Hi, I’m Lois.

Perhaps you’re struggling to sleep because the thought of tomorrow is filling you with anxiety. Maybe relationships with loved ones are suffering because of the pressure that you’re under. Perhaps you’re facing a difficult decision and well-meaning friends are offering advice that is confusing you even more.

Maybe you’re feeling numb, as though life has no meaning, or perhaps you’re self-harming, thinking about death a lot, or feeling suicidal. It might be that you’re struggling to come to terms with a bereavement, and aren’t sure who to talk to. Maybe your anger is beginning to feel out of control, or possibly you just want someone to really listen when you talk. These are just a few of the many reasons that people come for counselling.

These days, counselling isn’t just for people with diagnosed mental health conditions, it’s for everyone. Some people come for counselling when nothing is wrong as such, but because they don't feel quite right either. I want to offer you a safe, confidential space where you can say anything, in the knowledge that you aren’t being judged.

I know that booking a first session is daunting, but you’ve read my profile so you’ve already taken the first step. All counsellors attend counselling when in training, so I have been there myself, and remember the anxious feelings well. I therefore hope to be able to put you at ease as soon as we make contact. So, if you're ready to get in touch, I look forward to hearing from you. For more information, or to book, you can either call, text or email, whatever you feel most comfortable with.
