The difficulties, changes and challenges of  life can be devastating and overwhelming and can take many forms, from the death of a loved one, to the ending of a relationship or the loss of purpose or identity.

You may be feeling isolated and alone or confused as you try to come to terms with new and painful circumstances. Relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and stress may leave you struggling with feelings of sadness, shame or guilt. We’re often told that carrying on with life is necessary in order to get over these difficulties but it is rarely so simple!

Communicating feelings of pain, anger, guilt or depression to others can feel daunting but coping with this alone will do more harm than good. One of the most effective ways to cope with emotional and psychological distress is to address the underlying causes. I specialise in medium-long term counselling in order to understand the roots of your difficulties and create long lasting change. We will do this together at a pace that suites you.

By exploring life events, patterns of behaviours and thinking while feeling supported and accepted you can gain better insight and understanding of yourself and your difficulties, find solutions and ways to cope and bring you a sense of purpose and hope.

Counselling can provide ways to experience your emotions without them overwhelming you. You are not alone in this struggle.

I can help you to understand your feelings and process your loss, while feeling safe and supported, restoring a sense of purpose to your life.
