People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons and you maybe experiencing one of the following:

Abuse in a relationships or work
Addictions - alcohol, drugs, gambling
Wgt management, eating disorders, self esteem, confidence or self-harming.
Bereavement
Marriage/relationship problems
Many things can affect our mental wellbeing and health creating stress, anxiety and depression.

Often clients will come to counselling with underlying 'limiting beliefs' such as 'I'm not good enough, not lovable enough or not worthy enough', DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

Whatever the problem counselling will allow you to discuss your problem and any difficult feelings or thoughts you may encounter in a safe and confidential environment.

What therapies do I offer?
Psychotherapy counselling - talking therapy
CBT - solution focused therapy
IEMT - for PTSD and Anxiety
Life Coaching (NLP) - Behavioural change model to help you change negative emotions and limiting beliefs
Time Line Therapy - to release negative emotions linked to past trauma and OCD
Clinical Hypnotherapy - can help with weight and pain management, stopping smoking, etc.
Nutritional therapy - to improve health, weight management

1:1 counselling or online counselling

What to expect in your first session?
FREE 20 minute phone call, this will allow you to talk about what you hope to achieve from the counselling sessions. We would then schedule an appointment lasting an hour where we will explore the nature of the problem in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I offer a pluralistic approach.
Sessions one hour - weekly or fortnightly. I also offer nutritional advice as the mind and body work together!

My journey:
My journey started many years ago with a belief that I wasn’t 'good enough’ a belief I now realise dominates a lot of us. This belief stopped me from believing in myself. When difficult situations happened I blamed myself, it was always my fault because I wasn’t good enough for example in ‘a relationship breakup’ I would tell myself it was because I had done something wrong, if only I had done this or that, maybe he would have stayed. Or ‘If I didn’t get the job’ it was because I wasn't clever enough or 'good enough'. This way of thinking used to hold me back from trying something new because I was scared of failure. DO YOU EXPERIENCE THESE TYPES OF FEELINGS?

The more you reinforce the belief the more you believe it and just like you I needed help!

I embarked on my journey of change through Psychotherapy, NLP and Life coaching, this gave me the opportunity to explore my 'limiting beliefs' and realised that everyone has within them the means to change but only when you start to see things in a different way. I proved this to myself when I walked the ‘Fire Walk’ at an Anthony Robbins weekend seminar, this is how powerful Psychotherapy, NLP & Coaching can be. Why did I walk the Fire walk? to prove to myself I could do it. The Fire Walk is a metaphor, if you can walk it you can do anything in your life; it is only our beliefs that stop us from achieving the life we want! This whole experience has completely changed my life for the better and I no longer have that old belief. THIS IS MY JOURNEY and I have never looked back. YOU TOO CAN MAKE THIS JOURNEY OF CHANGE all you need to do is to take your first step!

CHANGE ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT, NOT WHAT YOU DON'T WANT!
