Mental Health
We all have mental health. We are all human and experience the continuum of good mental health and poor mental health.
I will support you with all mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, low mood, relationship issues, stress, anger, career issues, gender identity and sexuality and generally issues of being human. There is no protection from being human, but there are lots of tools we can put in place to support your mental health.
If you have a diagnosis of a mental health condition, you are welcome to my therapy too. I will work alongside you and support you with your GP/psychiatrist. You may have mental illness but you will also have feelings around grief too for example.
Sometimes talking is enough, with support from me to normalise and re-navigate your feelings and sometimes you need a safe space with me to process the meaning behind issues like anxiety. It’s a safe space for you to be really human, and not a partner, employee, parent, family member or friend.
I am human too, and I wish to be with you to help you explore your feelings around the difficulties life presents to you.
Sometimes our mental health is affected by what has happened in the past, the current situation we are in, addictions or generally living with all the pressures of the 21st century, such as long working hours, social media and the ever present information data overload.
My training has covered breath work, guided mediation, visual creative ways of working and for expressing yourself and the most basic form of human to human connection to support you
Suicide
I will be there if you have had thoughts of suicide, or ending your life. I will offer a safe place to support you, with no judgement and no fear of talking about death.
You may have sadly lost someone to suicide and are finding the bereavement process more complex. It may have been a recent loss or a past loss that you have never had help with but is with you constantly.

LOSS, ILLNESS AND CANCER THERAPY

HOME VISITS
If access or travel is an issue due to illness or disability, it is not a block to therapy

OUTDOOR AND NATURE THERAPY
Walking therapy is highly effective and not as intense as a one-to-one being opposite each other.
