Are you going through a tough time just now?

Feeling overwhelmed? Or stuck? Or hurt? Or lost?

Maybe you’re searching for a deeper sense of meaning or purpose in your life?

Or maybe you’re close to losing hope – wondering if things will always be like this. It can seem hard to know where to turn next…

Therapy is about finding your way again.

It’s about healing.
Uncovering the answers you already hold inside you.
And respecting the value of your life.

With counselling and psychotherapy, we can draw upon the things that really matter to you in your life, and use them to navigate by.

We can unearth the strengths that have sustained you, and build on them.

In a space of safety and growth, you can begin to restore yourself and gather your resources for the journey ahead.

And then, one stepping-stone at a time, you can walk towards a life of meaning and purpose.

You’ve already taken the first step by deciding you want something to change. 
That’s often the hardest step.

If you’re ready to take the next step out of pain and into a richer life,  contact me.

And discover how counselling and psychotherapy can make a real difference in your life.

    Counselling and psychotherapy for your life

    Life can get complex or tough sometimes. But in your unique life, with its unique circumstances, it’s probably going to be challenging in a very unique way. That’s why I work with a range of issues, and tailor the therapy to suit your life by using a mix of therapeutic modalities, depending on what’s most useful to you.

    Some of these areas might include: anger management, anxiety, bereavement counselling, cancer counselling, being a carer, making important decisions about your life, living with chronic or terminal illness, depression, learning more about who you are and what you want in life, living mindfully with death and existential issues, living with loss, family systems counselling, gambling issues, grief counselling, issues around identity, mindfulness, pain management (both physical and emotional pain), personal growth, relationship counselling, self-esteem building, stress reduction, overcoming suicidal thoughts, and managing transitions in your life.
