Paula Ryans

I can offer sessions on 

Mondays and Thursdays 

Are you struggling with your emotions following a change or loss?

Do you feel stuck, lost or overwhelmed?

Do you find it hard to talk to people about how you feel?

Therapy can help with a wide range of personal and emotional issues that we face.  Common themes that come up in sessions are work stress, anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. These types of issues can be hard to talk about, even with people in our lives, and can leave us feeling isolated and alone.  If you are feeling this way, I offer a safe, non-judgmental place for you to talk so you can begin to open up and get relief from what is causing you distress.  

My approach is client led and I will listen with empathy and compassion as you untangle your thoughts and feelings and discover what is important to you. This may mean looking at events that have happened to you or the relationships in your life, both with yourself and other people. I can help you to understand how you got to where you are, and if you choose to, support you to make changes and move forward with your life.

I work with clients 18+ 

By the end of your first session, you will know how I work so you can decide if this is right for you.  It is an opportunity for you to talk about your life and I will ask some questions about how you have been feeling.  The first session will help you to clarify your issues and what you would like to get out of counselling.
