Anxiety and depression
Anxiety and depression can arise from various causes, many of which I’ve outlined below. My empathetic approach, paired with my training, allows me to create a supportive space where you can begin to heal. I use proven techniques that empower you to work through your challenges and find lasting relief.
Bereavement and loss
I have extensive experience supporting clients through loss – whether that's the death of a loved one or a 'living loss' – such as the end of a relationship, redundancy, age-related changes or when life doesn't turn out as you've hoped. Taking the time to explore these losses and your grief, in a compassionate, non-judgemental space, can be a powerful step towards shaping your future.
Relationship difficulties
Relationship issues can be emotionally challenging, whether you’re coping with a breakup, managing family conflict, or seeking to strengthen an existing relationship. These situations can leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused or disconnected. Together, we can explore the underlying issues and support you in healing, finding closure, or building healthier, more fulfilling connections.
Low self-esteem and confidence
Low self-esteem and lack of confidence can hold you back, affecting how you view yourself and approach life. These feelings often stem from past experiences or negative self-talk. Together, we can tackle the root causes and help you build confidence and self-worth.
Life changes and transitions
Life is full of changes, whether it’s a new job, moving to a new place, the arrival of a child, or a major shift in personal circumstances. Even positive transitions can bring uncertainty, stress, and a sense of loss. It’s natural to feel unsettled during these times, and having support can make all the difference. Together, we can explore these changes and help you find your way through them, embracing new opportunities with confidence and clarity.
Negative cycles, overthinking and worrying
Endlessly spiralling through negative thoughts can leave you feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Overthinking and constant worrying often reinforce feelings of doubt and anxiety, making it harder to break free. Together, we can identify the patterns that keep you trapped, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and develop healthier ways of thinking that bring calm and allow you to move forward with confidence.
