Hurt Needs to be Spoken and Heard…
Is emotional distress keeping you up at night?
Are you struggling with low self-esteem, confusion, depression, anxiety, stress and/or anger issues that are blocking your vision and stopping you from moving forward or being your best??
Do you need support with recovery from the impact of domestic abuse?
Have you experienced trauma, displacement, loss or bereavement?
What about isolation following estrangement from family, friends and/or community?
Are you experiencing symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress?
How are you coping with it all?
When we don’t speak or communicate our hurts and difficult experiences; when these are not heard, understood and witnessed; when we push down our painful emotions and window dress our lives; when we suffer in silence or act out inappropriately: we find ourselves struggling with mental health challenges that manifest differently for different people.
I work with my clients to work through the mental/emotional blocks keeping them stuck and distressed.
In addition to working 1:1, I also work with couples or adult family members whose relationship is in crisis or those wanting to enhance the quality of their relationship.
I also facilitate online group therapy (now exclusively for therapists, deliberately kept small – a maximum 6 participants) for those who might find the one to one counselling too intensive and/or value group dynamics and the healing possibilities inherent in learning to connect authentically in community.
I offer you a safe, confidential and non-judgmental and healing relationship to enable you explore, express, detangle, decongest and discover your way out of stuckness into growth, movement and recovery. There would be no pressure of ‘tangible’ goal-setting, except if that is what you want – then I’d be very happy to support you with that also.
I run my face-to-face-in-person counselling sessions from my home practice in Newbury Park, Ilford, Essex, in the London Borough of Redbridge (IG2). However, most of my work is done remotely via video-conferencing, telephone or by email according to your preference. Just ask.
I’d love to be help you deal with the mental/emotional blocks that are keeping you stuck and distressed.
I’ll be offering you active listening with the objective of helping you see your situation more clearly along with whatever alternative perspectives might be possible and helping you take responsibility for your own life, all of which will empower you to make your own decisions.
In our sessions, my endeavour is for you to feel seen and heard; and for us to work in ways that best suit you.
If you would like to also work on practical goals such as life or career choices, as a qualified personal performance coach, I am well placed to work with you there also.
Bottom line is: if you feel stuck, I can work with you to get unstuck. If you feel lost and confused, I can walk alongside you to find your way. If you feel you’ve lost your voice and/or your sense of identity, I can work with you towards their recovery.
If any of this will useful to you, get in touch with me whenever you’re ready.
