Counselling

There are many different approaches to counselling and psychotherapy. This is because just as people are different, the difficulties they face are varied, complex, and for some traumatic. There is no one approach that suits every person or situation but what is important is the quality of the relationship you have with the counsellor or therapist.

The counselling I offer is focused on offering you a safe, confidentiality space to help you understand, manage and overcome the changes and challenges you are experiencing in middle and later life.

These may be unexpected, sudden and possibly traumatic events, or more general unwelcome, life-stage changes that are causing difficulties such as changes in roles, identities or responsibilities, retirement, illness and ageing.

Middle and later life is also a time of opportunity. Our brains remain plastic and capable of learning new skills, taking on new challenges and we can be drawn to continuing our personal development by explore XXXX

My approach aims to give you space and time to explore thoroughly what is happening to you, express thoughts and feelings, gain new insights or awareness to build confidence and ways to create a new vision for the future.
