Elaine Blewett

Are you finding it hard to cope at the moment, dealing with a crisis or significant change? Are you struggling to concentrate, feel tense and on edge? Maybe you feel disconnected from others and your relationships are suffering? Or are you an adult or teen experiencing anxiety or depression?

Perhaps you feel stuck and want to change your situation. Gaining insight into what may be driving the behaviours/patterns that are causing the problems in your life, will provide you with an opportunity to shift your mindset to live a more balanced life and improve the quality of your relationships. Learning more about yourself will give you a deeper sense of self-awareness, allowing you to move forward with clarity and understanding.

I know life can be really difficult at times and I understand reaching out for support can be daunting. By considering counselling you've taken the first step towards change. Therapy can be hard at the start, messy in the middle and beautiful at the end, helping you to to think clearer and put positive coping mechanisms in place.

Having worked in many different settings I have gained a depth of professional and life experience as well as non-judgemental acceptance of diversity and difference. If you feel misunderstood, confused or distressed, I offer a confidential and safe space to work collaboratively with you to find opportunities for improved ways of coping and ways to reduce stress.

As well as my private practice I have many years experience working with young people and adults in various settings, including counselling experience in a women's centre, a university and a school for specific needs. I have experience of working with adults and teens experiencing low mood and depression; panic and anxiety; low self-esteem; grief and loss; relational difficulties; ADS, ADHD and OCD. 

If you are looking for yourself or a teenager it is important I am the right therapist for you without worrying about the expense. So, I would like to invite you to get in touch and arrange a free 20-minute phone/video call to get to introduce ourselves, briefly explain what is bringing you to therapy and answer any questions you may have, as well as finding out if you feel comfortable working with me. 

I offer open-ended, short and long-term therapy, which you decide based on your needs, and we can review on a regular basis.
