Counselling

Counselling is a talking therapy that aims to relieve distress – heal emotional wounds, resolve inner conflicts, change unhelpful habits of thoughts and behaviours, fashion new narratives thus relieving any psychological or physical pain.

Typical issues I have counselled:

Anxiety / Social Anxiety / Phobias
Depression / Post Natal Depression
Self esteem issues
Loneliness and isolation
Guilt / Shame
Domestic and coercive abuse
Relationship issues
Family Issues
Divorce
Bereavement
Terminal Illness
Trauma / Birth Trauma
Adverse Childhood Experiences
