Counselling in Shropshire

I specialise in supporting people who are finding life difficult or finding it hard to find a way forward; people with difficulties around sadness, depression, fear or anxiety, PTSD, trauma, recovering from abuse, or feeling stuck in their lives. Trauma and abuse can leave people with feelings of being alone, worthless, broken, or hopeless and helpless. People however, absolutely hold the seeds of their recovery within themselves, and with the right support and encouragement, they can start to build a better life with meaning and value. I aim to use my training, and knowledge and experience, to support people in their journey.

We all have different reasons why we might be considering starting the counselling process. It could be that you need some temporary support for an issue that you are currently struggling with. Or you may feel that it is time to address something that you have been carrying with you for a long time. ​ Whatever your reasons, finding a safe space to talk freely about what is on your mind could be the first step towards feeling brighter and lighter. Whether you have a clear goal in mind of what you want out of therapy or whether you want to give it a try and see where it takes you, I am here to offer you support on that journey.

Are you feeling stressed, lost, confused or anxious? These feelings may be a result of a traumatic event, pressures from work, family difficulties, addictions, obsessions or trauma. With busy lives, responsibilities and often with others depending on us, we often dismiss our feelings or fail to understand why we feel, the way we do. I offer a safe place where we can focus on you and we will work together using a therapeutic model that meets your needs. I can offer flexible appointments that fits in with your schedule and if you work shifts we can offer flexible sessions.

Clients will be able to gain a greater understanding of past events in connection to current days worries, traumas, difficulties and emotional and mental health challenges. Through mapping out the concerns that are troubling you and reflecting upon these difficulties in relation to yourself, your experiences and close relationships, different opportunities for moving forward can become possible. Many of my clients have complex issues, which they have not been able to make sense of, for understandable reasons. This respectful and appreciative space can allow you time to process things, and to re-engage with hope again.

Do you feel like you are going around in circles, struggling to find solutions to recurrent difficulties or unhealthy patterns? Are you struggling to overcome a difficult life event or series of events from your past? Do you feel bogged down by day-to-day stressors, or demands in your work or home life? Do you feel particularly anxious or low in mood? Do you feel misunderstood or frustrated by your circumstances? Do you just want someone to listen to how you feel? Someone who will work with you to support you to understand the difficulties you are having and develop strategies to break free from the weight of any emotional burden?

For some of us life can become challenging and overwhelming, at times we feel completely trapped in a negative cycle unable to see a way forward with little or no support. Do you struggle with things like anxiety, depression, and low self-worth, do you feel hopeless and alone? I offer a warm safe and non-judgemental approach to support you with any issues you may be facing. Working as a Person Centred Therapist I will support you in building an understanding of your own thoughts and feelings empowering you to make the changes you need to find inner peace and happiness.

I work with people who are looking to feel better and find more enjoyment in life. My clients may be experiencing specific difficulties such as stress, depression or anxiety, caused by demands of work, school or university or relationship challenges. Alternatively they may be struggling to make sense of life, looking to find a purpose or create change in one or more areas of their life. Some clients come for counselling as a form of personal or self-development, realising the importance of maintaining their emotional and mental wellbeing in the midst of all the various demands on their time and energy.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I know how hard it can sometimes be admitting that you may need help and getting to that point of reaching out for support.

I’d love to be able to walk beside you on your journey - together we might be able to discover goals for your life and find real meaning and purpose, which sometimes gets lost along the way.

Whether you're seeking support for a particular issue, struggling with a painful event or simply wanting more from life, counselling and psychotherapy can help you gain a deeper awareness and understanding of yourself, your relationships with others and your place in the world. Whatever you're experiencing, the therapeutic relationship nurtures a confidential space where you're truly listened to, and met with a balance of warmth, empathy and respectful challenge. In giving attention to whatever is painful and difficult, it can enable the emergence of a stronger sense of self, and connection with meaning, purpose, potential and hope.

I am a Person-Centered counsellor (Person-center means, client led) who uses CBT and Solution Focused techniques where suitable. My background includes yoga, reiki, meditation, aromatherapy and mindfulness. This means I can offer an holistic approach to the therapeutic work. The relationship between myself and the client (you) is at the heart of ALL therapy. Counselling is about change, and change can be very difficult and scary to do. In fact, sometimes we actually don't know how to do it. With support from myself, we will explore your anxiety, concerns, behavior, beliefs and feelings.
