You may have recently entered into a new relationship or had a significant change in your life and suddenly feel overcome with strong emotions. Or you may be feeling unable to feel anything, which is impacting your ability to enjoy life. You might find that anxious thoughts are getting in the way, that your sleep is poor and you are less able to cope with stress. I want to support you to overcome your symptoms and experiences to lead a better life. I will help you by tracing the origins of your feelings to help you overcome them for good rather than just giving you tips and tricks. But don't worry, there will also be tips and tricks

Your mental health is as important and unique as your physical health. The two are closely connected, with each often influencing the other. Life is full of challenges that can sometimes feel overwhelming, and seeking extra support to navigate through them is completely okay. Counselling is a space where you can open up about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.
