I have availability to work with clients throughout the week. 

Do you ever just feel drained having to pretend that you're okay when you're actually struggling with something?

Are you struggling with anxiety, overthinking, low confidence or self-doubt? You might have a loud inner critic that makes it difficult to believe in yourself, or find yourself questioning whether you鈥檙e good enough, doing enough or living the way you 鈥渟hould鈥� be. You may find difficult emotions hard to sit with, so you keep yourself busy, distract yourself or try to push feelings away. You might tell yourself, 鈥淚 shouldn鈥檛 be feeling like this鈥� or 鈥淚 shouldn鈥檛 be thinking this way鈥�, while your thoughts continue to spiral.

Maybe you鈥檙e used to being the supportive one who wants to support others but finds it difficult to ask for support yourself, because you don鈥檛 want to feel like a burden. You may compare yourself to other people and feel like everyone else is doing more, achieving more or somehow doing life better than you which might leave you feeling like you always need to do more.

Sometimes, we can become so focused on what we think we should be doing, or what other people expect from us, that we lose touch with what we actually want, need and feel. You might not even know exactly what you need help with. You may simply know that something doesn't feel right, that you feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself, and want to understand why.

Whether you want to talk about a specific issue, understand your anxiety and overthinking, build your self-esteem, explore difficulties in your relationships, or develop a more accepting relationship with yourself, we can do this together.

Counselling is something we work through together. You don鈥檛 have to come with all the answers, or even know exactly what to say. We can take the time to explore what you鈥檙e experiencing, understand why you might think, feel or respond in certain ways, and notice patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck.

I won鈥檛 tell you what you should do or decide what鈥檚 right for you. Instead, I鈥檒l help you explore your experiences from different angles. Sometimes I may gently challenge a thought or offer another perspective- not to tell you that your experience is wrong, but to help you consider what else might be possible. My aim is to support you in reaching your own understanding and finding what feels true for you, at your own pace.

I'll help you become more aware of your inner experience- noticing what you're feeling, what your emotions may be trying to tell you and how you respond when things feel difficult.

Rather than trying to get rid of difficult thoughts and feelings, we can work towards building capacity to allow them without feeling so controlled by them and to work towards being less critical and judgemental of yourself. 

I offer a free 15 minute phone call once you enquire. I know this can be nervewracking to take this first step but it will be informal and a chance for us to have a chat about what's made you decide to start with a counsellor, you can ask any questions if you have any, I can also explain how my approach works and it will give you a chance to see whether it'll be the right fit for you. There's no obligation to continue if you have this call and decide that it may not be the best fit for you, I want you to be sure that you're getting a counsellor that suits you best! 

I am available to take on new clients throughout the week.
