Trauma (e.g. Road traffic accident or attack on the person). Bereavement. Grief. Life can be difficult sometimes. We all go through fearful periods.  when our fears or concerns are not understood by ourselves or those around us, life can then seem impossible. Doubts as to whether or not we can cope, or if we are strong enough for the tests ahead, can sometimes completely consume us. Our fears can outweigh our hopes and when this goes on unaddressed, more serious depression can set in later on. They pile up and become astonishingly difficult to solve. Counselling really can help at this time. When experiencing problems and uncomfortable feelings, discussing and sharing them with a professional caring person can make a real difference. We can work it out, we can make a plan and we can see it through together. Mine is a listening and compassionate process. Often it is not a quick process, but it is always deliberate. We will work towards clarity, whatever is concerning you, be it personal, relationship, anger, betrayal or fear based. Clients can bring whatever they wish to my sessions.
