About me
I work with anxiety, depression, anger, low self esteem, relationship issues (one to one therapy not couples therapy), bereavement, stress, low mood, work/employment issues and loneliness.
In our sessions together we can:
● Explore issues, thoughts, feelings, behaviour and reactions
● Take action to change or make life better
● Find solutions to problems
● Understand why which can include ourselves and why we might behave, react, think and feel in certain ways
● Provide a safe space free of judgement to open up and talk freely
● Challenge where appropriate and safely
● Find ways that work for you to try to resolve or change the problems in your life
It can take courage and strength to reach out for help and the first step on that path is to reach out and contact me.
I will be working remotely via telephone or video call.
