Many of us experience times in our life when we are unhappy, anxious or feel overwhelmed by events and when this happens talking about it in confidence, to the “right” person for you, can be a great help. Unfortunately it isn’t always possible to discuss our difficulties with family or friends but finding someone to share our problems with, who understands, is supportive and non-judgemental, can help provide a sense of stability to get through difficult times.

Relationships between people form the basis of our daily lives. We require this contact with others, the sense of respect and value it produces and the needs it fulfils, yet forming and maintaining these essential relationships is often difficult. When our relational needs are not satisfied we can experience feelings of emptiness, loneliness, longing, and intense urges often accompanied by nervousness. These difficult feelings can become overwhelming and lead to anxiety, panic attacks, social phobias, addiction and depression.

As a Counsellor I am committed to providing a professional, confidential and safe space, where we can talk over your problems in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. We are all unique individuals and I can use different approaches depending on what is most helpful to you. I believe that expanding awareness and understanding of your thoughts, emotions and behaviours and how they are connected, can be helpful. So whether you want to ‘just talk’ to someone who cares and can listen, or examine your problems in detail, my hope is that we can work together to discover your own solutions.
