If you have run out of friends and family to listen to the things that are really upsetting you, it might be time to connect with someone who not only listens to what is happening for you, but who can support you to find your way to a better space. You may be upset with some of the habits that you have developed over the years, but you haven’t the ability to change them by yourself. You may just be disappointed with where you are in life and don’t know where to go from here. It can be frightening and overwhelming and a very lonely time. 1. Discover how you can deal with the stresses and anxiety of life 2. Obtain relief from the worry and upset that you feel in your life 3. Learn how to flow with your life rather than feel that you’re being controlled by life 4. Be willing to let go of hurts and upsets that no longer support you 5. Develop an expansive attitude to life and allow all that you truly want to enter your life 6. Discover how your physical health is intimately involved with how you’re feeling and thinking What Happens in Sessions? During sessions, I will draw on a range of approaches, based on consultation with YOU, as to what feels OK. It's valuable to talk about what is happening as in this you may hear the very wisdom that has been elusive to you. Many clients say that they notice big changes in how they think and feel and it all seems to have come from just talking. Talking seems to be a very under-rated activity. I have great faith in the power of talking and being heard so you can make real changes in your life. This can be very effective when you're faced with working with something that is happening right now in your life. When we talk together it is not about me telling you what to do. When we talk together the process is to help you hear yourself and what you need to do- sometimes along the way I might make some suggestions but typically YOU have the answers to your problems.. it just sometimes takes kindness and courage to hear what needs to happen and I can assist you find both to make the change that needs to happen possible. Sessions may also include some support with anxiety busting strategies such as the use of breath and relaxation.
