How Counselling Can Help
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." Carl Rogers
Counselling offers the opportunity to talk confidentially to a trained individual who will accept and support you as you make your way forward. Sometimes life feels very challenging and we can feel overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety, depression or a general sense of sadness or overwhelm. It can happen gradually or there may be a sudden event when we realise our usual coping skills are not working as well as they used to and we feel “stuck”. Counselling therapy can help us to understand ourselves and maybe to look at our responses in a different way. You may want to explore your emotions and feelings about events in the past or look at a current issue or relationship. Through greater awareness and clarity it is my hope that you may experience insights into your world and an improved sense of wellbeing leading to the possibility of change.
By embracing flaws and imperfections we can create something even stronger

Relationship Counselling
You may be reading this because you are worried about your couple relationship. Perhaps you see unhelpful behaviour patterns that you can’t break out from, or maybe issues from your individual histories are getting in the way of you having a satisfying relationship. Your relationship may be under stress as a result of external issues or transitions. You may be tired of living in this way and want to become closer, communicate your feelings better and have a more fulfilling relationship. I can facilitate discussions about issues that are having an impact on your relationship. I have had specialist couples therapy training to work both face to face and online which enables me to maintain a neutrality with both of you and put your relationship at the centre of our work.
I also have experience working with couples who have decided to separate and supporting discussions around managing this difficult time.
I welcome all couples to my practice and it is my hope that by working together on your relationship you may gain greater awareness of your selves both individually and as a couple.
