Why Counselling?
Seeking the help of a counsellor can be an important first step to greater self awareness and to a fuller and more rewarding life. It isn’t always easy but it can be very effective.
As a qualified counsellor with more than twelve years’ experience I offer confidential, professional, and non-judgemental counselling in Honor Oak Park, SE23 within an atmosphere of mutual respect. My aim is to create a safe space for you to explore the issues that can make life feel painful or difficult.
Sometimes you have to make the decisions that will enable you to move on. Sometimes it’s more important to fully understand and acknowledge what you really feel about your life.
People seek the help of counsellors for all kinds of reasons. Are you struggling with feelings of worthlessness or finding it difficult to assert yourself? Do you feel helpless and unable to cope in the face of a new and sudden crisis? Do you feel that life is empty and lacking in meaning? Do close relationships leave you without a sense of depth or intimacy? These are all issues that can be illuminated by the counselling process
I Can Help With The Following
Depression
Depression is usually characterised by deep feelings of sadness and hopelessness and an inability to find pleasure in life.
Stress
Stress is an increasingly widespread problem. Prolonged and excessive stress can ultimately lead to ‘burn-out’. Burn-out feels as if your resources have been depleted to the point where you’re no longer able to function.
Couple Counselling
The prospect of seeking couple therapy may seem daunting. I aim to offer a friendly and welcoming space to explore the issues you may be struggling with in your relationship.
Grief & Loss
Loss is an inevitable part of life. To mourn loss is not only natural but essential to the process of healing. Some people find this more difficult than others.
