I offer counselling for a broad range of issues although I have a particular interest in working with people who have a chaotic relationship with food. Some of the areas of counselling I offer are listed below:

​

​

​

Depression is a common condition that will affect one in three people at some time in their life.  It is a complicated illness with many different symptoms and causes.

​

​

 

Anxiety is a simplistic blanket term which covers a wide range of problems from the temporary effects of stress to panic attacks, compulsions, phobias or debilitating nervous illness previously known as ‘nervous breakdown’.

​

​

 

Eating disorders are extremely common, however they can be serious and even life threatening if not treated appropriately.  Millions of people are affected by eating disorders every year. 

​

​

 

Work supports society, gives structure and purpose to life, keeps the body and brain occupied and promotes a sense of satisfaction.  When work is rewarding and enjoyable, it can provide a lifetime's worth of wealth and fulfilment. However, when it causes unhappiness and stress, it can make life utterly miserable.

​

​

 

Relationship counselling can help improve the way we relate to the people around us and break free of old patterns to realise our potential. 

​

​

​

Couples counselling looks to improve communication and resolve issues within an intimate relationship. In contrast to counselling for relationship issues, which can be undertaken solely through individual sessions, couples counselling involves both people in the relationship coming to sessions.

​

​

​

Stress is a part of life that we all encounter from time to time.  A little stress can be helpful, kicking us into action to get things done; but too much can affect us both mentally and physically.  Stress is the second major cause of illness at work after back pain, and is becoming more and more of an issue in today's culture.

​

​

 

Self-esteem is how you think and feel about yourself; this may be positive, negative or move between the two points.  This usually dictates how you live your life and the decisions you make – and how you view others too.

​

​

 

It can be very difficult to come to terms with the diagnosis of dementia - for both the sufferer and their family and friends.  It may not be physically painful but over time dementia can change an individual's personality beyond recognition.

​

​

 

Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. Anger is a natural response to feeling attacked, deceived, frustrated or treated unfairly. Everyone gets angry sometimes – it's part of being human. However, it can be a problem if you find it difficult to keep it under control.
