About me
Counselling and Menopause Coaching in Eastleigh
Are you going through a difficult time, feeling overwhelmed, anxious or low, or perhaps finding yourself at a crossroads in life? Sometimes life can bring challenges that feel difficult to manage alone, and having a safe space to talk can make a real difference.
I am a qualified counsellor based in the Eastleigh area, offering face-to-face and online counselling for adults and young people aged 10 and over. I provide a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace.
I work with a wide range of concerns, including:
Anxiety and depression
Bereavement and loss
Trauma and experiences of difficult or distressing events
Chronic illness and the emotional impact of health challenges
Adoption and issues relating to family life
ADHD and Autism
Difficulties experienced by young people and families
Life changes, transitions and periods of uncertainty
Menopause and the emotional challenges that can accompany this stage of life
I also offer menopause coaching, providing a supportive space to explore the emotional and practical impact of perimenopause and menopause. This can include changes in mood, confidence, identity, relationships, work and wellbeing, as well as navigating the changes that this stage of life can bring.
I have several years' experience working in the public sector, supporting and safeguarding families through challenging circumstances. I have worked with families and young people in a variety of settings, including looked-after and previously looked-after children, and have experience supporting individuals with ADHD and Autism.
Alongside my private counselling work, I counsel young people through a local charity, working within schools and supporting them with a range of difficulties and challenges.
I believe that counselling should be individual to you. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, so I work collaboratively with you to understand what you need and how you would like to work. I enjoy working creatively where appropriate and incorporate mindfulness and nature into my practice.
Making the decision to start counselling can feel daunting. You may not even be sure exactly what you need or where to begin. Our initial conversation can be an opportunity to talk about what is happening for you, ask any questions and consider whether counselling feels right for you.
Whether you are experiencing anxiety, coping with loss or trauma, adjusting to changes in your health or relationships, supporting a young person, or navigating the changes associated with menopause, you do not have to work through everything alone.
If you feel that some extra support could help, please get in touch to arrange an initial chat.
