Life is full of ups and downs, and getting some professional support during the tougher times can make all the difference. Sitting alone with our worries and pain can feel unbearable, yet when we share them within the safety of a warm and trusting relationship, things start to feel more manageable. I’d like to reassure you that whatever you bring to counselling, I will provide a compassionate and respectful space where we can explore your thoughts and feelings together in confidence, without judgment.

​​

Sometimes simply sharing what's going on for you and having it witnessed with kindness by another human being is all we need to feel a little better. But if you are interested in understanding more about how you help to construct the world around you, we can go deeper. We can take a look at how you relate to those around you, and in turn how others tend to respond.  We can explore how you deal with the darker emotions such as anxiety, sadness and anger, and why this might be. If necessary, I can help you find ways to process these feelings in a more constructive way.

Together we can examine the ideas, beliefs and stories you hold about yourself and others, and the strategies you use to keep yourself emotionally safe, so that you can decide which still serve you well, and which may no longer be necessary or helpful. And I can support you to develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself - by far the most important relationship any of us has.

​

But perhaps the most significant thing I can offer you is meaningful contact with another person who sometimes feels just like you do - scared, anxious, jealous, sad, angry, guilty, disillusioned, lonely... it's hard to be human!

Why not come along for a chat and see how we can work together to make things feel better?
