Are you struggling with everyday life at the moment, or are you not feeling yourself? Do you have lots of thoughts going round your head and you don’t know what to do about them? Taking some time out to talk to an experienced therapist can really help. Together we can explore your feelings and worries, better understand where they come from and also figure out what changes you could make to help you feel happier. I aim to listen and be truly alongside you throughout the sessions as you talk about anything that you want to bring – be it experiences from the past, things that are happening now, or concerns for the future.

Are you overwhelmed with events, feelings or relationships? Have you reached the point where you just need some support? You might be struggling with your past, with relationships, a bereavement or feeling a pressure to be something you're not. Many of my clients have had early life experiences that are really difficult to bear, contributing to anxiety, depression or both. They are coping, and surviving, but maybe in ways that they don't want to do any more.

There are many different reasons why you might be thinking about starting therapy. You might be feeling out of sorts, out of sync or not quite yourself. You might need support as you move through a difficult phase or transition in your life. You may recognise the need to explore and process some parts of your past. From anxiety or depression to stress management and relationship difficulties – the list goes on. Therapy has the potential to help everyone differently. If you'd like to know more about me or how I practice then visit my website: www.lyonstherapy.co.uk.

My journey to becoming a counsellor started years ago when I personally experienced positive changes in myself through sharing openly with a person who listened without judgement. I then started my training to become a counsellor in my own right so I could ensure that others would experience the benefits of being seen and heard for who they truly are.

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.

Is there a sense that life just doesn't feel quite right in some way. Do you feel that you are going through the motions and nothing seems to change. Are you struggling with relationships, work or a recent event or crises that has knocked you back. Perhaps you have experienced a loss whether that be a job, a relationship or loved one through bereavement. Or is the pain of your past feeling very much alive in your day to day life. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stressed or frustrated by your circumstances.

I am trained in a number of approaches but first and foremost I begin with a person centred approach. This means I will listen to you and together we can build a way of working that suits you best - I am here to hear how things are from your point of view. Counselling offers an opportunity to explore what matters at the heart of your life with an experienced professional in a quiet, confidential setting. In a first appointment we can explore together what you're looking for from therapy. We can meet weekly or fortnightly to explore a focused goal or we can just make space to gently explore how you're feeling and see what comes up!

I help those who seek clarity about their situation, through discussion of the challenges. Viewing issues from multiple perspectives, including evidence based models helps you to get things more in perspective, more malleable, and more manageable. I see to your needs & provide resources as you transition, while we face issues together, & grow your capacity to journey beyond me. This may involve an exploration of the past, or practical focus on here & now strategies & approaches, which influence the map of your life journey you are carving.

Are you feeling nervous, anxious or on edge? Are you feeling down, depressed or hopeless? Do you feel stuck chewing over the past or worrying excessively about the future? Maybe you've experienced difficult early life experiences and/or traumas that are holding you back from what you want to be feeling, thinking and doing in the here and now. Maybe you can't quite put your finger on exactly what's happening for you, it might be hard to put into words but know you don't feel so 'okay' at the moment. Or you might have a very clear idea of what the issue is but need a little help navigating through it. This is where I can help.
