About me
Is anxiety a problem for you? Are you always on edge, your mind busy, overthinking irrational thoughts. Perhaps you know your worries aren’t helping but you can’t seem to think your way out of them. Do you always plan for the worst-case scenario to avoid the worry and anxiety that comes with unknown, or do you avoid certain things or situations that you know will make you anxious and worry.
Do you struggle with decision making, social interactions and boundaries, are you second guessing yourself, finding it hard to speak up, comparing yourself to others and struggling to trust your own judgement. Then counselling with me can help.
The sessions are confidential, so you can talk about things you might not feel comfortable discussing with anyone else and the aim is to help you find better ways to cope, or to bring about changes in the way you think and behave that will improve your mental and emotional well-being. I aim at building a strong and respectful relationship with my clients, in a comfortable and safe place, without fear of being judged.
I offer short term and open-ended counselling for most difficulties but really enjoy working with anxiety, stress, depression and low self-esteem.
Those looking for a specific approach to therapy may wish to know that I am an integrative counsellor which means I can use a variety of techniques to suit the client’s individual needs. Including: Humanistic, Person Centred and Psychodynamic approaches. I also draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques.
To get started with your counselling, please call or email me to set up an initial consultation in which we can discuss what you would like to get out of your sessions with me. If you are happy and want to proceed, we can then arrange weekly or fortnightly sessions to suit you.
