A few reasons you might be here right now...
Life sometimes, throws events, situations and circumstances at us that 90% of the time we have no control over.
These events, past or present, can catch us off guard and if we don’t learn or don’t know how to deal with them better, we can lose being our best self.
Here are the main reasons why my clients come to see me…
- Mental health conditions like anxiety, panic attacks, depression (mild to moderate), or self-harm
- Difficult life event such as bereavement, work-related stress or a relationship breakdown
- Struggling with difficult emotions, like low self-esteem, self-confidence, guilt or anger
- An upsetting physical health condition such as obesity or infertility which is subsequently causing them to experience one of the above
A few reasons why you might want to consider seeing me as your empowering therapist
I passionately believe that everyone should seek help if they are experiencing something that is prolonged enough to interrupt their balance, happiness and harmony in life, at home or at work.
I believe this because..
- Friends and family can’t always be your only outlet or source of help
- Self care – care should always start with you
- Realise alternative perspectives – to gain new ways of looking at what’s happening – both internally and externally – usually requires somebody who is not emotionally attached
- Discover new coping strategies – we can’t stop life from throwing difficult events or situations at us – but we can learn how to cope with them better when they do arise
New Service: Walk & Talk Therapy
Our body and mind are connected. Sometimes and in some circumstances, the best way to express feelings and thoughts is when the mind and body are both being stimulated.
A gentle walk in a tranquil and beautiful natural setting can be an ideal space to allow those thoughts and feelings to flow.
