I respect the courage it takes to reach out. I provide a space where you can talk confidentially and experience warmth, support and acceptance from someone who wants to see things from your perspective.
Listening to what you are going through gives us both a deeper understanding, together we can begin to make sense of things which will provide relief. You will feel stronger and more able to cope with things you find difficult.
My way of working helps you manage emotions and physical reactions, reconnecting and trusting yourself gives you confidence. You will be able to make decisions which are not influenced by others, giving you a sense of freedom and independence.
We can find a way to come to terms with things, explore what you would like to be different and how to go about making that happen. Together we can find acceptance and meaning, and gain a greater range of responses to people and problems in life.
I work with anxiety and depression. Family dynamics, conflict and relationship issues. Divorce and separation. Low confidence, motivation and self esteem. Intense emotions, loneliness, stress and anger management. Cultural issues and racial identity. Mental and physical health problems, bereavement and loss.
Counselling is a way of giving ourselves time to discover our feelings and needs. We can explore what we do and how we see ourselves, as well as how we relate to others and the world around us.
Counselling gives us the opportunity to:
It can be hard to reach out for help when day-to-day life feels overwhelming.
Trying to manage mental and physical health with the various demands and pressures we feel can be difficult.
Sometimes unexpected life events happen to us or someone close. Our experiences, work and relationships can cause us problems. You may feel life is lacking purpose and meaning, or you are not living in the way you want to.
Understanding yourself on a deeper level improves your life and changes the way you live. If you would like to know more about my therapy services please get in touch.
