Do you have times when you don’t sleep, you're flat, numb or withdrawn? Are you working more hours than you need to? Is it difficult to start the workday? Are you in a relationship that isn’t working? Have you lost a loved one?
Life is challenging. Sometimes even the nice things we celebrate can cause us to feel swamped and full of mixed feelings we would rather avoid. It's hard to talk to anyone about them. Even harder to talk to a stranger like me.
You’ve made a great start in looking at my website for help.
Whether you're looking to understand your thoughts and feelings, the dynamics of your relationships, or are just feeling stuck, I can help you explore your world and build new patterns of behaviour. Through our sessions, I will gently challenge and bring focus to the difficult areas of your life and help unravel any mysteries around your behaviour.
As a mother (of a grown-up daughter) and someone who has been through my own emotional distress, I know about that critical voice in your head telling you to get a grip, get on with it, stop being stuck. Learning about myself through counselling has given me a different perspective and personal insight into how family and life traumas interconnect, and what part I played within these dynamics. I understand how I got to where I am now, and can look at the future with new awareness.
I’ve experienced various work environments for many years. Besides being a private practice counsellor, I counsel students within a secondary school and have worked as a volunteer providing counselling sessions for the last 15 years. I also have experience working in the corporate finance sector. This gives me a wider understanding of working practices, the pressures of the work/life balancing act and the impact this can often have on wellbeing.
It’s not my place to judge you but to help you through your difficult time at your pace, not mine, to work alongside you and be a guide to where you want to be. And if you’re unsure what that is, that’s OK. Let’s find out together. Maybe you know how you might work best. You may want some direction, or to lead the way. I can share some ideas with you and we’ll work it out together. With regular reviews, we can work together and agree on the way forward.
This is your therapy and your time. I will never tell you what to do, but I will help you find answers through the exploration of the problems you are facing. Together, we can develop strategies and look at new and more positive ways to deal with difficulties.
