Does life feel completely overwhelming right now?
Are you tired? Weary? Lost or burnt out?
​
Maybe you've lost hope and can't find a way forward because you are chronically ill and the path feels relentless and so difficult at times?
​
Or maybe you feel so alone as a carer and you feel like no one understands and isolation has been creeping in?
​
Life can feel exhausting sometimes, especially when living with a chronic illness like ME/CFS, or when you are completely burnt out and can't see a way forward.
​
It takes courage to seek help, to find someone who will really listen and understand.
​
I can help you, I have journeyed this path and I understand how hard it can be. I know that there is hope and you can find a way forward to live a better life.

WILDER
Untamed, wild, or free – these natural states are often lost in our busy lives. We've strayed from our innate instincts, forgetting the beauty of simply being.
Now is the time to tune in and rediscover your true self.
WHAT IS
COUNSELLING?
A counsellor is someone who provides a safe, supportive, non-judgmental and confidential space where you can bring anything that is troubling you that you wish to talk about.
​
As a counsellor I will support you and look at the problems that you are bringing to counselling. We will look at what you are wanting to change in your life, explore these things and aim to work towards making changes whilst in a warm and supportive environment.
​
I have a passion to support people that are either living with a chronic illness like CFS/ME/Long Covid or are a carer for someone and need support as I know it is a heavy weight to carry.
Having a Chronic illness can be very isolating and it can be hard to hold onto hope sometimes when travelling through it alone.
​
In life we all have times when things become unmanageable and feel as though we can't cope, this can bring anxiety and a huge amount of stress with it.
Perhaps you have feelings of sadness, you have been through loss, struggling within a relationship and don't know where to turn?
Sometimes it can be a matter of many things accumulating over a few years until you get to a point where you don't feel as though you can cope any longer.
It can profoundly healing process to sit with a counsellor in therapy without fear of being judged and just being able to talk. Talking itself can be very healing especially when it is being responded to in empathy.
​
Counselling helps you to recognise the resources you have within you to make changes and to have a greater control over life. Counselling can bring a sense of hope back which may have been lost for many years.
​
It is important to find a counsellor that you feel that you can trust and that is the right person for you. A large part of finding healing is in the counsellor client relationship, based on trust. Please read my counselling philosophy to find out more about me.
