Stress Counselling in Bournemouth
There can be times in life, where we may need help to weather emotional difficulties we encounter, to gain clarity and understanding. This may be through loss (bereavement or loss of a relationship, job or life changes), stress (anxiety, depression) and relationship problems (including how we feel about ourselves). There can be many reasons why you may be seeking help and it's a brave step to acknowledge and address this, by taking the first step in looking for support.

Why seek therapy? At times life is hard and being able to talk to someone that is actively working to feel and understand what you are going through can help. You might be experiencing loss, or undergoing changes in your home life, work, relationships or health. You might be living with uncomfortable feelings like stress, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, anger or sadness. Or you might be feeling a certain way but cant articulate why. Or you may be struggling to find joy and direction in your life right now.

Working in a Neurodiverse affirming way, I am experienced working with a wide range of issues, including: anxiety, bereavement (CRUSE bereavement volunteer), work stress, relationship issues & life transitions, low self-esteem, past childhood abuse, emotional neglect, chronic illness, PMS/PMDD/menopause, nightmares, trauma, self-harm, panic attacks.
Life can be messy it rarely turns out exactly as we hope or plan. Perhaps relationship or work-life difficulties are causing you emotional pain and mental suffering. Maybe you have been signed off from work, college or university with anxiety or stress, or you’re simply not able to enjoy the ‘sunshine‘ moments of life. Counselling can help you navigate the difficulties that are causing your emotional & mental suffering & provide support as you work towards building a more fulfilled & contented life. Shame is a common theme associated with low self-esteem, however, working together we can reduce its impact to improve your well-being.

I have worked with: anxiety, depression, loss, bereavement, family and relationship issues, low self esteem, confidence or motivation, stress and anger.
I provide a space where you can talk confidentially and experience warmth and acceptance from someone who wants to see things from your perspective. We will work together to understand what you are going through, making sense of things can give you back control. A stronger sense of self emerges which makes you feel more able to cope and manage what you find difficult. My way of working helps you trust your instincts and gain confidence. You will be able to make decisions which are not influenced by others, giving you more independence. We can find a way to come to terms with things and explore what you would like to be different.

I am experienced in working with trauma, dissociation, anxiety and post-traumatic stress, sexual violence and domestic abuse, low self esteem, depression, loss and grief.
There are times when many of us feel we could benefit from emotional support and although making that first step to see a counsellor can seem enormous, it is a really positive step as talking in confidence to a professional counsellor can help bring clarity and healing and give you much needed support during a painful or anxious time. Counselling can help you make sense of your emotions and responses and empower you to make changes in your life. It facilitates the freedom to talk openly and confidentially, in a place where you will be really listened to.

I have wide-ranging experience helping clients with a variety of trauma related issues such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress, intrusive thoughts & suicidal ideation.
We all go through life experiencing good and bad moments, but sometimes the bad experiences can become too overwhelming to manage them on our own. Sometimes they may be a result of sudden changes which life throws at us unexpectedly leaving us vulnerable and lost in a new reality and sometimes it may be that we want to change something in our lives, but don’t really know how, which leaves us feeling stuck and helpless. If this sounds familiar to how you feel why not try counselling? Talking to someone you can trust who can listen without any judgement can be very helpful especially in these challenging times.

It can be a great relief to be able to share your worries and stress with someone. We all struggle at times and as much as we would like to talk to our friends or family we feel unable to let them in. Sometimes we feel stuck, alone and not able to find the solution to the problem that's making us unhappy. Being able to talk openly with someone who can support you, without judgement, as you explore your feelings and the circumstances that are causing you stress can make a big difference. You will start to feel in control, see things more clearly and feel more confident to make the changes you want to in your life.
