Have you been through a life changing loss?  Loss of a partner, a livelihood, sense of identity, loss of a beloved pet or loss of any kind? No matter how long ago.

Are you feeling sad and isolated even when you are surrounded by people?  Perhaps you are having panic attacks or are feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you are gripped by anxiety or guilt,  feeling paralysed, not feeling able to move forwards.

If you are plagued with negative thoughts taking up a lot of space in your head, try to be kind to yourself. Give yourself permission to know that its okay to feel this way, it's okay to be human and it's also okay to seek help.  We all need help sometimes to deal with what life throws at us.  You are not broken beyond repair. Your loved ones may try to understand but it hurts when they just don't get it.  You may have limiting beliefs that are holding you back.  Making a transformation in your life is possible when you work through what is troubling you and learn to have respect and compassion for yourself.

Counselling with me is about bringing your pain and sharing it, letting it out in a non judgemental space so you no longer have to carry it alone.  There is a better life for you and I can guide and support you to untangle the knots that may limit the way you think, feel and imagine your future.

If you struggle to find the words, there are many creative ways to express thoughts and feelings. There is a lot of power in being  able to talk to a counsellor confidentially,  It can be life changing.

I understand that asking for help can be difficult; you have already taken a courageous step by looking for a Counsellor who seems like a good fit for you. Talking about your concerns doesn't make you weak; it makes you human.  I strongly believe that our mental health is as important as our physical health, and one can affect the other.

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy  and abide by their Code of Ethics. I have  over twenty five years experience of working with people with a terminal illness and also working with people who have been been bereaved, having worked In Hospices and with Cruse for over twenty years.

Sessions last for 50 minutes and are usually held on a weekly basis.  I work both short term and long term which can be discussed along the way. I have comfortable rooms in Emsworth,  between Portsmouth and Chichester, with a nearby  Pay and Display Car Park.  Please phone or e-mail for a free 15 minute consultation, or to make an appointment.  My fee is £50 per session, a sliding scale can be discussed.

I am offering Counselling On-Line and by Telephone with limited face to face appointments available in order to be Covid 19 safe.
