Do you think you are either "not enough" or "too much" for the people around you. Perhaps you feel guilty and think "it's all my fault" - that there's something wrong with you. Maybe you're experiencing anxiety and stress as you try to please people.
Without even realising, you're probably telling yourself how bad you are. Counselling with me will unlock different thoughts so that you can lead a happier life and have better relationships.
Counselling for my clients has helped to unlock feelings and thoughts, by exploring what is said and reflecting on things felt. They feel understood, relieved, and heard 'they have a voice again.' You do the work and benefit from the result, the session is aimed around your needs and end goals.
About me;
I am a firm believer in 'there is no such thing as normal' so I wanted to be honest and tell you a bit about me and what made me become a counsellor and seek my own counselling.
Being a parent of a child with multiple complex mental health disorders was tiring, frustrating and lonely as I seemed to be on my own, at times I was expected to know more than the specialists. This in itself was overwhelming without managing my daily life.
My child is the reason I got into Counselling as watching someone I care deeply about from a child to an adult, feel continuously let down and judged over their mental health and just another statistic or diagnosis. I wanted to be that someone for the parents going through this, so they did not feel alone.
Having two children leave home feeling that 'empty nest' and menopause at the same time was challenging and emotional. My close relationships with loved ones and friends were affected I lost myself and my confidence, but I learnt to manage and put things in place to balance out my life and have a healthier and happier emotional state.
I am passionate about what I do, I see my clients finish Counselling with a positive way of thinking and behaviours and coping techniques for the future.
