Discover healing and empowerment through compassionate counselling
Counselling serves as a powerful avenue for uncovering your own insights and solutions to the challenges you face. The emotional pain can often feel as overwhelming as physical discomfort, and having a compassionate counsellor by your side can significantly ease this burden. My practice is built on a foundation of kindness, authenticity, and understanding. This approach allows us to build a therapeutic relationship from which healing and resolution can emerge. Together, we can explore the beliefs and expectations you hold, many of which may have been formed during your formative years and may no longer serve you well.
Overcome shame and addiction, find peace after loss, and understand anxiety
I have extensive experience working with clients facing a variety of challenges, including shame, bereavement, anxiety, and feelings of incongruence. Shame can be a deeply rooted emotion that often fuels addiction. It affects self-esteem and relationships, and together, we can untangle its complexities, allowing you to reclaim your sense of self-worth. Bereavement can leave a profound impact, and I offer a supportive space for you to process your grief and honouring your unique experience.
Anxiety can manifest in many forms, influencing daily life and decision-making. I help you understand the sources of your anxiety, develop coping strategies, and cultivate a sense of peace. Additionally, if you are experiencing incongruence—where your internal experience does not align with your external reality—our work together can help you explore this dissonance, fostering a stronger connection to your true self.
Specialised support for Boarding School Survivors
I also have specific experience in working with boarding school survivors, many of us carry deep emotional scars from our experiences. The feelings of abandonment, isolation, and unresolved trauma can linger long after leaving school, influencing relationships and self-perception in adulthood. In our sessions, we can explore how these experiences have shaped your identity and emotional well-being, allowing you to process and heal from the past.
Embrace your true self and build resilience
Counselling provides a vital space for you to come to terms with your differences and learn to embrace them as integral parts of who you are. As you navigate the complexities of your background and experiences, we will work together to foster self-acceptance and resilience.
During our initial session, we will discuss what has brought you to counselling and outline your goals for our work together. Typically, I recommend a series of 50-minute sessions, starting with an initial commitment of six weeks to assess our progress and review our direction.
