About me
When life and relationships feel like an endless uphill battle, it can feel exhausting. Whether you are experiencing difficulties in your relationship, within your wider family, or struggling with the impact of ADHD or menopause, counselling can help you gain a clearer picture of what is happening and how you can make changes that suit your individual needs.
COUPLES
You may feel like you are trapped in a cycle of repetive conflict, walking on eggshells, or like you are living with a housemate rather than a partner. Together, we can understand the core issues pulling you apart, recognise unhealthy communication patterns and find a way to function like a team again. You may be struggling to repair after a betrayal, or find a way to both feel heard and seen when you have different wants and needs. Whatever you are experiencing as a couple, counselling can help you get back on track.
INDIVIDUALS
There are many reasons why people reach out to a counsellor. I work with individuals who are carrying the weight of unhealthy relationships (past or present), navigating difficult family dynamics, trying to untangle the impact of a late ADHD diagnosis, or ride the emotional rollercoaster of menopause. Many people start counselling feeling stuck, overwhelmed and exhausted. Life does not have to feel this way. We will work together to help you feel more in control and more like you again.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Counselling is not a tick list of issues to fix. It is about creating a professional, confidential, calm space in which we can work together to
- understand the core issues. We will safely explore the root causes of the patterns which are keeping you stuck
- step out of survival mode. We will look at how your day to day life and past experiences are impacting you, and collaborate to find solutions that suit you as an individual.
- make lasting positive change. Whether that means learning how to understand and communicate your needs clearly, become more boundaried or simply discover who you are underneath the noise of overwhelm.
You don't have to keep carrying everything alone. Whether you are an individual or a couple, I am here to help and support you. If you would like more information or to book a session, please click the email icon. I will respond within 24hrs.
