Fear, sadness, loss... anxiety, depression, grief
I have first hand experience of anxiety and depression. I’ve felt the heart palpitations, rapid breathing, the black cloud that looms, and the self-deprecation that prevents action. We stop the activities we used to find joy in. The crippling anxiety prevents us from leaving our comfort zone. These conditions often travel with their friends; guilt and shame, making it worse. I learned to break this cycle, worked through the things that held me back. It wasn’t an easy journey and I really wanted to give up at times, but I didn’t; I fought. Now as a trained therapist, my lived experience allows me to help others.
Life Challenges
Some of the challenges I have experience of and can work with are:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Bereavement
- Relationships
- Communication challenges
- Boundaries
- Low self-esteem
- Chronic Pain/Fibromyalgia
- Intrusive thoughts
- ADHD/AuDHD
In the therapy room I listen to your worries. I help you to explore your feelings and support you whilst you untangle the threads and lift the weight that's causing pressure, so that you may not only breathe a little easier, but also see a little clearer.
Sometimes, when we're drowning we need a helping hand to stay afloat. Let me be your lifejacket until you remember how to swim on your own again.
