I offer adult sand tray therapy, a technique which enables clients to become aware of their sensory and imaginative responses to what they bring to session.  

Sessions can be face to face, online or via phone. I offer a free 20 minute phone conversation after which we can decide whether to proceed to a counselling session.

What I Can Help With

Anxiety, Bereavement, Depression Health related issues, Relationships, Self esteem, School experiences, Trauma, Work related issues.

Anxiety

Can be a helpful response which helps you to stay alert to manage a situation. However when the worry does not match the situation faced it can be disruptive and stop you from doing what you want to in life.  Working together we will identify the beliefs that are causing your anxiety and develop strategies to help you cope.

Bereavement and Loss

The death of a loved one or the loss of a relationship  can cause a range of difficult thoughts emotions that can be devastating. By exploring these issues together we can arrive at a place where you can tolerate your feelings and be content to live differently.

Depression

Depression can feel grimy, exhausting and hopeless.  Together we can search for reasons for your low mood and look for glimmers within your life which will help you unburden these depressive feelings and move to a lighter place.

School 

Often described as 'the best years of your life' school can actually be experienced as isolating, frightening and devastating for your self esteem. Bullying, unhealthy competition, rigid structures and work pressure are all present alongside the friendships and growth we experience .  As a child you will have developed ways of behaving in order to survive at school. These 'strategies' often show up in unhelpful ways in adult life. In an empathic non judgemental space we will identify these strategies and together get to a place where you can choose whether to use them in your day to day living. 

Trauma

Defined as an emotional and physiological response to an event or a series of events that completely overwhelms a person's ability to cope. Trauma can leave you feeling unsafe and out of touch with your life. Its important to make the distinction between shock trauma, an isolated event that triggers a trauma response and relational trauma which is the effect of chronic lack of connection with care givers. Although different both leave an imprint in our bodies response to our environment.   Together we can find ways to manage symptoms and help you understand your body's trauma responses.
