Therapy helps you understand what is going on, process difficult emotions and to make changes on your terms to enhance your wellbeing. You are in control of the pace and direction of therapy, which will be focused on you (Person Centred). In our calm, confidential space you will not be judged or feel pressurised, but will be treated with respect, compassion and empathy whatever your background or identity.
Together we can build a trusting, honest relationship to explore your problems and help you find ways to move forward whilst developing strategies to help you in the future.
Pre-Bereavement (Anticipatory grief) can feel confusing and isolating. You may be caring for a loved one, or coming to terms with an irreversible diagnosis yourself. Perhaps you want to protect family or loved ones from your genuine emotions.
Counselling offers a quiet, supportive space to explore your emotions, fears, and thoughts honestly as you prepare for what lies ahead.
Following the devastating loss of a loved one, life may seem impossible and overwhelming.
Grief does not follow a pattern or time-line and is individual for everyone, affecting mind, body and heart.
In Therapy, we can gently and slowly build life around your loss.
The loss of an animal can leave us devastated as the absence of a much loved and trusted part of the family hits home.
According to the Dogs Trust, 'over half of dog owners felt the grief they experienced after losing their dog was similar or worse to the loss of a family member'.
Your grief is real and in therapy we honour your human-animal bond.
Grief is not always about death, and can relate to other life losses, such as health, relationships, work, safety and self esteem.
Together, we can gently explore your story, what you are feeling and begin to reconnect you with life and meaning on your terms.
