Counselling Services

You don't need to have the words, or know exactly what's wrong, to begin. Sometimes the first step is simply saying it out loud.

Areas of support

You may know exactly what is troubling you, or simply that something doesn't feel right. These are some of the things we can explore together.

Anxiety, overthinking or low mood

Racing thoughts, constant worry, trouble switching off, or a low mood that has quietly taken the colour out of life.

Relationships and communication

Difficulty with a partner, family member or friend, conversations that keep going wrong or patterns that keep repeating.

Life changes and identity

Redundancy, retirement, menopause, divorce or an empty nest; changes that have unsettled your sense of who you are.

Stress, overwhelm and burnout

Prolonged pressure, exhaustion, and the feeling that coping is costing you too much. Common in people others rely on.

Self-worth, confidence and boundaries

Self-criticism, people-pleasing and difficulty saying 'no'. Appearing capable while quietly doubting yourself.

Grief, loss and serious illness

Bereavement, anticipatory grief, diagnosis and caring, and losses others may not recognise. There is no timetable for grief.

Make a start, get in touch

Taking the first step can feel difficult. You do not need to have everything worked out or know exactly what to say. A short message is enough to begin.

I will respond personally within 24 hours. There is no pressure to book counselling after the initial conversation.
