What you can expect in your first introductory session

Your first session will be a 30 minute appointment where we will get to know each other. It will provide you with a private, informal, empathic and confidential space to discuss an outline of your problem(s) and to find out what counselling is and if you feel it will be helpful to you.

How can counselling help?

I will help you to obtain an all round more positive approach to life in general, by exploring the personal or psychological problems which typically underly issues. Working together will offer you new techniques which can be learnt and used when required. I will help to boost your self-esteem, develop your inner strength and ultimately motivate and guide you to a better life, in which you reach your true potential.

Help with eating and food

I look forward to helping and supporting you to develop a healthy relationship with food, as often behaviour around food can be akin to an addiction; and that addiction needs to be faced at every mealtime, which makes eating issues particularly distressing. If you feel that you are trapped in a vicious circle with food, that you are skipping meals, or that you are constantly comfort eating/bingeing, then I can help you on the road to recovery. Learn how to view your body as the amazing machine that it is, and start using that body to live and enjoy life to the full.

Help with life’s general problems

Whether your problems are related to stress, anxiety, trauma, confidence, low self-esteem, depression or family orientated issues, to name but a few, I will help you to explore these and together we will look at strategies that you can use every day to help eliminate your issues or distress.

Summary of my service

Helping and empowering you to branch out into a better, happier and more meaningful life.

Make the most of every day, and with my support, facilitate the real you to shine through again. Life is too short to be pre-occupied with food issues; or any other debilitating problems.

I regularly integrate Person Centred counselling into my practice in order to facilitate deeper empathic understanding and listening skills.

I often incorporate the use of Mindfulness techniques for relaxation purposes, for boosting self-esteem and for an uplifting sense of wellbeing.
