Maybe you are here because you have a problem or issue in life that needs addressing and working through to find a solution and short term solution focused therapy is what you are looking for.

Or it may be a more complex issue that you would like to get to the bottom of and understand for example why do you the same issues in relationships keep coming up? How can you stop the negative dialogue that plays out in your mind and prevents you from doing things and keeps you awake at night? How do you process and move on from past traumas or destructive relationships? Why can't you believe in yourself and you   constantly let fear and worry hold me back?

​

I have a special interest in working with people to help them understand how our past experiences and relationships impact the way we are and the way we interact with the world around us. Working together we can identify some of your limiting  belief systems, thought patterns, feelings and behaviours and have the ability to change them. Ask yourself If I didn't have this limiting belief about myself or my life what would my life be like?

That's yours to discover

What's a negative language pattern that you keep falling into? What behaviour do you habitually fall into even though you know it's destructive? Do you find yourself constantly putting yourself down, beating yourself up and generally giving yourself a hard time?

It's exhausting right? 

But it can change. Awareness is the first step to change. I want to empower you to take back control of the person you want to be and start living your life with confidence and empowerment.

​

Anxiety, stress. overthinking, worry are becoming common experiences in todays world for many people. It can leave you overwhelmed, cut off from people, fearful and  unable to live life to the full and form connections. It can lead to depression and cause physical symptoms too. I can work with you to explore what the root cause is and also help you to find tools and techniques to be able to manage anxiety and stress effectively.

I have myself struggled with my mental health in the past and I know how powerful therapy can be to overcome some of these barriers. That's why I trained as a counsellor as I want to pass on my learning and experience. You are not alone! ANxiety symptoms

How will counselling with me make a difference?

How often do you have the space to talk and be really heard and validated? When is there ever time for you to talk about whatever it is that's going on in your head to someone that will listen without giving their opinion, relating it to their story or just trying to gloss over and move on making it better for you?

1. It's a rare thing in life to be able to take time for ourselves and that is why a therapeutic relationship can make a huge difference to you and the way you live your life.

2. It gives you the time you need to find clarity, to focus address any barriers you have in order to move forward and achieve a life worth living.

• Reduced symptoms: Therapy and counseling can help alleviate symptoms of mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. By learning coping skills and developing healthier habits, you can reduce the severity and frequency of your symptoms.

• Better relationships: Therapy and counseling can help you improve your relationships with others. By learning effective communication skills and addressing underlying issues, you can build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

• Increased resilience: Through therapy and counseling, you can learn to better cope with stress and adversity. This can help you become more resilient and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.

Don't be held back from the programming of the past, your future is a story to start writing today!
