As human beings we all experience times when life feels emotionally overwhelming. Reasons for this might include; relationship difficulties, friendship issues, parenting challenges, bereavement, feelings of loss, family feuds, work related issues, financial worries, illness, or unresolved emotional trauma from the near or distant past. Sometimes there does not appear to be a reason at all just an acknowledgement that life feels difficult, maybe unbearable. Feelings such as depression, anxiety, apathy, anger, loneliness, isolation and stress can lead to other feelings of low self-confidence, low self-esteem, ‘not fitting in’, ‘feeling stuck’, ‘feeling misunderstood’ and ‘feeling unable to cope’, stopping you from moving forward with your life in a positive way.
Counselling: Emotional Therapeutic Counselling is a person-centred, interactive and holistic approach to counselling. During our sessions you will be listened to and helped to explore painful feelings and emotions in a gentle and appropriate way, at your own pace. This will enable you to unravel and make sense of past or present events and the feelings and emotions connected with them, and help you to develop strategies to make the changes you need to make, leading you to a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life.
Coaching: As a Coach my approach is again person-centred, interactive and holistic. I believe that you already know, perhaps on a sub-conscious level, the solutions to your perceived problems. My role is to 'help you think better' enabling you to recognise and find a way to resolve or navigate your blocks and to enable you to make decisions and choices that are right for you. This can be an exciting and enlightening journey of discovery, realisation and inspiration, leading you to a place of clarity, renewed motivation and wellness.
