SPECIALIST AREAS OF WORK

Whilst I am available to work in all areas to support therapeutic change and alleviate emotional suffering, I have an advanced understanding and interest in the following areas :-

​​

Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Low Self Esteem - Improving your mental health so that your psychological, emotional and social well-being is functioning well.  Building your resilience so you are better equipped to deal with the  stresses we face in life in a healthy way.

​​

Addiction, Pre-Addiction and Compulsive Behaviours - Using focused approaches to look at behaviours impacting your life negatively eg weight management, alcohol/substance misuse, gambling, over spending.  You may not  be an addict but may want to feel more in control. 

If you have a serious addiction issue which I feel I can not help you with, I will refer you to a suitable alternative.

​​

Attachment Styles and Relationship Patterns - Understanding patterns in your relationships, exploring emotional security or concerns about finding the right partner, managing separation anxiety and understanding personal boundaries. Exploring what a healthy relationship is.

​​

Caring for Carers - Supporting people who are looking after a loved one and may be struggling with the responsibility. Looking at self care and 'burn-out' which can manifest as emotional, mental and physical exhaustion. Self care is not selfish!

​​

Bereavement and Loss -  Supporting people while they process the death or pre-bereavement of a loved one.  This includes child loss and stillbirth. For some the loss of a pet can be particularly painful and it's impact is often underestimated. Loss can also include the loss of job/career, a relationship, or the end of another important life event which may cause you to question your identity and the meaning of your life.
