So, can talking to someone help? ABSOLUTELY! Regardless of the reason, you might keep it in, talking has powerful psychological benefits that might not be obvious. Life can throw up many challenges and I am able to offer a safe, supportive, confidential environment for adults and young people to talk through and try and make sense of what they are finding difficult.

Sometimes, we can struggle to find the words to share our internal world or communicate our feelings. Using creative tools together can be useful to help identify and process what is happening.

What I offer as a counsellor is an opportunity to explore aspects of your personal life and to help with emotional difficulties that you may feel unable to share with friends or family. Working collaboratively will enable you to pursue significant life enhancing change and to rectify unhelpful patterns of living and relating. Feeling understood with empathy and care can often help you to access inner resources to cope with the demands and challenges of life.
