If you’re reading this, you may be feeling unhappy on your own, or wanting your relationship to be different. You may be in a couple, wondering if you can rediscover the relationship you once had with your partner, or to find a different way forward. You may be an individual, trying to cope with the loss of a relationship, or wanting to be able to find lasting love. Perhaps there are relationships with your children or wider family, with friends or people at work that upset you; or you are unhappy with your own behaviour. If you long for a healthy relationship that doesn’t leave you feeling hurt, you are not alone.

This can lead to intense emotions which may be impacting you in the present or even your life choices. Environment or external factors may have placed you in unsafe situations that may not have been in your control. However the effect of this may remain with you, making life feel heavy and difficult to carry. This could be influencing your daily life be it work, relationships or your own sense of self.

I am interested in why you are seeking counselling; you may wish to describe any previous experiences of counselling you have had. You may wish to express what you feel your current support systems include- such as family and friends- and think about what you would like to achieve through therapy. If we decide to work together, we can agree a mutually convenient way to engage. I view entering into a therapeutic relationship as an act of bravery and a leap of faith. Building trust in our relationship is a journey I never underestimate and a privilege that I never take for granted.

In this fast moving, ever-changing and demanding world it can feel difficult to keep your head above water. No matter how hard you try you don't seem to be able to stay afloat. It's hard to know what to do, where to go or who to turn to during these times, and are often left feeling lost and alone. You may even understand whats troubling you but are no closer to a resolve and if anything it just makes it all more challenging. Therapy is a space in which you can explore all of these things safely and with compassionate support to help you find peace and bring some balance to your life.

Taking the first step to seeing a Counsellor can feel really hard. Perhaps you are wondering how it could help, feeling like maybe your problems don’t qualify, or maybe they feel so big that you don’t know where to start. Have you have been trying to talk to friends or family about it but feel like they are not really listening? Or do people just want to give you advice? Being truly listened to can make the world of difference; being really heard. I know from experience that this can give us the courage to work through the things we haven’t been able to face on our own.
