Who I help

There are many reasons for seeking help. You may be feeling upset and distressed, or have problems in your relationships with others. You may have had a life-crisis like bereavement or redundancy, or may feel upset about something that happened some time ago. You may feel empty or lacking a direction, and that life makes little sense. Perhaps you want to have more confidence in your dealings with others.

Whilst on paper we can separate out distinct problem areas or issues - motivation, self-esteem, bereavement, abuse, sex, adoption, divorce etc - I see myself more as working with individuals, each with their own unique personality. In 15 years I have helped people with all sorts of issues. Perhaps it will help to know some of the issues people have come to me with:

abuse (sexual, mental or physical)
adoption
affairs (having an affair)
anorexia
anxiety and panic
assertiveness skills
bereavement (including cot death)
bulimia
compulsive lying
depression and low mood
divorce and separation
eating disorder or food-use disorders
ethnic identity
guilt about past behaviour
intimacy
men's issues
motivation
pornography (using pornography)
relationship difficulties
self-esteem and self-confidence
sexuality
shyness
trauma
violence
workplace stress
