Do you feel there must be more to life than how it is for you currently?
Maybe you feel stuck, helpless or overwhelmed by difficult feelings?
Do you long for a happier, calmer, less fearful or more fulfilling life?
Are you finding it hard or impossible to see a way forward?
Take the first step on the path towards change…
I passionately believe that a committed and genuine therapeutic relationship enables us to work together to find a way forward that is right for you.
Central to this is my respect for the priorities, values, beliefs and experiences that make each person uniquely human.
I offer a caring refuge where you can just be yourself, however that is, and a sense of hope that things can get better.
I’ll support you in reaching a better understanding of your particular difficulties, help you gain more control over your life and provide you with everyday coping strategies.
This paves the way for exploring other ways of thinking and being, and alternative perspectives on life and relationships.
My flexible service ranges from brief, time-limited counselling to long-term, in-depth therapy. You might want to talk about all aspects of your life or particular difficulties:
• relationship issues such as trauma, abuse, violence or coercive control
• childhood experiences of trauma, abuse or violence
• family problems or feeling overwhelmed by caring for someone
• life events like becoming a step-parent, divorce or changing jobs
• bereavement, anticipated grief or other forms of loss
• life transitions such as leaving home, starting university or retirement
• depression, anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, compulsions
• exam or work-related stress
• feelings such as shame, guilt, envy, anger or lack of confidence
• feelings about yourself, your personality, identity or sexuality
• physical disability or illness
• ASD, ADHD or other specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia
• self-harm, risky/addictive behaviours or food related issues
