Counselling and Psychotherapy

I work with people who realise the value of exploring their world further to support different levels of change in life, to understand their world of relationships and feel they have power and agency to influence.

Counselling: is about helping people with personal challenges and looking for better ways of living their lives and relationships.

Psychotherapy: is about helping people who want to explore more deeply about themselves, relationships, work etc… possibly prompted by internal and external factors.

Sometimes there is ‘unfinished business’ from the past that now affects life in the present. Feelings including guilt, shame, anger, fury, sadness might emerge that have no reference to present life circumstances, and yet may root back to the past. For me, this is a potential call for action and opportunity to find resolution for what might be past trauma, unprocessed grieving or simply to explore one’s meaning and purpose in life.

Loss and grief can present in all sorts of ways and prompt the need for help:

• Dealing with grief, loss and bereavement
  • changes due to illness
  • dying and death
• Women in menopause
  • Relationship and emotional challenges; power imbalance, confusion and turbulence
  • Injustices and unfairness: through gender, identity, social class
  • Spirituality
• Trauma that resurfaces later in life including:
  • Difficult early life/childhood with mother and impact on adult life now
  • Childhood abuse
  • PTSD and c-PTSD – veterans | early life | accident
• Loss of health and independence
  • Living with sensory impairment and loss – including blindness, deafness and deafblindness
  • Living with chronic health conditions including diabetes, heart conditions, cancer, cystic fibrosis etc.
• Loss of Identity
  • Redundancy
  • Retirement
  • Health
