How can counselling help?

Sometimes life can feel heavy or directionless, even when, from the outside, things seem to be going well. You might notice a sense of frustration, emptiness, or confusion about what’s holding you back. Maybe you’re living with constant pressure, self-criticism, or emotions that feel out of step with what’s actually happening. Or perhaps you’ve just reached a point where old ways of coping don’t seem to work anymore.

Therapy can help you slow things down, make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface, and start to understand yourself in a different way. Together, we can look at what’s been keeping you stuck and work towards creating lasting, meaningful change.

My Approach

My approach to counselling draws on several therapeutic perspectives rather than following a single method. I combine humanistic principles with transactional analysis (TA) and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), adapting my work to suit each person’s individual needs.

At the centre of my practice is the relationship itself – creating a space that feels safe, supportive and genuine, where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. TA helps me understand how patterns formed early in life can influence how we think, feel, and interact with others. By recognising these patterns, it becomes possible to make meaningful changes. Alongside this, CBT can help you see the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and develop practical ways to respond that support the life you want to live.

Counselling Areas

These are some of the more common areas I work with, though my counselling is not limited to these.

Anxiety

Experiencing intense and persistent worry, overwhelming fear and panic attacks in a variety of scenarios.

Depression

Struggling with prolonged feelings of sadness and hopelessness, looking to improve thought process and mood.

Self-Confidence

Dealing with low self-esteem, needing help to develop a positive self-image and the building of self-confidence.

Anger

Difficulty in managing anger, wanting insights into triggers and developing healthy ways to feel in control.

Navigating family, social or romantic relationships, healthy communication, boundaries or dealing with breakups.
