I counsel adult clients of differing ages, class and cultural backgrounds, identities and sexualities and work with a wide range of experiences, including:

• Anxiety, overwhelming feelings and panic attacks.

• Low self-esteem and confidence.

• Depression and feelings of helplessness.

• Stress.

• Surviving and/or living with emotionally abusive dynamics within families.

• Personal and identity crises.

• Relationship difficulties, including breakdowns.

• Loss and bereavement.

• Work related issues including pressure to perform and bullying.

• Lack of direction or meaning in life.

• Need for self-exploration and self-discovery.

To give you more of a sense of the kind of experiences that counselling with me could help you with, I have extensive experience counselling individuals:

• suffering from a loss of any kind, including a person, a job, a relationship, a way of life or a way of seeing themselves.

• experiencing being an outsider to their family/another group and not belonging e.g. socially, culturally, racially, ethnically, physically.

• struggling with family entanglements and crises, such as an unwell family member.

• suffering from abuse within families, including complex twisted dynamics with parents/primary caregivers/wider family system.

• working in high pressured, demanding environments.

• struggling with career dissatisfaction and uncertainty as to whether to stay or change professions.

• experiencing existential crises, such as a sense of lostness, not knowing who they really are and/or what is the meaning and purpose of life.

• finding themselves at ‘crossroads’ and not knowing what direction to take.

• who have ‘achieved’ or have what they believed would bring fulfilment, such as a job, relationship, good health or financial stability, only to find that something is still lacking in their lives.
