At times we all need a bit of extra support and help with life's difficulties
Do you feel anxious or low, are you suffering from depression, overwhelmed with relationship issues, troubles and feelings? You may be struggling with panic attacks and phobias.
Have you suffered a bereavement or loss including a beloved pet.
Do you have a long term chronic condition such as Arthritis, ME, Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue or Chronic pain?
Life may be a struggle, you may feel as though you are going round and round in circles, or just stuck with nothing making sense?
Maybe counselling can help you gain clarity and direction

I can offer a safe, confidential, non judgmental environment for you to able to express your true feelings and move on from whatever is troubling you, working specifically on areas you would like to change through exploration, mindfulness and discovery to improve and liberate.
