Psychotherapy & Counselling for adults, young people and families
Are you an adult struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, or issues around identity or self-confidence? If so, I can offer you a warm and supportive space where we can work together to increase awareness and address any emotional distress you may be experiencing.
If you are a young person, I can help you to make sense of some of the unwanted thoughts and feelings that may be troubling you.
If you are a family that need help to make some changes to the way you are relating, we can work together to think about how the family system can support each of you without anyone feeling like they are the problem.
Individual Therapy
A happier, healthier you. We rarely have control over things that happen in our lives. We can, however, control how we make sense of them and how we respond to them. Through sensitive discussion and 'reframing', I can help you make new meanings of difficult events, people or circumstances in your life; past, present and future. Whether it is bereavement, dealing with an illness, anxiety, depression, addiction or any other predicament, I will provide a space full of understanding and healing.
Family Therapy
The space in between. Sometimes, being part of a family can be the best and worst thing at the same time. Problems can sometimes lead to blame and shame. My family sessions follow a Systemic model where problems are seen as intruders in the family. How are we going to rally together to deal with the intruder?
