About me
If you're struggling with anxiety, depression or isolation, you are not on your own and support is here . With guidance, I know you can draw on resilience to manage life's demands and challenges. I offer free initial appointments.
I have over 20 years experience as a therapist in private practice, the NHS and Employee Assistance Programmes. I also work with managers and staff following Critical Incidents in the workplace. I am qualified and registered to work with individuals, couples, families and organisations.
I have extensive experience helping clients overcome:
· Anxiety
· Depression
· Sadness
· Feeling Unheard
· Anger
· Relationship Issues, Affairs & Betrayals
· Low Self Esteem
· Feeling Helpless, Hopeless or Defeated
· Inability to Function
· Negative Thinking
Most of us will experience these difficulties at some point in our lives. We don't always want to 'trouble' our friends and family. No matter how hard we try, we can end up feeling defeated. We simply cannot think straight. Sadly, if we continue to 'push through' on our own, our mood, sleep, motivation and work can all deteriorate. Relationships may suffer too, We may not make the best decisions.
My approach
I am warm, compassionate and welcoming...offering you a safe, confidential space to explore your difficulties. My aim is to re-establish your confidence, resilience and emotional well-being so you can live a positive and fulfilling life.
I draw on my experience to tailor your therapy and together we work on challenges. eg improving mood, motivation, sleep and anxiety.
What next?
Deciding to seek counselling is never easy. That's why I'm happy to offer a free initial appointment, so that you can decide if I'm the right counsellor for you.
