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 10 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
anxiety and panic
assertiveness skills
bereavement (including cot death)
depression and low mood
divorce and separation
eating or food-use disorders
ethnic identity
guilt about past behaviour
intimacy
men's issues
motivation
relationship difficulties
self-esteem and self-confidence
sexuality
shyness
violence
workplace stress
