About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I’m Gillian - welcome to my profile.
At times in life moving forward or even coping with your situation can feel very difficult or overwhelming. You might be struggling with anxiety or depression, family or relationship problems. Or perhaps you are experiencing loss, bereavement, uncertainty, rejection, unwelcome change or other stresses. At these times counselling can help by giving you a safe, confidential space in which you can talk about, look at and begin to resolve or better manage the issues that are troubling you.
As your Counsellor I will be a supportive, non-judgemental and understanding companion as we explore your difficulties together and you find ways to move forward or cope better in your life.
Some of the issues I can help with include: anxiety, bereavement, carer stress, depression, disordered eating, family issues, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, low self-confidence, relationship problems, self esteem, self-harm, sexuality / sexual identity, stress, suicidal thoughts, work-related issues.
I have special interests in bereavement, loss and grief, working with carers and disordered eating including Bulimia and compulsive eating.
In our sessions I will hope to provide a space, time and a relationship that you can use to explore what is troubling you and feel deeply listened to, heard and understood. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and so you will be the one to determine what we talk about and the pace we go at.
