Is life feeling overwhelming or challenging?
Are events preventing you from living the life you want to lead?
Do you feel out of control, stuck or lost?
If so, now could be the right time for you to speak with someone.
I am here to listen and support you through your own healing process.
I am passionate about the positive changes that Counselling can bring. You can feel less alone with your own problems and see your thoughts from a different perspective. Wouldn't it be great to spend time on yourself, feel more in control and improve your quality of life?
Common concerns I can help with:
Anxiety (worry)
Depression (low mood)
Bereavement
Relationship Issues
Domestic Abuse
Trauma
Self Harm
Addiction
How Can I Help You?
I have a down to earth and kind approach with an emphasis on building a non judgemental and trusting relationship with you.
I am not here to tell you what to do, but offer a warm and caring space for you to feel heard and supported. Only you know how you feel in any given situation, so I put you at the heart of everything we do together.
I can offer short or long term Counselling. Each session will last 50 minutes and I find it works best to meet once a week which allows a balance of pace yet offers you space in between to reflect.
I am a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor which means I draw on a number of theories to help you make sense of things. I use a number of creative approaches which can support the process. We can agree the best approach for you together.
If you would like to book an appointment or call for an informal chat about your needs, then please don’t hesitate to call, email or send a message on the contact form and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
