Are you just go, go, go? Feeling like it's non-stop? Doing everything for everyone? Perhaps you're struggling to think or focus, almost as if there's something wrong with your brain? Find you have new aches and pains or tension in your body that don't make any sense to you?
I am a stress counsellor and I can help. How would it feel to take some time out for you? Even if it were just an hour once a fortnight. A time to let off steam and reconnect with who you the real you is.
About me and my practice
Start to relax and enjoy life again without the constant rush. Less snapping at your kids in the morning, no more dreading going to work because you can't think clearly. A more chilled, focused and productive you, without the current stress you're under now.
We all suffer from stress, even me, and we need it in our lives but we don't want it to become the norm, taking over our mind and bodies. Letting things build up for too long isn't good for us. There's many things we can do to hep ourselves, but sometimes just explaining it all to someone who doesn't know you can be the best outlet.
I work to the person-centred approach meaning that you are the person who is the expert in the room. You know your life, your circumstances and I will join you in your journey, walking alongside you. How we work in our sessions is based on what you bring to the therapy sessions. They are your sessions, for your benefit.
I work online or face to face in Chinnor, Oxfordshire and have a part time practice alongside another job in the healthcare industry.
Experience
I used to work at Number 22 Counselling Services which is a mental health charity based in Windsor, Maidenhead and Slough. I was counselling clients one to one in their Maidenhead office whilst a trainee counsellor.
I have since started my own counselling practice, The Lighthouse Counselling, where I have worked part-time for the last 18 months.
