When can Counselling and Therapy help

It can be incredibly isolating to feel unable to talk to others when you're struggling with life or connecting with yourself.

Many people experience moments where they feel overwhelmed or anxious, or struggle with low mood, yet find it difficult to share their feelings with friends and family.

This silence can lead to feelings of loneliness and despair, making the challenges seem even more daunting. Seeking professional help, such as counselling or coaching, can provide an invaluable safe space to express those thoughts and emotions without judgment. This allows individuals to begin healing and find hope through reframing unhelpful thoughts, gaining deeper understanding of themselves and feeling empowered to move forward in any direction and at a pace that suits them.

Remember, you are not alone, and reaching out for support is a brave step towards better mental wellbeing. I will use a range of techniques and therapeutic tools to aid your wellbeing journey, together creating an environment you feel safe to explore.

I am dedicated to empowering individuals to achieve mental well-being, build healthier relationships and navigate life's challenges with resilience. Through reflection, exploration, and a deeper understanding of self, you'll gain a sense of direction that feels right for you.

Examples of areas I can help you explore:

Anxiety - Low Mood - Worry - Emotional Instability
Helping you develop strategies and techniques to cope with day-to-day issues effecting your quality of life and daily living. I have a wealth of experience working with men and women in these area and on general mental wellness issues.

Grief- Bereavement - Loss - Relationships - Trauma
I offer a supportive space to process and explore the complex set of emotions that surround grief or loss you experience in life. Working with you in a trauma informed way, I have extensive experience counselling adults suffering bereavement, as well as adults with learning disabilities.

Stress - Burnout - Feeling stuck - Financial Wellness - OCD
I help to explore contributing factors and gain a better understanding of how to prevent these issues taking over, allowing you to take back control.

Low Self Esteem - Confidence - Identity
Working together to break down and understand the issues or events contributing to these issues, cultivating a more positive outlook. This could include CBT, life coaching skills and solution focused work.

Mental Wellness Matters- Take your first step

I offer open-ended counselling via a number of different methods to make it accessible to all. I offer remote counselling both online and by telephone nationwide. Face to face counselling is in person and is available across two locations. The first is a peaceful setting situated in the rolling countryside of Hursley, we are located on the ground floor. There are no steps to navigate making it accessible for all and offers free parking on site. The second is a warm and inviting space in Southampton City Centre with on street parking and a lift.

Eco-Therapy (walk and talk) is available when suitable. Both sites are conveniently located covering Hampshire cities of Southampton and Winchester plus the surrounding towns and villages of Eastleigh, Romsey, Otterbourne and Ampfield.
