About Me
Approach
I offer online video sessions to help you recover from depression, fear and anxiety through motivation & perspective, thus finding the joy that you once had in your life.
My experience enables me to offer effective individualised care. Through Counselling I can treat a number of mental health disorders and provide a non-judgemental and neutral ground for all my Clients.
My focus is to help individuals heal, energise, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral, safe space, listening to your concerns and customising our work to suit individual needs.
Anxiety, fear & hopelessness are some emotions that can linger after traumatic events, again I can help you overcome these symptoms. I can also offer the "Rewind & Re-framing Technique" for PTSD and phobias.
Loss of a loved one or the diagnosis of a life limiting condition is a devastating event & the pain of this sometimes unbearable. Feelings of guilt, anger & grief can become apparent & each individual responds differently. I am here to help you through your concerns of the future. This area is a particular specialism for me as I have trained at my local Hospice to support end-of-life patients and bereaved family members. I have counselled clients with terminal illness and those going through treatment.
Issues I can cover include: Abuse, Anger Management, Anxiety, Bereavement, Cancer, Depression, Loneliness, Low Self Esteem/Confidence, OCD, PTSD, Relationship Problems, Self Harm, Stress, Suicidal Thoughts and Trauma.
Ask a quick question or arrange a time to meet.
