I am an integrative counsellor with over 10 years post qualification experience. Area's I work in include

 

Self value and image, Do you struggle with body image? or feeling you have to look  a certain way to fit in or be accepted? Do you wish you had more confidence or/and have more self respect? Do you feel that everything is out of control or falling apart? That you need to protect yourself and push everyone away so they can't hurt you? That potentially good things are being destroyed?

I can help you explore, name and understand the multitude of feelings and together we can determine where this has originated. We can challenge those beliefs, learning self love and value. Bringing acceptance of self which, changes the way we interact with others and their responses to us.

​

 

Relationship difficulties including feeling alone within the relationship, communication difficulties and infidelity. Feelings of being taken for granted and having to many expectations on us, exhaustion, frustration and things feeling broken.

Do you have fear of loosing yourself, and not knowing who you are outside your relationships and others needs.

I can help you explore what you are and are not responsible for, how to use language that doesn't set off defensive language and behaviour, we can look at activities that help you rediscover a sense of self and value. bringing a new found confidence and feeling happier within the relationship and an awareness of the choices you have.

​

Loss and grief, including miscarriage, infertility, and diagnosis of terminal illnesses. Plus the multitude of emotions experienced through this, like fear, doubt, anxiety. Feeling that you are lost and overwhelmed, not sure how you can carry on, frustrations of what has been lost or could have been. 

Have you heard the phrase it will be better in time? - but it's not better in time. the pain doesn't diminish the hole is never filled, but you do grow and make new connections and the hole appears to be smaller because you have grown. I can help you process these feelings and explore your responses, along with working with you to create new goals and a new future

​

I create a space where you can feel safe, where you are seen and heard. You are always in control of what is discussed and explored, I am hear to walk the journey with you and hold you throughout the time we work together.

This ensures your reach your goals while feeling safe, and able to talk and understand how you have reached your current situation, while learning how to move forward.

 

I am based in Bristol, but see clients all over the country by video calls.
