Personal Profile
Choose me for relationship issues, loss/grief, trauma symptoms, mother/father/family wounding, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, not feeling good enough, alcohol/food misuse or life dis-satisfaction.
We are in relationship with others from the moment we are conceived and what may be happening right now is you are living in a survival way, rather than a thrive way, and every single coping strategy that you have adopted to now has worked 100% as you are alive! These survival coping strategies will now be causing internal pain. In a nutshell you learnt to adapt / cope with life as opposed to be authentic within it (your true self).
Symptoms of ‘adaption’ can include control, perfectionism, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, etc. as the underlying issues are linked to internal fears which are created to stay / be in relationship at a cost to you for fear of rejection, abandonment, inadequacy, not being liked. etc. Effective way of coping may now have you feeling empty, alone, not good enough, under threat, etc. and you may feel like you do not have the tool box for life (you do, it has just been unused so is a bit rusty!). When you are in inner conflict you may use learnt behaviours such as avoidance, withdrawal, self-punishment, self-neglect, sulking or alcohol misuse.
My style of counselling / psychotherapy is relational which means we work together looking at how you are living today. Together we look at ways to support you to live more authentically so you can feel satisfied, contented and fulfilled. Where you can feel freer and embrace choice.
