If you would prefer however to use FaceTime and WhatsApp video calls for counselling sessions I am happy to do that instead. My standard fee is 50 but I am happy to offer a fee of 30 to anyone whose circumstances are causing financial difficulty. If you would like to discuss how therapy could help you, feel free to contact me for a free 20 minute chat.
If a 50 min session seems a long time to concentrate at the moment, a shorter session can be arranged with a pro rata fee. Relationship issues are of particular interest to me, both those in the workplace and those in the family setting. People tend to replicate childhood behaviour in adult life which is not always helpful. We may need to find new ways to respond if we are to have healthier connections in the future.
Stress and anxiety is endemic at the moment, our plans are on hold and our future uncertain. As human beings we function best when we feel we are in control. Therapy can help find a way to be more flexible, make changes and if necessary accept what cannot be altered.

Counselling is an informal discussion carried out in a comfortable and confidential setting without interruptions.
You will not be forced to disclose anything you don't want to though being honest is best.
It is not about being given advice but about being helped to find the best way for you to navigate your way through your difficulties with skilled professional support.
This can help you achieve the best outcome for you as an individual.
It can seem really hard and stressful to change and we all respond in different ways; these responses build up over time and can become habitual and may no longer be the most effective way to react.

Remember anger is a normal human emotion, it is how we express it that needs to be managed.
As children, we are told it is wrong to get angry, but if we have healthy self-respect we will of course feel angry sometimes.
It is an impossible expectation to get through life without feeling angry and if we think it is wrong to feel it we will feel a failure every time we succumb to it.
Unexpressed anger can lead to anxiety, depression and unexplained physical symptoms, but the energy generated by anger used wisely can motivate and energise us to make positive changes in our life.

Depression is a horrible feeling.
If you are suffering from depression you may know why started it or you may be mystified by its arrival.
It may be in response to a life event, a bereavement or the break up of a relationship which leaves you feeling out of control and as if your future has been taken away from you.
However, it may also just be a dark feeling that comes over you for no apparent reason.
If we feel bad we may punish ourselves for feeling this way which only worsens the dark empty feeling.

Relationships are curious things - they can begin so well then suddenly change and no longer give the pleasure they once did.
However, therapy can help to improve things between you.
At first when we meet someone we are attracted to we think they are wonderful, that they have all the qualities we really love.
However, in time these qualities seem to fade and we feel angry and let down that the other person 'has fallen off their pedestal - they seem not to be the person we first thought.
The truth may be that they never had these qualities, never were that invented person that we wanted to believe in.
