About me and my therapy practice
Life can be difficult sometimes and challenges can arise. I can offer you a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore any concerns or issues that you may be facing. I will work with you to make necessary changes, improve life and wellbeing, build better connections & relationships and move forward from the past.
My sessions are held in Milton Keynes, I can offer face-to-face, telephone and online counselling.
My work style and what I can help with:
There are many areas that I can help my clients with. Below are some examples of how I may work with certain presenting issues.
Relationship challenges- conflicts can be really tough and emotionally exhausting. Together we can work on building stronger healthier connections by understanding patterns and improving communication.
Anxiety- Constant fear and worry can have such an impact on our lives. Together we can look at understanding anxiety and develop coping strategies.
Depression- Feeling empty, low and sad. With a safe space to talk about these feelings, I can help you uncover the root cause.
Trauma- Trauma is something that can leave you with emotional scars that feel heavy. I can support you by developing coping skills and offer a space where you can feel comfortable to share and process your emotions.
Low confidence & low self-esteem- these can make you feel so small and worthless. We can look at the root cause and learn how to build them up using various techniques.
Making the first step into counselling can be really daunting, but you don't have to do this alone. Together we can build a happier you.
