It’s easy to get along with life, feeling all is well. But sometimes life throws things at us. Sometimes things go wrong, relationships end or there is a death in the family, or children leave home; and sometimes we feel out of balance, or out of sorts but not sure why; sometimes we have panic or anxiety attacks, or depression.
To be honest, it would be a miracle if we were not experiencing any of these right now. The pandemic knocked most of us in more ways than we realised. Our relationships and work life, people we were unable to say goodbye to. Are we working from home? Or living at work? Anxiety is being experienced like never before.
It’s easy to tell ourselves that other people ‘have it worse’, or that we should just get on with it. But actually, no. It’s not about anyone else; it’s about how YOU feel and what impact this is having on you.
I can offer you the space to explore your feelings. I can help with anxiety or relationships. I can help with feelings of low self-worth which stop us reaching our full potential. I am EMDR qualified and can help you with anxiety, trauma, and a variety of other difficulties.
Unlike family or friends, what you say won’t have the same impact on me. I will listen to you undividedly. Working together we can start to turn things around. Find alternative ways of looking at things, or where things are going wrong, and get you back on track.
I believe every person has the potential to unlock their own resources and find inner strengths. We just sometimes need help finding the right key; which is where I can help.
I am passionate about my work and fully committed to providing a safe space for people to explore their personal issues and worries. As an Accredited Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), I have met their higher standard as a competent, ethical and independent practitioner giving you the best possible service.
