People seek counselling/therapy for all sorts of reasons: stress or anxiety in their home or work life; difficulties in their relationships; feeling low, sad or depressed; a bereavement or major loss; a trauma experienced; panic attacks; a sense of paralysis in making life decisions; overwhelmed by angry feelings. Or maybe just a sense that something is wrong but it’s hard to put a finger on exactly what. They want something to change, and need some help to explore and understand their issues better.

It can be helpful for us to explore early life experiences, significant events, and relationships, to see if there’s any patterns occurring for you, or reasons for current difficulties. Then depending on the issue, we can look at some practical solutions and tools, where relevant, to help you bring about change and help you to feel better and move forward.

Your session is your time, and a space to be yourself, without judgement. As your counsellor, I will be there to listen, notice, gently challenge at times, and support you with your needs and goals.
