Specialising in Counselling for Self-Esteem, Loss,
Anxiety, & Relationship Issues
Self-Esteem & Anxiety
Low self-esteem, a sense of unworthiness or of not ever being good enough, can cause feelings of anxiety, low-mood or lack of confidence. It is often a cause of social anxiety and affects our personal relationships and ability to feel loved. In your counselling sessions with us you will explore the sources of these feelings and work on developing a greater sense of self-acceptance, self-belief and self-worth.
Life Stages & Transitions
Whatever your age, significant birthdays, life changes and the ageing process can be a cause of anxiety, low mood and self-doubt. Changes in our health, bodies and physical appearance are difficult to accept. We can become preoccupied with mortality. Empty nest syndrome, job loss and retirement may undermine our identity and purpose. We are very experienced in helping people navigate these challenges.
Bereavement
& Grief
When someone dies feelings of grief can be completely overwhelming. It is one of the most devastating experiences we ever face. Often we go through this experience alone, as others move on with their lives. We will provide a safe, non-judgemental space to discuss these very difficult emotions openly and honestly, allowing you time to work through your grief and gradually adjust to your painful loss.
All Forms of
Loss
Loss can be triggered by many of life’s challenges. Examples include: loss of a relationship through break-up, divorce or family change; loss of purpose through retirement or redundancy; loss of identity due to the ageing process or health problems. We can help you to navigate these difficult cross-roads in your life-journey.
Relationship &
Couple Issues
We work with individuals and couples experiencing relationship problems. You may be looking to improve your partnership, navigate your way through a break-up, or deal with the the emotional fall-out from a relationship which has just ended. In all these situations counselling can help you manage your emotions and move forward.
Anxiety, Panic
& Stress
Anxiety, fear and panic can wreck our ability to enjoy life and wear us down both mentally and physically. Long-term stress can undermine our well-being, We will help you to develop coping strategies, understand the causes of worry and deal with the underlying emotions more effectively, reducing feelings associated with anxiety and stress.
