In Person Counselling in Alderley Edge

One of the most difficult parts of the therapeutic process is taking that first step – deciding to talk to someone. The counselling that I offer provides a safe, confidential space for clients to explore difficult issues, obstacles, choices, and aspirations. I work in a psychosynthetic context that within each individual there exists both a personality (patterns of behaviour) as well as a spiritual aspect (our innate potential) encompassing work at the levels of mind and thinking, body and feeling, spirit and purpose. In our personal and professional lives each of us is a Self that is both divine and human.

I specialise in empowering woman and helping them bring what they want into their lives. I can help you work on low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, and much more. Having therapy is all about making positive change. Henry Ford once said “If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got”. It’s very easy to fall into the trap of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. My priority is to guide you in changing your mindset, your perspective and your quality of life.

In life certain incidents such a loss and unhealthy relationships with self and others can lead you to disconnect from yourself. Disconnection can make it difficult for you to be able feel everyday emotions such as joy, contentment and love which can have a detrimental impact on your ability to move on with your life and thrive, leaving you trapped in unhelpful patterns of behaviour that no longer serve you. After experiencing a loss and supporting many individuals over the past 25 years I have developed a wealth of knowledge and skills that can also support you to facilitate change and allow you live the life that you want to live.

Sick of feeling anxious, stressed or unhappy? No matter how deep the roots of your problems go, I am here to help. Do you find yourself looking at others who seem to navigate life with ease, radiating happiness and confidence? It's time to stop watching from the sidelines. You deserve to wake up feeling content with yourself and the life you've built. Many people spend years stuck on the edges of their lives, waiting for things to get better. The truth is, no one is born with issues. We all start with confidence and a strong belief in ourselves. I would love to help you get that back.

Are you sick of saying yes when you want to say no? Do you want to be able to say ‘no’ without feeling guilty or full of anxiety, and feel comfortable and confident doing it? No wonder you feel anxious and stressed. Being preoccupied with what everyone else thinks and feels makes it hard to switch off and is exhausting! It's also a sign you may be stuck in a cycle of sacrificing your own needs for others. The good news is this can stop. You can retain the positive qualities that make you the kind person you are and make space for the real you! This is where my approach comes in.

Are you having problems with your relationship, family or friends? Maybe you are feeling dissatisfied, overwhelmed, guilty, upset or angry? Whatever feelings you have, it usually means pain for you in some way. Counselling isn’t just something people do when they are in crisis or at rock bottom, attending before problems snowball or get too overwhelming can help and save more pain in the long run.

Have you ever felt stuck with your family or work roles? Do the people who are meant to love you unconditionally, frequently hold you back? Do you find yourself constantly feeling the need to apologise for things, then wondering what you have done wrong? Maybe you have felt blamed for things in life and want to explore things further. Or you may feel held back by guilt and regret. I can work with you to explore this through a safe and steady process which looks at patterns across your life and within relationships. This will help you to break free from the restraints of negative approval you may have felt for many years.
