About me and my therapy practice

Do you think you are either "not enough" or "too much" for the people around you. 

Perhaps you feel guilty and think "it's all your fault" - that there's something wrong with you. Maybe you're experiencing anxiety and stress as you try to please people. 

What I specialise in

Feeling lost/ loss of identity:

Feeling lost can be caused by several factors, such as a lack of purpose, fulfilment, or direction. Right now, it may seem like life has no meaning. When this happens, though, remember that you need to go easy on yourself instead of blaming yourself for feeling lost.

Feeling lost or you have forgotten who you are. This could be due to:

  • Illness
  • Loss (death or loss of loved one from breakup or job)
  • Menopause
  • Other emotional factors like anxiety, depression
  • Being overwhelmed
  • Your self-image and confidence.

You may even start second-guessing yourself and the things in which you’ve believed. This feeling eventually trickles down to areas, such as friendships, relationships, career paths.

Individual Relationship problems: (couples counselling other listing) 

Do you struggle to form or maintain relationships with others? Maybe you're afraid to try again as you do not want to get hurt? My clients have said it feel's like when a relationship ended for them it was ‘their fault ‘or ‘they were too much.’

• The if, (If i did it differently or if i didn't say that)

• I should have, ( I should have tried harder or I should have known)

• The if only I, ( If I did it another way or if I had said something sooner)

It is hard trying to get over a breakup or to start a new relationship, whether it is commitment issues, previous unpleasant experience or trauma, maybe never having been in a relationship.

Some clients have anxiety from using dating apps, starting fresh with someone new or ending something (e.g. relationship, job, moving etc..) and the anxiety that comes with it.


 

Practice description

About me:

I am a firm believer in 'there is no such thing as normal' so I wanted to be honest and tell you a bit about me and what made me become a counsellor and seek my own counselling.

Being a parent of a child with multiple complex mental health disorders was tiring, frustrating and lonely as I seemed to be on my own, at times I was expected to know more than the specialists. This in itself was overwhelming without managing my daily life.

She is the reason I got into Counselling as watching someone I care deeply about from a child to an adult, feel continuously let down and judged over their mental health and just another statistic or diagnosis. I wanted to be that someone for the parents going through this, so they did not feel alone.

Having two children leave home feeling that 'empty nest' and menopause at the same time was challenging and emotional. My close relationships with loved ones and friends were affected I lost myself and my confidence, but I learnt to manage and put things in place to balance out my life and have a healthier and happier emotional state.

About me and my therapy practice

About me and my sessions

A Counselling service that helps clients with life difficulties that are affecting your day-to-day life. Are you feeling it is time to help you? are you looking for support to get back on track, feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed.

 It is all too often we put others before ourselves, keep our peace of mind on the back burner. Are you looking for support to get back on track?

Counselling for my clients has helped to unlock feelings and thoughts, by exploring what is said and reflecting on things felt. They feel understood, relieved, and heard. I have no agenda to meet or boxes to tick, it is about you, what you bring and what you need.

 

It is not just talking in our sessions I also work creatively and think outside of the box. Using creativity to dig deep and explore patterns of behaviour and letting go of negative thoughts. By giving you ways to see things hidden or face fears, you do the work and benefit from the results. The session is aimed around your needs and end goals. 

I am not just guessing how it feels or reading a book to gain knowledge I have lived with what I specialise in, I suffered with anxiety, depression and work-related stress and now it’s the menopause. 

I am a firm believer in 'there is no such thing as normal' so I wanted to be honest and tell you a bit about me and what made me become a counsellor and seek my own counselling. 

Being a parent of a child with multiple complex mental health disorders was tiring, frustrating and lonely as I seemed to be on my own, at times I was expected to know more than the specialists. She is the reason I got into Counselling as watching someone I care deeply about from a child to an adult, feel continuously let down and judged over their mental health, just another statistic. I wanted to be that someone for them, so they did not feel alone. 


Practice description

What I specialise in

Anxiety: My clients often have anxiety as the core issue and are struggling to manage or cope with this on their own. This includes social anxiety and generalised anxiety disorder. Some clients have anxiety from using dating apps, starting fresh with someone new or ending something (e.g. relationship, job, moving etc..) and the anxiety that comes with it.

Depression: We all have times when our mood is low, and we're feeling sad or miserable about life. Usually these feelings pass in due course.But if the feelings are interfering with your life and don't go away after a couple of weeks, or if they come back over and over again for a few days at a time, it could be a sign that you're experiencing depression.

work related stress: My clients are going through a career change, do not like their jobs anymore or have started in a new job role and find it overwhelming or stressful. It's helpful to learn how to manage stress caused by work. If you often experience feelings of stress, you might be at risk of developing a mental health problem like depression or anxiety.

I offer

Online and telephone sessions covering the UK. If you feel ready to talk or have a question call or email me, I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I offer flexible appointments to suit the client's needs.
