Parenting Counselling in Norwich

I build therapeutic relationships based on the Client-Centered core conditions of Empathy, Unconditional Positive Regard (respect) and Congruence (genuineness) I have had a lot of success with helping young people and younger adults, as well as parents of adolescents feel more comfortable within themselves and move towards their full potential. I work with low level mental health difficulties that are not entrenched and relationship and personal identity issues and emotional difficulties. I also enjoy supervising trainee Counsellers and those in the early stages of their practice.

We help children, adolescents and adults with a range of mental health struggles. Our practice is patient focused so at all times their needs and recovery is at the centre of our work, ensuring positive outcomes for them.

You may be struggling at the moment with relationships or life in general. Perhaps you feel confused about yourself and the other - unsure about whether you are being reasonable or whether it is ok to feel upset or angry. You may put on a mask when dealing with others, terrified of being seen as your authentic self. Perhaps you like people but find them draining after a while. Or you may have experienced abuse, verbal abuse, or bullying in either your family of origin, your workplace or your romantic relationships. Or you may just have a hunch that something's not right or feel that there is something wrong with you.

Are you tired of overthinking and never feeling good enough? Are your relationships often difficult or disappointing? Are you struggling to relax and enjoy life? When life is hard, it’s difficult to feel hope for the future. It can feel like setting yourself up for a fall and you're not sure whether you've got the strength to get back up again. I can help you understand more about yourself, why you feel like you do and how to bring about real, lasting change.
