways to calm your anxiety or lift your mood, while gaining an understanding of yourself and your experiences.

I offer a range of techniques and you are in control of what you want to use. A few examples are: identifying emotions and needs and how to meet those, body and breath work, which are effective in reducing anxiety and trauma responses. Working creatively, using pictures, drawings and cards, unlocking stuck thoughts and showing patterns you may not have realised were present.

A bit about me
I have a calm and gentle approach; whilst offering challenge if and when needed. I’m passionate about the positive effects counselling has and how the right support can enable you to make changes and become more fulfilled.

I work with adults and young people aged 14+, in person, online via Zoom and via telephone.

Couples Counselling

If you are experiencing challenges in your relationship, couples counselling can be a great way to work on understanding each other, to move away from negative patterns or to reconnect after an affair. Life’s challenges can also cause disharmony such as having children, experiencing loss or living with the impacts of trauma.

 
Fairness and equality are values I connect with and my work with you as a couple will hold these in mind. I will be impartial and ensure you are both heard, by me and each other. Helping you understand each other’s needs will be a focus and at times we may need to look at how your past experiences affect your current relational needs.

 
At the start of our work together we will look at what you would like to gain from couples counselling and alongside any specific goals you may have, I can help you improve your communication with each other and move towards a more fulfilling and connected relationship.
