I am a warm and caring therapeutic counsellor, an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I offer a supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and the challenges you are facing in a confidential space.

I will work collaboratively with you to support your mental and emotional health and to restore balance and maintain your overall wellbeing.

 

Here are some of the ways I can help:

Emotional Support:

I provide a safe space where you can talk about life experiences, concerns and problems that are causing you distress or unhappiness. A place where you can express your thoughts and be heard, allowing you to release bottled-up emotions and reducing stress which promotes emotional freedom and wellbeing.

 

Developing healthy coping strategies:

To replace false friends such as alcohol, drugs, or substance misuse. Learning to manage stress and anxiety in day-to-day life and build resilience.

 

Identifying negative thought patterns and beliefs:

Together we can explore and challenge negative self-talk and criticism and replace it with healthier more realistic perspectives which promotes self-esteem and improved confidence.

 

Self-reflection & self-awareness:

Working to gain a deeper understanding of who you are and who you want to be.

Discovering patterns of behaviour or beliefs that are holding you back (ever get stuck in the same relationship just with different people)?

Developing self-awareness will help you to identify your triggers and underlying issues giving you the clarity to make different decisions for a more positive future.

 

Personal growth:

Self-exploration helps you to achieve your goals, whether its lifestyle changes, career aspirations or happier relationships I will support you throughout the process.

 

Building healthier relationships:

With partners, family, friends or work colleagues. Our relationships are important, they can be the bedrock of our lives, yet unfulfilling relationships can be the root of much unhappiness.

I can help you explore communications styles, conflict resolution, repair attempts and boundary setting, promoting better connections with the others in your life.
