Working With Adults

Whether it be general, or a specific issue, I have several evidence based and tested techniques that will help us to get to the root cause. Together, we will create a plan that supports you to overcome your anxiety and/or depression. Along the way, you will learn to manage anxious thoughts or low moods, and develop an empowering and positive outlook on life. I can assist with:

• General Anxiety Concerns
• Social and situational anxiety e.g. places, events or gatherings
• Specific issues e.g. travelling, work anxiety or exam stress
• Depression/Low moods

I use a trauma-informed approach and am committed to creating a safe and healing space for my clients to process and overcome the impact of both "big T" or "little T" traumas. For more information about trauma, you can read my article here. 

Anyone can suffer trauma, whether this is a single incident or over years of exposure to chronic and complex trauma. I support clients with the following:

• Abuse - Emotional, Physical, Sexual
• Childhood, Chronic & Complex trauma (C-PTSD)
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Domestic abuse and violence 
• Self-harm 
• Grief/bereavement 
• Transport accidents 

Sometimes trauma can manifest in addictions, and I am here to provide personalised support, based on your personal history and reasons for addiction. By working together we will learn about the nature of addiction, explore strategies to overcome cravings and navigate triggers. My article here provides more information. 

I will support you to build a resilient mindset, so you can overcome your addiction once and for all - no matter the length or severity of the addiction. I work with clients who struggle with:

• Alcohol abuse 
• Substance abuse 
• Social media/internet use
• Gambling
• Food and weight issues 
• Shopping/spending money

Chronic pain can often be attributed to emotional and psychological distress, without us even knowing. We will agree a plan of treatment to successfully identify the root cause of your pain, and any triggers. Alongside this, we will work to find solutions to any on-going stressors, so that you can live your life free from emotional and physical pain.
