Specialisations

I specialise in helping people with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, sexual self esteem, anger, self confidence and relaxation. I have worked with victims of domenstic violence and am able to support those that have struggled with their identity after an abusive relationship.

I am currently expanding my knowledge in helping those diagnosed with ADHD and those caught in a naracisstic relationship.

I review progress after 6 sessions and aim to reach progress by session 12. It may mean that you need further sessions or that we try dropping sessions to fortnightly or monthly to allow you to try the techniques learnt during the therapy.

Most common issues I support people with:

Anxiety - I work with you at understanding your anxiety and what you need to move forward. We work on small challenges and reframes to what your anxiety is telling you and build your self confidence. We spend time in your past understanding what has happened in your past that may be adding to your anxiety. The top anxities that I deal with regularly are social anxiety, generalised anxiety and health anxiety.

Emotions - I work a lot with emotions and feelings that arise as a result of life in the present and past. Together we work to understand what the emotions are telling you. We reframe and work on controlling how we view them. The top emotions that I work with are anger, jealousy, fear and sadness

Grief and loss - This covers everything from life changes and the loss of something big within it such as ending a marriage, changing a job or falling out with a friend to bereavement of a partner, child, loved one, friend or pet. I hear what you are saying and together we find ways to move through the grief curve.

Narcissisum - I work on helping those impacted by narcissium to move forward and see that period of time differently. We work at identifying the positives with yourself and how you can protect yourself going forward.

Depression - We work together to identify what is happening in your life in the present and from the past that can be contributing to your depression. We work on skills to build you up and to see life with a different view. We challenge thought processes and spend time understanding emotions and what you can do with them.
