1:1 Counselling Sessions

Service Description

I dedicate my time to continual professional development. I work with anyone aged 16+. If you are affected by anything that is causing distress, sadness, low mood, suicidal thoughts, depression, or anxiety - please get in touch. I specialize in working with those struggling with bullying, addiction, trauma, attachment issues, narcissism, neglect, family issues, domestic and sexual abuse; including child sexual exploitation - but will sit beside anyone who needs support. Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming and maybe a little scary. It can be hard to know what to expect and it can seem as though the hill that you are climbing is so steep and you have no idea how therapy can change how you feel about yourself and your world. I felt the same many years ago. But, for me, therapy changed everything. We are made up of years of experiences; some sad, some happy, some testing, some traumatic, and some even devastating. There is a reason for everything that we do, think, and feel. We are informed by our experiences. Do you find that your brain just won’t switch off? Do you feel down on yourself or feel as though you just cannot get motivated? Can you see repeated patterns that affect your relationships and how you view life? Do you feel that no matter how much you try and change these patterns the same things happen again? Let me help you. I get it and I have dedicated the last decade and more to understanding why this happens and finding ways to feel joy and gain control over your life. You have the tools within you to ride the waves of the rough seas - you just need someone beside you whilst you navigate that. I use a mind-body approach which means that we really sit with the effect that stress and trauma can have on our whole system. Our thoughts can trick us - our nervous system can’t. By combining the two we can process in a way that acknowledges and explores all of your experiences, both cognitive and somatic. So, it isn't just 'talking' - it's discovering who you truly are on a deep level and finding a way to move forward and develop the resilience and determination that is within you! Are you ready to connect with yourself and heal from within? Sessions are 50 minutes long and should be weekly, but if this doesn't suit we can discuss further.
