Trusted Therapy

COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY

 Proactive holistic therapy focusing on the release of emotions 
held in the mind, body and ​soul

There may be times in our lives when we feel
overwhelmed by our thoughts and emotions, where life’s events, relationships and past traumas can make it difficult to cope with 
day-to-day​ situations. 

 I offer a safe and honest place in which to
explore your feelings, a place for you to be heard and for 
us to work together, to generate a personal effective plan 
to increase self-awareness. 

Relationships 

Not feeling heard or understood in relationships? Difficulties in relating and connecting to your partner, parents, children?

Or are there elements of abusive and control within your relationship?
Give yourself the time to explore how you feel and connect to others and uncover your hopes and needs from the relationships in your life.

Childhood

Childhood experiences and the trauma of abuse, bereavement and divorce can affect and stay with us as we grow into adulthood, leaving us feeling constrained by our emotions and thoughts.
Insight into such issues helps to release the shame and blame we put on ourselves as children and help release the negative sense of self.

Anxiety and Depression

Feeling panicked, alone, stressed, uneasey or worried about the future often feels debiltating.  
Understanding the triggers and trapped emotions which create this fear can help aliviate the symptoms.  
A holistic approach, where awareness of the bodies reaction, together with the thoughts created, is used to reduce anxiety and thus create a feeling of being more in control of your fear.

About me

Discover your potential 

I believe we all have the ability to unlock and understand our true feelings... acknowledging and talking about our emotions helps release our intuative response and become aware of pains and stresses often held in the body.

My counselling name Trusted Therapy embodies my ethos of creating a safe, empathtic and effective space in which to explore and understand feelings and thoughts around who you  are. 

We work together to make connections between emotions and subsequent decisions in life, thus enabling a new self  realisation and growing self empowerment to change and re-start your life.

I integrate elements of inner child work, art therapy, visualisation, the body's sense of self and pyschological theories to enable a holistic approach - the connection between the mind, emotion and body.
