New skills to bring about change

About Counselling and Psychotherapy

It is often said that admitting there is a problem is the first step towards it's resolution. The advantage of seeking a counsellor or psychotherapist is not to be given advice but to understand the situation in a profound way and talk through alternative ways of dealing with it. A therapy session offers the space to explore the choices available.

The sessions are geared to your needs and at your pace. Learning skills to manage our emotions and reactions can bring about positive change and change our lives.

Individual Counselling

At some stages in our lives a lot of people are affected by depression, anxiety, or stress, these can occur after a traumatic event or be a build up of old feelings.

Therapy and counselling make change possible. Grief, fear anger, guilt or sadness are feelings that take a toll on our health, both mental and physical, so seeking counselling is often a way to a clearer path.

I am interested in working with those with addictions or coping with someone close to you affected by addiction.

Relationship Counselling

Sometimes relationships start to feel stale or fractured. "We were so close, but I don't know what is going on now."

Occasionally the trust has been broken and I would aim to teach new skills to communicate and heal that rift. Seeking counselling is a way of restoring the relationship rather than ignoring the issue and hoping it will go away.

Alternately. a decision may have been made to part, so formulating a plan and how to enact that.
