Kelly Weaver

Do you find yourself having low self-worth and confidence issues, are you experiencing feelings that are overwhelming and difficult to deal with? Perhaps you have difficulties within your relationships, including separation and divorce. Are family or work relationships challenging and perhaps you find yourself becoming angry, easily overwhelmed, or feeling powerless, shut down, anxious, and or depressed? Maybe you are struggling with change and the uncertainty that brings. The impact of relationship difficulties can feel enormous and may affect all areas of our lives. The world can feel like a stressful place and trying to balance our work and personal life can leave us feeling emotionally, mentally, and physically drained. 

I understand that thinking about starting therapy can at first feel scary, especially if you have never experienced it before, but, having a private space where you can focus on yourself and work through your difficulties can be a relief.  

I believe under the right conditions i.e., when we feel accepted and met with care, and support, we have a tendency to move towards what we need in life. Many of us early in life learn that some of our feelings and needs were not accepted by others leading to us finding it difficult to accept them ourselves. This may mean that we abandon our needs and parts of ourselves to adapt and this can lead to many forms of distress such as depression, anxiety, shame, shutting down, or numbing out.

When we feel truly accepted by another human being, we are better able to accept ourselves. If you come to counselling with me, I will provide a warm, accepting, supportive, safe place where we can explore your needs and feelings together. When accepting our needs (for example, safety, love, belonging and relationships, respect, excitement and stimulation, meaning and expressions, and releasing anger) we better meet our own needs, leading to a more fulfilling and authentic life. When working together, I will support you and be fully present in your experience and I will facilitate the work but you will set the pace and depth that you want to go to, learning to trust yourself along the way.

I am a qualified, registered integrative counsellor, offering weekly counselling sessions to individual adults on a long- medium- or short-term basis. I provide online, and telephone sessions to best meet your needs.

Are you experiencing  difficulties like, low self worth, anxiety, depression and overwhelm, sadness and despair, frustration, anger and jealousy, difficulty relating to others, isolation and loneliness. Do you need a warm, caring, non-judgmental and confidential and safe space that supports you when exploring your difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences. 

When you are at a low point in life, talking or reaching out to others can be especially difficult. Yet, looking for help and support can be the first step to creating change in your life and you have done that today. 

I can support you when experiencing specific difficult life events, such as bereavement and loss and when exploring difficulties around relationship issues, upsetting experiences from the past or present, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, low confidence, and work-related stress. 

I offer long/short term therapy that can be face to face, over the phone or online sessions.
