Why you might contact me....
....needing to be listened to?
I make every effort to make each person I work with feel genuinely heard and understood. It starts with listening carefully to you, and then, together, we will discover ways for you to address your concerns, working to help you live a more satisfying, meaningful life – whatever that may look like for you.
I am available for a 15-minute consultation (no charge) and we can then see if I might be the right person for you to speak to in confidence.
.....living with loss?
Are you struggling with a loss, a feeling of loneliness or isolation, and feel you need some support?
Feeling understood by a therapist can reduce the feelings of struggle and confusion that may be experienced.
It allows a true understanding to develop in relation to the loss and this can lead you to trust yourself more as you navigate the process.
I am available for a 15-minute consultation (no charge) and we can then see if I might be able to support you to process your feelings of loss.
.....relationship strain?
Are you finding it difficult to cope with the demands of relationships, with parenthood, or to just feel ‘normal’ around other people when you have so much on your mind?
Do you feel you need to keep what is troubling you to yourself? Rather than silence what you are feeling, counselling offers the safe space to talk to someone other than friends or family, who will listen empathically and without judgement.
I am available for a 15-minute consultation (no charge) and we can then see if I might be able to support you to process your difficulties.
…..needing to heal?
Exposure to painful, disturbing or traumatic life events is inevitable. A relationship with a trusted therapist can allow you to gently share your experiences and expose your fears. Slowly you can learn to allow another person to witness your confusion, discomfort, anger, grief or shame and true healing can begin.
I am available for a 15-minute consultation (no charge) and we can then see if I might be the right person for you to work with as your process your life events.
.....stressed?
Do you feel threatened from all sides? Do you doubt your ability to cope? Do you feel you can't stop your mind racing? Stress is often a mix of anxiety, depression, panic feelings, poor sleep, anger, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, and poor wellbeing.
Talking about stress with a therapist can set you on the right path to help you rebuild your self-confidence and self-esteem.
I am available for a 15-minute consultation (no charge) and we can then see if I might be able to support you to process your difficulties.
Can you give yourself permission to express what is difficult for you these days?
If you keep minimising or shutting your distress down, it can have consequences in the long run, so it is important to validate your experience.
Can you acknowledge that the day to day anxiety that you are experiencing right now is real and should be verbalised?
I am available for a 15-minute consultation (no charge) and we can then see if I might be able to support you to process the root cause of your anxiety.
