Are you feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed? Life can be painful and upsetting, and it is not easy to ask for help. It takes courage making the first step in talking to a counsellor. I understand how difficult this can be as I have experienced this myself. I can help you talk through the things that you are struggling with. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Sometimes this can only be realised by talking to someone who understands your difficulties. I am experienced in helping people with anxiety, depression, bereavement, and loss, or finding meaning in life. I also specialise in supporting women through menopause and perimenopause, and also supporting people close to women affected by menopause.I can offer a relaxing space where you can talk openly and in confidence. I can provide an opportunity to talk about things that are difficult to share with others. I can help you to feel better about yourself, your problems and better understand yourself and your feelings, or even to find meaning from life. You can discuss your issues without being judged or criticised, with acceptance and empathy. Counselling is not about giving advice; it is about allowing you to discuss your issues, without judgement, in a safe and friendly space enabling you to find new ways to help yourself, or make changes to your life if you choose to.I am qualified and hold a BSc Honours in Counselling. I work with an integrative approach, tailoring the therapy to your needs. I am also regularly updating my skills and experience by undertaking further training and qualifications. Examples of further training I have undertaken include outdoor therapy training, acceptance & commitment therapy, art therapy, mental health awareness, working with the inner child, and neurobiology of intimate interpersonal trauma.
