I can support with a wide range of psychological and emotional issues, just some of which are list below:
Anxiety, loss and bereavement, childhood experiences, depression, disability or chronic health problems, domestic violence, family or parenting problems, low self esteem, gender identity, relationship or sexuality issues, self harm, stress, suicidal feelings, work related issues.
In addition to my person-centred qualification and core training, I also regularly attend trauma training and take a trauma informed approach to my work. I work with clients who are experiencing more complex issues such as complex post-traumatic stress, hypervigilance, chronic depression, dissociation or severe mood fluctuation. I also support clients who have a mental health diagnosis, such as OCD, BPD, or DID. Trauma related work tends to be more long-term therapy work.
I work in a non-pathologising way, meaning that I don't see difficulties faced by my clients as intrinsic, or as disorders to be 'treated' in the medical sense. Notwithstanding that, I care deeply about what a confirmed or potential clinical diagnosis means to the individual client, and how they want to be seen and understood in the world.
