Counselling in D13
We all want to feel empowered to live our best life. The problem for most of us is that we don't know how and end up feeling depressed, anxious, frustrated or stuck – and we usually turn to food, alcohol, drugs or other behaviours to help us feel better. If this seems familiar, I can help YOU take back control of YOUR life. Working integratively I include all of the elements that make up your whole person including conscious thoughts, unconscious senses, behaviours, somatic sensations and systemic influences. Contacting me is the first step towards YOU becoming empowered to create YOUR best life!

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to understand your own story. You have a right to have a meaningful life that makes you feel happy every day. It’s hard to put yourself first sometimes. So much of your time is taken up with worry and sadness it can be hard to focus on anything but just existing. Your here now which means you can choose you this time, to share and understand your story and in time, start living again and feeling happier.

Troubled, conflicted, anxious or distressed? Struggling with loss or identity issues? Feel a relationship is in difficulty or things are not going well at home, work or college? Perhaps you are struggling to cope after receiving a medical diagnosis or wondering why you became ill in the first place? Going to therapy allows you to talk about what you are experiencing, explore reasons, develop solutions and help you attain a stronger, more fulfilled and creative self. An important part is sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship with a specially trained therapist.

I see you. I see your sense of justice, your creative energy, and connection to the world. Despite your strengths and success, you feel like you don’t belong. Have you noticed that you struggle to ask for help? Or are plagued by a deep sense that there is something wrong with you? Does this sense of not belonging, cause you to search for that in a label? You may notice that you are very hard on yourself, perhaps that's what brought you here. Our work is to heal the disconnection from self, to build resilience and develop strength from the challenges you face.
