Help with stress, depression, anxiety, relationships, self-confidence, bereavement or other emotional difficulties
Welcome
I am a therapist with over nineteen years experience, working from home in Portchester, with individuals in a confidential environment.
You may think that your problem is too big, too small, not understand how talking can help or not be sure that therapy is indeed what is needed.
You may be struggling with an issue like low self esteem, difficulties with relationships, have a significant event like a bereavement or redundancy, or wondering who you really are.
You may have feelings that you cannot understand or that you wish to get rid of. Sometimes these can manifest themselves as panics, aches and pains, various stomach and bowel symptoms or other bodily signs. Feelings can also mainifest themselves in your behaviour like loss/gain of appetite, sleep disturbance, over or under work, withdrawing yourself from the company of others and living in something like your own bubble or fog, increased drinking or smoking, and you may find yourself saying something like thats not me!, I dont know what came over me today!, or why do I keep doing that?.
Therapy can help you to explore difficult, confusing and often painful, emotions and experiences. generally I do not give advice or express opinions but help you to gain insight and understanding; to find meaning so that you can more easily make healthy life choices and become more autonomous and complete.
I believe that we are who we are today, not only because of our given nature but also as a result of our life experiences and the way we perceive them. It can be enlightening and healing to reflect on this away from the intrusions of everyday life within a secure and professional relationship.
