About me
Everybody struggles from time to time and sometimes it can get in the way of our lives. Have you noticed changes in your life? Are you worrying more than usual and finding it hard to relax? Maybe you are feeling sad, low in mood or get cross and irritable more quickly? Is it hard to put yourself first or just saying no? Do you feel less motivated or less enjoyment in life? Or have you noticed difficulties with sleeping? Perhaps you don’t feel the way you want? Or do you just feel ‘stuck’? These struggles could be getting in your way or affecting relationships with those closest to you. If so, these are things I can help you with.
Things happen in our lives that have a huge impact on how we feel and how we cope. I am a counselling psychologist trained in different approaches which can be used to provide you with a ‘toolbox’ of strategies helping you to feel better in yourself, to make the changes you need and to help you to cope with what life brings.
