Do you feel like you've lost your spark?
Do you feel that the version of yourself you would normally recognise, or that you'd like to recognise, is lost or out of reach right now?
You may be a high achiever with a great career, but your personal relationships may feel disconnected, tricky or unhealthy.
Maybe you find yourself walking on eggshells around a particular person in your life?
Are you stuck in a pattern of people-pleasing, struggling to say 'no' and never really focusing on your needs?
Do you find yourself constantly apologising or hiding how you feel?
Does it seem that no matter what you do, or how much you achieve, you just never feel good enough somehow?
Do you feel empty, disconnected or like you could be approaching burnout?
Have you experienced a stressful time in your life that you feel haunted by, that you just can't seem to recover from?
Are you struggling with a chronic health condition?
Maybe you have noticed changes in your behaviours, such as comfort eating, drinking more alcohol, withdrawing from others?
If any of this sounds familiar to you so far, please keep reading to see how I could help you...
Create Lasting Change For Yourself

It can be so difficult for us to find our rhythm when life feels disjointed or stuck, lacking a sense of flow.
What has happened to you?
Stressful life experiences can continue to take their toll on us long after we have experienced them.
Not knowing why we feel so low or anxious can leave us feeling out of control.

It can be so difficult for us to find our rhythm when life feels disjointed or stuck, lacking a sense of flow.
What has happened to you?
Stressful life experiences can continue to take their toll on us long after we have experienced them.
Not knowing why we feel so low or anxious can leave us feeling out of control.
We may feel that we shouldn't be struggling at all and this can erode our sense of self-esteem and self-worth.
Please know that we never struggle for no reason, we just don't always recognise what is really going on for us.
Let this be your catalyst for change.
How are you coping at the moment?
If you feel wounded, empty or burnt out, you will need a recovery space.
Regardless of whether your experiences feel big or small, you really can start to heal and create lasting change for yourself.

All of my therapeutic work is trauma-informed ~ I work with a body, mind, emotion focus.
This is because our body, mind and emotional world are ALL affected by what happens to us.

All of my therapeutic work is trauma-informed ~ I work with a body, mind, emotion focus.
This is because our body, mind and emotional world are ALL affected by what happens to us.
If you are suffering after experiencing a time in your life where you felt threatened, frightened or powerless, even if this was many years ago, you could benefit from trauma-informed Counselling or Rewind Trauma Therapy.
If our stress response system remains activated long-term, we experience over-exposure to cortisol and other stress hormones. There is evidence to suggest that this disrupts our body in many ways, including increasing our risk of experiencing;
Digestive problems ~ Sleep difficulties ~ Headaches, Weight-gain ~ Long-term or Chronic illness, Anxiety and Depression.
We may self-sabotage and have difficulty trusting others, or ourselves.
~ This is not our fault.
We may get angry and defensive very quickly, feel confused or conflicted and adopt behaviours such as comfort eating, people-pleasing, procrastination or perfectionism.
If you are giving yourself a hard time about any of the above, please know that you are likely trying to protect yourself, without realising it.
Trauma-informed Counselling can help you to learn how to calm your activated system and understand more about the different protector 'parts' of you.
If you think that you could be suffering with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) please ask me about Rewind Trauma Therapy ~ An internationally recognised technique for treating PTSD.
There is no need to talk about the details of the trauma with Rewind therapy, so it is often referred to as 'Closure without disclosure'.
I offer Rewind as a stand alone therapy or integrated into your online counselling experience with me.
