Living with anxiety can feel overwhelming, making the simplest tasks seem difficult to manage. There are practical tools and strategies to help you understand and take control of your anxiety. I use evidence-based approaches, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), to help identify and challenge the unhelpful or negative thought patterns contributing to your anxiety. Relaxation techniques, coping strategies, and problem-solving skills will enable you to address the root causes of your anxiety and respond to stressors in healthier ways. You will build confidence in managing anxiety and experience a greater sense of calm in your day-to-day life.

Therapeutic coaching helps you create a balanced, fulfilling life that aligns with your core values. By exploring what truly matters to you, coaching enhances your sense of wellbeing, supporting you in overcoming challenges and developing healthy habits. It’s not just about setting goals—it’s about creating lasting, meaningful changes that reflect your true desires. We’ll work together to address any limiting beliefs and improve your self-care practices, empowering you to live a life that promotes both physical and mental wellbeing. Coaching provides the tools and support to help you confidently move forward, making positive changes that last.

Depression can feel overwhelming, leaving you stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and emotions. We will work to uncover the underlying issues contributing to your depression and develop healthy coping strategies that can lead to a more positive outlook on life. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques can be helpful to identify and change negative thought patterns that fuel depression. Addressing relationship issues and improving social support can have a key role in relieving depressive symptoms. We'll focus on practical steps to enhance your connections and create a supportive environment, leading to lasting change and emotional well-being.

Grief and bereavement are normal, but they can also feel isolating and confusing, especially when each loss experienced doesn’t follow a set timeline. Grief is a deeply individual journey, and there’s no right or wrong way to feel. You may experience a range of emotions, such as sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion. Counselling provides a safe, supportive space where you can explore these feelings at your own pace, without judgment. Your loss is unique to you, and together we’ll work on processing it in a way that honours your personal experience. Through counselling, we’ll help you rebuild healthy coping mechanisms to support your healing, whenever you're ready.

Panic attacks can be incredibly intense and leave you feeling trapped, like there's no way to escape the fear and discomfort. Counselling can be highly effective in helping you manage and reduce these attacks. Together, we’ll explore what triggers them and learn to recognise early signs so that you can intervene to reduce and manage the symptoms before they escalate. We’ll identify practical coping strategies, such as breathing techniques or grounding exercises, that will help you feel more in control when panic strikes. The goal is to support you in feeling calmer and more confident in your daily life, with fewer and less intense panic attacks over time.

Pregnancy loss and birth trauma can be incredibly isolating, and lead to emotions like anxiety, guilt, anger, and sadness. These feelings can be hard to navigate and it’s okay to seek help. In a safe, non-judgemental space, whether online or in-person, I will work with you as you process what you’re going through, at your own pace. In our sessions, we’ll work together to explore these difficult emotions, helping you to understand and make sense of them. My goal is to support you in finding a path towards healing, one step at a time. Counselling can provide the emotional support to restore hope and improve your emotional health during this challenging time.

Experiencing trauma, whether from events like abuse, assault, accidents, or other life-altering situations, can leave you feeling consumed by symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, and hypervigilance. As a trauma specialist (CCTP), I use a trauma-informed approach to support and empower you to regain a sense of control in your life. Together, we’ll work to reduce the impact of these symptoms and help you move forward. Through counselling, you can build resilience, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and cultivate self-compassion. This journey can lead to personal transformation and growth, allowing you to heal in your own time and on your own terms.

Shame, whether rooted in negative or abusive past experiences, self-perceptions, or societal pressures, can deeply affect your sense of self and esteem. Counselling can help you explore and reassess beliefs, resolve inner conflicts, and develop a healthier, more positive sense of identity. Through this process, you can begin to rebuild your self-worth and let go of the heavy burden that shame brings. Working on your core values and understanding personal boundaries are key steps in overcoming the negative and debilitating aspects of shame. Together, we’ll work to strengthen your self-acceptance and help you live in a way that aligns with who you truly are.

Spirituality, whether rooted in faith or not, can be a deeply personal and meaningful part of who we are. Struggles in this area can leave us feeling conflicted or lost. Exploring your beliefs, clarifying values, and resolving inner conflicts will help you find peace and fulfilment. Counselling offers the opportunity to work through the challenges and gain a clearer understanding of your spiritual journey. If you’ve experienced spiritual abuse, healing is possible through processing the trauma, rebuilding trust in your beliefs, and/or redefining them in a way that feels authentic to you. Together, we’ll work on empowering you on a path of healing and growth.
