Are anxiety, depression, emotional distress or relationship issues weighing you down? Often, these are tied to complex trauma and the trauma induced unhelpful behavior, emotional and cognitive patterns, which many don't realize. If you find it hard to upset others, struggle to meet expectations, worry about opinions or feel empty, you might be caught in this cycle. This can lead to low self-esteem and neglecting your own needs. Breaking the traps involves self-discovery, addressing the roots of your struggles, and healing your inner traumatized child. Let's work together to reclaim your self-worth and empower the growth.

We are all uniquely different, with the potential to seek insight and positive outcomes through a deeper understanding and awareness of ourselves and our environment. Life events and personal issues relating to relationship conflicts, grief, losses, and trauma may cause feelings of being overwhelmed with emotions, anxieties, worrying thoughts, procrastination, stress, inability to think clearly, lack of direction and hopelessness. Counselling can assist in exploring dysfunctional beliefs that may be holding you back in life, looking at positive coping strategies and behaviours and, if required, doing EMDR for trauma.

Whether a couple, a family, or an individual, life has been tough in these past few years impacting most of us in some way, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, financially, and/or physically. For many, it may be the first time to consider reaching out for some extra support. For others, the tough times will have brought to the surface, issues that have been festering for a while, but now appear more serious. Whatever the circumstance, being supported in compassionate and confidential surrounds, with relevancy and sensitivity, results can and will occur, with the road ahead emerging as more possible and attractive to navigate.
