Healthy relationships are so important in our lives. They open up our hearts and allow us a sense of feeling fulfilled and content. If you would like to understand yourself or your relationships with others better, our sessions can help you to explore what’s going on. - to be able to move toward acceptance or maybe change. Maybe you feel anxious, depressed or overwhelmed, have experienced loss or are struggling with low esteem or confidence. Or you’re not sure why you are feeling unfulfilled. You may want to make sense of your feelings and responses to allow yourself to make some positive changes. Perhaps you feel the need to please others, rather than fulfilling your own needs. Whatever your issues, therapy can be challenging and sometimes fun. It can simply be about ongoing maintenance. I offer compassion and down to earth support, in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
