What can I help with?

Together we will focus on whatever you might be struggling with, be that your general wellbeing, your mental health, feelings of self-esteem, self-confidence, past trauma, relationship difficulties, sexuality, problems at work, college, school, or within your family. Maybe you are bereaved and trying to process your loss.

As a Relate trained relationship therapist I take a systemic approach to help couples who have challenges getting along, maybe you are arguing all the time or perhaps someone has been cheating, had an affair or struggles with an addiction to sex or porn. You might need to explore some difficult issues and we can do that with you as a couple or individually.  I recognise these can be difficult problems to share, it’s not easy, but it can be a relief to talk confidentially, rather than keep things bottled up.

I have specialist training in grief therapy as a Bereavement Volunteer for Cruse Bereavement Care. Grief can often feel lonely and complex and counselling can provide emotional support if you have experienced loss through the death of a loved one.

As a school counsellor I have heard young people age 14-18 share the pressures and hurdles they face with academic work, friendships, body image, social media, difficult feelings and emotions and I have seen how compassionate counselling can genuinely help them navigate these challenges on the path to adulthood.
