Sometimes one of the bravest steps is to seek help. Many people find it freeing to speak with a trained, impartial professional who can help them make sense of their thoughts and emotions, and understand themselves better.
Counselling can be particularly helpful to process painful feelings and events, and to work towards positive change in your life. Talking things through can help bring clarity, and makes decision-making more straightforward.
My aim is to offer a warm and open-minded space where you can focus fully on yourself. I adapt my approach from session to session — sometimes more gently supportive, sometimes more challenging, depending on what you feel you need.
In our work together, you’ll set the pace and choose what you want to explore. This may include specific issues such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, OCD, and addictions. I could help you navigate emotional responses around loss, beliefs and identity, emerging from a life transition or difficult situation.
Together, we can find ways for you to live the life you want to be living. We can identify the broader patterns and emotional obstacles that affect you, and look at how things could be different for you. This might involve discovering what you actually want, rather than what you think you should want from life or relationships. This could help you reconnect with aspects of yourself that have been suppressed.
